海藻糖的应用及基因工程研究

Study on the Genetic Engineering of Trehalose and its Application

简述了海藻糖的功效、生物制备、基因工程及其在医药和抗逆植物基因工程等领域中最新研究进展。并对昆虫体内海藻糖酶基因的研究进展及其前景加以展望。

Trehalose is a two non-reducing sugar with special physical and chemical property, which is widespread in nature. In addition to the general characteristics of oligosaccharides, it also has unique biological characteristics that are different from other sugars.With the in-depth study on the trehalose, it has been applied in food, medicine, cosmetics, molecular biology and other fields widely in recent years. In this paper the effect, biological preparation, genetic engineering of trehalose were described.And the latest research progress in medicine and antiretroviral plant genetic engineering fields was also reviewed.At the same time,the research prospects of Trehalase enzyme gene in insect was expected.
