Function

Trehalulose synthase (THS) converts sucrose to trehalulose (TH)[1].

Relevance

Since TH is a sugar substitute and is absorbed more slowly than sucrose it can be used in diabetic and sports food and drinks.

Structural highlights

THS binds sucrose in a deep pocket with mostly conserved residues[2].

Structure of trehalulose synthase complex with sucrose (stick model) and Ca+2 ion (green) (PDB code 2pwe).
