From: Whole cell-based catalyst for enzymatic production of the osmolyte 2-O-α-glucosylglycerol
a Reaction for the enzymatic production of 2-αGG using sucrose phosphorylase (SucP). b Enzyme selectivity determines the product composition: (1) diastereoselectivity (2-αGG), (2) regio-selectivity (1-αGG), and (3) reaction selectivity (hydrolysis versus glycosylation). The atoms O1 and O2 of the glycerol molecule are marked in green and blue, respectively
