Can I read Dextran Biosynthesis via Dextransucrase on EtoBox?

Dextran Biosynthesis via Dextransucrase by maciel is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Dextran Biosynthesis via Dextransucrase about?

1) The document discusses dextransucrase and the mechanism for dextran biosynthesis. 2) It summarizes a recent study proposing an alternative mechanism involving sucrose and glucose as initiator primers, but provides evidence against this proposal. 3) Through labeling and analysis experiments, it shows that glucose moieties from sucrose are added to the reducing ends of growing dextran chains in a highly processive two-site insertion mechanism, rather than to non-reducing ends as the alternative mechanism
