  2. Oligosaccharide nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide_nomenclature

    An oligosaccharide has both a reducing and a non-reducing end. The reducing end of an oligosaccharide is the monosaccharide residue with hemiacetal functionality, thereby capable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent, while the non-reducing end is the monosaccharide residue in acetal form, thus incapable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent.

  3. Cellulose 1,4-β-cellobiosidase (non-reducing end) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_1,4-β...

    CBH1 from yeast, for example, is composed of a carbohydrate binding site, a linker region and a catalytic domain. [6] Once the cellulose chain is bound, it is strung through a tunnel-shaped active site where the cellulose is broken down into two-sugar segments called cellobiose. [6] [7] The structure of the enzyme can be seen in the first ...

  4. Glycogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogenesis

    One of the main forms of control is the varied phosphorylation of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase. This is regulated by enzymes under the control of hormonal activity, which is in turn regulated by many factors. As such, there are many different possible effectors when compared to allosteric systems of regulation.

  5. β-Glucuronidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Glucuronidase

    β-Glucuronidases are members of the glycosidase family of enzymes that catalyze breakdown of complex carbohydrates. [2] Human β-glucuronidase is a type of glucuronidase (a member of glycosidase Family 2) that catalyzes hydrolysis of β-D-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing end of mucopolysaccharides (also referred to as glycosaminoglycans) such as heparan sulfate.

  6. Armed and disarmed saccharides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_and_disarmed_saccharides

    In these methods, multiple sugars are added to the reaction mixture. One of the sugars is armed as the glycosyl donor, and reacts quickly with a glycosyl acceptor. The non-reducing sugar then acts as a glycosyl acceptor as a protecting group that is easily lost in solution reveals a free hydroxyl group.

  7. α-Glucosidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Glucosidase

    α-Glucosidase hydrolyzes terminal non-reducing (1→4)-linked α-glucose residues to release a single α-glucose molecule. [ 10 ] α-Glucosidase is a carbohydrate-hydrolase that releases α-glucose as opposed to β-glucose. β-Glucose residues can be released by glucoamylase, a functionally similar enzyme.

  8. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

    The regulation of glucose levels through Homeostasis This tight regulation is referred to as glucose homeostasis . Insulin , which lowers blood sugar, and glucagon , which raises it, are the most well known of the hormones involved, but more recent discoveries of other glucoregulatory hormones have expanded the understanding of this process.

  9. Glycoside hydrolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside_hydrolase

    Glycoside hydrolases can also be classified as exo or endo acting, dependent upon whether they act at the (usually non-reducing) end or in the middle, respectively, of an oligo/polysaccharide chain. Glycoside hydrolases may also be classified by sequence or structure-based methods.
