H. Kurihara et al., INHIBITORY EFFECT ON THE ALPHA-GLUCOSIDASE REACTION BY THE AGGREGATEDSTATE OF SULFOQUINOVOSYLDIACYLGLYCEROL, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 61(3), 1997, pp. 536-538
The inhibitory activity of aggregated SQDG toward the alpha-glucosidas
e reaction decreased,vith increasing turbidity of the SQDG suspension,
Dideacylated derivatives of SQDG, sulfoquino-vosylglycerol and sulfoq
uinovose, showed no inhibition toward the reaction, The expression of
inhibition by the SQDG family would require a hydrophobic acyl group(s
) to produce an aggregate and/or interact with a hydrophobic site in t
he enzyme.
