A Computational Comparative study of α-Glucosidase enzyme Divergence
α-Glucosidase (α-Gls) enzymes have a crucial role in digestion of carbohydrates and biosynthesis of glycoproteins. Theses enzymes hydrolyze terminal glycosidic bonds and release α-glucose from the substrate chain. They are found in prokaryotic cells, plants and mammalian tissues such as liver, blood and especially intestine. The last step of carbohydrate digestion is catalyzed by α-glucosidases (namely maltase-glucoamylase or MGAM in mammals) which results in liberation of glucose.
