Invertase

spinqualitylabelsall models Invertase complex with fructose (PDB code 3kf3). Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Invertase (INV) catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. INV is produced by bees which use it to make honey from nectar. Cell-wall INV is crucial for metabolism, growth and differentiation in plants. For details in Hebrew see Invertase (Hebrew). Relevance INV is used in the food industry to produce fructose which is sweeter and does not crystallize easily.
