The widely commercially exploited guar GaM has been the subject of some studies dealing with chemical or enzymic modifications aimed to extend the apphcation range of this polysaccharide. Specific oxidation on the C-6 position of the Galp side chain units was performed by /1-galactosidase [241,430]. 

The structural varieties of hemicelluloses offer a number of possibilities for specific chemical, physical, and enzymic modifications. Future advancements will be based on the synthesis of hemicellulose-based polymers with new functionalities and with a well-defined and preset primary structure both on the level of the repeating imit and the polymer chain. Hemicelluloses have also started to be attractive to synthetic polymer chemists as...

Figure 27.1 Three common nucleoside triphosphate derivatives that can be incorporated into oligonucleotides by enzymatic means. The first two are biotin derivatives of pyrimidine and purine bases, respectively, that can be added to an existing DNA strand using either polymerase or terminal transferase enzymes. Modification of DNA with these nucleosides results in a probe detectable with labeled avidin or streptavidin conjugates. The third nucleoside triphosphate derivative contains an amine group that can be added to DNA using terminal transferase. The modified oligonucleotide then can be labeled with amine-reactive bioconjugation reagents to create a detectable probe.

Further, drug absorption, distribution, and elimination from the body may vary due to differences in protein binding, enzymic modification, etc, since proteins are also chiral entities (see Chapter 13). 

After donating its phosphate group to ADP, 1,3-diphosphoglycerate is converted into 3-phospho-glycerate. This reaction is followed by enzymic modification to 2-phosphoglycerate.

The following factors appear to control the emulsification properties of milk proteins in food product applications 1) the physico-chemical state of the proteins as influenced by pH, Ca and other polyvalent ions, denaturation, aggregation, enzyme modification, and conditions used to produce the emulsion 2) composition and processing conditions with respect to lipid-protein ratio, chemical emulsifiers, physical state of the fat phase, ionic activities, pH, and viscosity of the dispersion phase surrounding the fat globules and 3) the sequence and process for incorporating the respective components of the emulsion and for forming the emulsion. 

We have chosen to discuss enzyme modification of proteins in terms of changes in various functional properties. Another approach might have been to consider specific substrates for protease action such as meat and milk, legumes and cereals, and the novel sources of food protein such as leaves and microorganisms ( ). Alternatively, the proteases themselves provide categories for discussion, among which are their source (animals, plants, microorganisms), their type (serine-, sulfhydryl-, and metalloenzymes), and their specificity (endo- and exopeptidases, aromatic, aliphatic, or basic residue bond specificity). See Yamamoto (2) for a review of proteolytic enzymes important to functionality.
