β-Glucosidase, Sweet Almonds

Molecular Biology Grade

β-Glucosidase is an enzyme that acts upon β1-4 bonds linking two glucose or glucose-substituted molecules (i.e., the disaccharide cellobiose). It is an exocellulase with specificity for a variety of beta-D-glycoside substrates. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing residues in beta-D-glucosides with release of glucose. β-Glucosidase from almonds is a homodimer consisting of 2 equal subunits of 65 kDa and is a glycoprotein.

β-Glucosidase catalyzes the reaction of β-D-Glucoside + H₂O → D-Glucose + Alcohol.
