Low-resolution structure, oligomerization and its role on the enzymatic activity of a sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase from Bacillus licheniformis.

Knowing the key features of the structure and the biochemistry of proteins is crucial to improving enzymes of industrial interest like β-fructofuranosidase. Gene sacA from Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580 codifies a sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase, a β-fructofuranosidase (E.C.
