This enzyme achieves the hydrolysis with a retention molecular mechanism. Actually, the invertase hydrolyses the D-sucrose to form the D-fructose and the D-glucose. So, the substrate anomeric configuration is conserved in products.

Thermotoga maritima Beta-fructosidase (invertase)

Introduction

The Beta-fructosidase (β-D-fructofuranosidase EC 3. 2. 1. 26.) of the thermophilic baterium Thermotoga maritima is an enzyme which hydrolyzes sucrose to release fructose and glucose. Image:Invertase.gif

This enzyme achieves the hydrolysis with a retention molecular mechanism. Actually, the invertase hydrolyses the D-sucrose to form the D-fructose and the D-glucose. So, the substrate anomeric configuration is conserved in products.
