FunctionTrehalulose synthase (THS) converts sucrose to trehalulose (TH)[1]. RelevanceSince TH is a sugar substitute and is absorbed more slowly than sucrose it can be used in diabetic and sports food and drinks. Structural highlightsTHS binds sucrose in a deep pocket with mostly conserved residues[2]. |
