Mutation Q345F in sucrose phosphorylase from (SP) has shown to allow efficient (+)-catechin glucosylation yielding a regioisomeric mixture: (+)-catechin-3'--α-D-glucopyranoside, (+)-catechin-5--α-D-glucopyranoside and (+)-catechin-3',5--α-D-diglucopyranoside with a ratio of 51 : 25 : 24. Here, we efficiently increased the control of (+)-catechin glucosylation regioselectivity with a new variant Q345F/P134D. The same products were obtained with a ratio of 82 : 9 : 9. Thanks to bioinformatics models, we successfully explained the glucosylation favoured at the OH-3' position due to the mutation P134D.

Although dihydromyricetin exhibits strong potential for pharmaceutical applications, its limited aqueous solubility, permeability and stability restrict its use. In this work, we have synthesized a series of glucosides and acyl-glucosides of dihydromyricetin that could increase the bioavailability of this molecule. First, the R134A variant of sucrose phosphorylase from catalyzed the formation of three monoglucosides, and the major one was identified as dihydromyricetin 4'--α-D-glucopyranoside (>75% conversion yield).

2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) is often substituted for l-ascorbic acid (L-AA) in health- and skincare products due to its enhanced stability and comparable antioxidant. Enzymatic catalysis for AA-2G is gaining widespread interest and sucrose phosphorylases (SPase) have shown promise in achieving higher yields. To enhance AA-2G synthesis, we screened and identified the SPase from Bifidobacterium longum (BlSPase) as the starting enzyme, with an optimal pH of 5.

Background: Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely recognised as a versatile chassis for constructing microbial cell factories. However, producing chemicals from toxic, highly concentrated, or cell-impermeable substrates, or chemicals dependent on enzymatic reactions incompatible with the yeast's intracellular environment, remains challenging. One such chemical is 2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (glucosyl glycerol, αGG), a natural osmolyte used in the cosmetics and healthcare industries.

Enzyme immobilization into carrier materials has broad importance in biotechnology, yet understanding the catalysis of enzymes bound to solid surfaces remains challenging. Here, we explore surface effects on the catalysis of sucrose phosphorylase through a fusion protein approach. We immobilize the enzyme via a structurally rigid α-helical linker [EAK] of tunable spacer length due to the variable number of pentapeptide repeats used ( = 6, 14, 19).
