Properties
Description
Sucrose phosphorylase from Escherichia coli is responsible for catalyzing sucrose transformation to glucose and fructose.
Unit Definition
One unit will produce 1.0 μmole of D-fructose from sucrose per min with the corresponding reduction of NADP to NADPH at pH 7.6, at 25°C.
Applications
Sucrose phosphorylase from Escherichia coli can be used in sucrose measurement in wheat plants and sucrose hydrogen production.
