Which from following enzymes cleaves glycosidic bond in sucrose?
C. Invertase
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of -D-glucose and -D-fructose linked by a glycosidic bond. The enzyme invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into its constituent monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. This process is also known as the inversion of cane sugar. Amylose is a polysaccharide, not an enzyme. Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds in proteins. Maltase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes maltose into two glucose molecules.
