Certain glycans -- sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains -- containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic properties that support human health. Identifying enzymes capable of breaking ...

Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies. Galactosides are a type of glycan found in ...

A Tokyo University of Science study identifies a novel β-galactosidase in Bacteroides xylanisolvens that breaks down β-1,2-galactooligosaccharides. The enzyme could aid in prebiotic development and ...

A team of Japanese researchers led by Associate Professor Masahiro Nakajima from the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) has identified a new β-galactosidase enzyme in the gut bacterium Bacteroides ...

Galactosides are a type of glycan found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. For example, galactosides are present in plant cell walls and in certain types of beneficial sugars known as ...
