Abstract
Glucosidases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of glycosidic bonds in oligosaccharides or glycoconjugates. Several glucosidases are specific for the cleavage of glycosidic bonds depending on the number, position or configuration of the hydroxyl groups in the sugar molecule. The activity of glucosidases is fundamental to several biochemical processes such as (i) degradation of diet p…
