Transglycosylation activity of β- N-acetylhexosaminidase from Penicillium oxalicum and its application to synthesis of a drug carrier

Penicillium oxalicum β- N-acetylhexosaminidase was found to have transglycosylation activity in addition to hydrolytic activity. The enzyme effectively transferred N-acetylglucosamine to various alcohols in the presence of N-acetylchitooligomers as donors. The enzyme also transferred N-acetylglucosa...
