Descriptions

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Application

?-glucosidase is used for the determination of ?-amylase and the synthesis of various 1?-O-sucrose and 1-O-fructose esters. It was also used in the measurement of glycosidase inhibition.

For the determination of α-amylase and the synthesis of various 1′-O-sucrose and 1-O-fructose esters

Biochem/physiol Actions

?-glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on 1,4-? linkages. Inhibition of ?-glucosidase is a prominent target in the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing 1→4-linked D-glucose residues with release of D-glucose.
