Structural and functional properties of inulinases. Ways to regulate their activity

The presented review is devoted to the analysis of structural and functional properties of inulinases from various producers. A special attention is given to the questions of molecular and permolecular organization of enzymes, description of their functional features depending upon their structural conditions and in various microenvironment. Perspectives of the development of biotechnological processes with the use of free and immobilized inulinases are discussed from a biophysical viewpoint.
