BL-Beta-Glucanase

In the cell walls of many different organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants, beta-glucan is a form of polysaccharide that can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme beta-glucanase. The beta-1,3 and beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages found in beta-glucan molecules are its special targets.

Naturally occurring microbes, plants, and some animals all manufacture beta-glucanase. Its main job is to degrade beta-glucans into glucose and smaller oligosaccharides so that the organism can use or further metabolize them.

An active site that interacts with the beta-glucan substrate is located on a single polypeptide chain that has been folded into a three-dimensional shape. Depending on the enzyme’s source, certain pH and temperature ranges are required for maximum performance.

In food, brewing, animal feed, and other industries, beta-glucanase has a variety of uses.

Beta-glucan is a type of polysaccharide found in the cell walls of numerous different organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants. Beta-glucan can be digested by the enzyme beta-glucanase. Its specific targets are the beta-1,3 and beta-1,4 glycosidic connections present in beta-glucan molecules.

Beta-glucanase is produced naturally by bacteria, plants, and some animals. Its primary function is to break down beta-glucans into glucose and other tiny oligosaccharides so that the organism can use or continue to break them down.

On a single polypeptide chain that has been folded into a three-dimensional structure is an active site that interacts with the beta-glucan substrate. For an enzyme to function at its best, a specific pH and temperature range must exist.

Beta-glucanase has a range of uses in the food, brewing, animal feed, and other industries.
