Abstract:Invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. Invertase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in studies of the enzyme catalytic mechanism for more than a century. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to determine the kinetics and physical characteristics of invertase, respectively. Two subspecies of invertase with unique melting points of ∼57 and ∼65 °C are identified using DSC. The rate of invertase-catalyzed sucrose hydro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
