Glycoside hydrolysis can be formally represented by (I). where the group OR (R is alkyl, aryl or a carbohydrate) is displaced from the C1 or C2 atom of an aldose or ketose sugar (or sugar derivative) respectively; the ring system being either five- or six-membered. Like the analogous hydrolysis of acetals, glycoside hydrolysis shows specific catalysis by hydrogen ions and, except where R is an aryl residue, base catalysis is absent. A number of enzymes* catalysing the hydrolysis of particular… CONTINUE READING
