Mechanism of Substrate Specificity and Catalysis in Retaining β-Glucosidases From Maize and Sorghum

à -glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of aryl and alkyl à -D-glucosides as well as glucosides with a carbohydrate moiety. The maize à -glucosidase isozymes Glu1and Glu2 hydrolyze a broad spectrum of substrates in addition to its natural substrate DIMBOAGlc, while the sorghum à -glucosidase Dhr1 (...
