Produktinformation

• Name: β,β-Trehalose

Beschreibung

β,β-Trehalose is a carbohydrate that is synthesized by the expression of a trehalose synthase enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. β,β-Trehalose is an acidic sugar with two glucose subunits. It has been shown to have an enzymatic mechanism similar to that of glucose. β,β-Trehalose has been found to increase the solubility and stability of proteins in acidic phs (pHs) by binding to hydroxyl groups on protein surfaces. β,β-Trehalose also binds to alcohols such as ethanol and methanol, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms. This sugar also forms hexamers in solution, which may contribute to its effectiveness as a stabilizer for proteins and other molecules. The optimum ph for β,β-trehalose synthesis is around 5.5-6.0 and it can be used at higher ph
