Alternansucrase
text:
In enzymology, an alternansucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction that transfers an alpha-D-glucosyl residue from sucrose alternately to the 6- and 3-positions of the non-reducing terminal residue of an alpha-D-glucan, thereby creating a glucan with alternating alpha-1,6- and alpha-1,3-bonds. The name "alternan" was coined in 1982 for the glucan based on its alternating linkage structure. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransfera
