Kinetics of Cyclization Reaction Catalysed by the Enzyme Cyclomaltodextringlucanotransferase

Abstract

In this work a kinetic model that takes into account the reversibility of the cyclization reaction, the simultaneous production of ß- and ??-CD and the inhibitory influence of the substrate and products (CDs), on the enzymatic activity of the CGTase from Bacillus sp alkalophilic, cloned in E. coli, is developed. The model is compared to experimental data and it was verified that it showed flexibility to closely follow experimental data up to the time limit of the experimental test of 24 hours.
