Description
This enzyme, like EC 4.2.2.17 [inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming)] and EC 4.2.2.18 [inulin fructotransferase (DFA-III-forming)] eliminates the fructan chain from the terminal disaccharide leaving a difructose dianhydride. These enzymes have long been known as fructotransferases, so this is retained in the accepted name. Since the transfer is intramolecular, the reaction is an elimination and, hence, the enzyme is a lyase, belonging in EC 4.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
2,6-β-D-fructan D-fructosyl-D-fructosyltransferase (forming di-β-D-fructofuranose 2,6':2',6-dianhydride); levan fructotransferase; 2,6-β-D-fructan lyase (di-β-D-fructofuranose-2,6':2',6-dianhydride-forming)
Reaction
Produces di-β-D-fructofuranose 2,6':2',6-dianhydride (DFA IV) by successively eliminating the diminishing (2→6)-β-D-fructan (levan) chain from the terminal D-fructosyl-D-fructosyl disaccharide
