Abstract:

Cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase(CGTase)is a kind of α-amylase that can catalyze the cleavage and cyclization of α-1, 4 bonds in starch or polysaccharides to form cyclodextrins(CDs). CGTase is mainly used in industry to produce cyclodextrins. In recent years,There has been remarkable progress in the use of the transglycosylation effect of CGTase to modify the properties of natural products,which is becoming a promising development direction. This review introduces the source,protein structure and catalytic mechanism of CGTase,and focuses on its application in glycosylation modification of natural products in recent years,aiming to provide references for the in-depth research and application of CGTase in this field.

Key words: cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase, protein structure, natural products, glycosylation reaction
