Abstract
Disclosed herein are proteins capable of forming glucans having alpha-1,2 linkages/branches, reactions and methods for producing such glucan, compositions comprising such glucan, and various applications thereof.
Claims29
A composition comprising an ether derivative of an alpha-glucan, wherein the alpha-glucan comprises (i) a backbone and (ii) one or more alpha-1,2 linkages that branch from the backbone,
- wherein the backbone has a degree of polymerization of 3 to 2000, and 100% of the glycosidic linkages of the backbone are alpha-1,6 linkages,
- and wherein the alpha-glucan does not contain any glycosidic linkages aside from alpha-1,6 and alpha-1,2 glycosidic linkages.
