Small Intestinal Disaccharidases: Their Properties and Role as Sugar Translocators across Natural and Artificial Membranes

  • Chapter
The Enzymes of Biological Membranes

Abstract

This chapter will first review our general knowledge about small intestinal oligo- and disaccharidases and then will cover in more detail what is known about the structure and catalytic mechanism of two of them, i.e., the sucrase-isomaltase complex. Finally, the role of sucrase-isomaltase as group translocator across natural and artificial membranes will be discussed.
