Description
Glycopeptidase found in almonds can be divided into three groups- A, B and C. the optimum pH value and the isoelectric point of glycopeptidase A is 6.0 and 7.7 respectively. It has a preference for glycopeptides with long chains. It is also capable of hydrolyzing intact glycoproteins such as, desialyted human transferrin, ovalbumin etc. These proteins cleave glycoproteins with asialocarbohydrate moieties at their β-aspartyl-glucosylamine linkages.Application:Glycopeptidase A from almonds is used for deglycosylation. It catalyzes the removal of N-linked oligosaccharide chains and converts Asn residue to Asp
