Abstract: | Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases) are industrially important enzymes that produce cyclic α-(1,4)-linked oligosaccharides
(cyclodextrins) from starch. Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases are also applied as catalysts in the synthesis of glycosylated
molecules and can act as antistaling agents in the baking industry. To improve the performance of CGTases in these various
applications, protein engineers are screening for CGTase variants with higher product yields, improved CD size specificity,
etc. In this review, we focus on the strategies employed in obtaining CGTases with new or enhanced enzymatic capabilities
by searching for new enzymes and improving existing enzymatic activities via protein engineering. |
