Claims21
A composition comprising an oxidized dextran compound, wherein the oxidized dextran compound is produced by contacting dextran under aqueous conditions with at least one N-oxoammonium salt, at least one periodate compound, and/or at least one peroxide compound, wherein the dextran is a product of an isolated glucosyltransferase enzyme comprising an amino acid sequence selected from one with at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2.
A method of producing an oxidized dextran compound, the method comprising:
- contacting dextran under aqueous conditions with at least one N-oxoammonium salt, at least one periodate compound, and/or at least one peroxide compound, wherein the dextran is a product of an isolated glucosyltransferase enzyme comprising an amino acid sequence selected from one with at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2;
- wherein the dextran is oxidized by the N-oxoammonium salt, periodate compound, and/or peroxide compound thereby producing the oxidized dextran compound.
