Possesses one of the activities of EC?3.2.1.80, fructan ¦Â-fructosidase. While the best substrates are the inulin-type fructans, such as 1-kestose (¦Â-D-fructofuranosyl-(2¡ú1)-¦Â-D-fructofuranosyl ¦Á-D-glucopyranoside) and 1,1-nystose (¦Â-D-fructofuranosyl-(2¡ú1)-¦Â-D-fructofuranosyl-(2¡ú1)-¦Â-D-fructofuranosyl ¦Á-D-glucopyranoside), some (but not all) levan-type fructans can also be hydrolysed, but more slowly [see EC?3.2.1.154, fructan ¦Â-(2,6)-fructosidase]. Sucrose, while being a very poor substrate, can substantially inhibit enzyme activity in some cases. |
