Summary
Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of starch into cyclodextrins. This group of enzymes has gained significant attention due to the unique properties of cyclodextrins, such as their ability to form inclusion complexes with various molecules. This has led to their widespread application in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of CGTases, covering their:
