Secondary metabolites and synthetic iminosugars that structurally resemble monosaccharides are potent inhibitors of a-glucosidase activity. The enzyme is core in cleaving sucrose in phloem feeding insects and it also ...
Apis cerana indica foragers were used for the isolation of a full-length α- glucosidase cDNA, and for purification of the active nascent protein by low salt extraction of bee homogenates, ammonium sulphate precipitat...
Alpha-glucosidase is synthesized in the hypopharyngeal glands located in the head of worker bees including Apisflorea. To analyze the developmental stage-specific expression of the a-glucosidase gene inA.florea, total...
