Application

Digalacturonic acid (DGA), derived in vivo from pectin catabolism, is used for the co-crystallization of enzymes such as proteinase K. It is used in galacturonic acid metabolism research as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterized endo- and exopolygalacturonase(s) and gluconase(s). DGA is used to study the transport of oligogalacturonides by systems such as the TogMNAB ABC transporter.

The process of pectin depolymerization by pectate lyases and glycoside hydrolases produced by pectinolytic organisms, particularly the phytopathogens from the genus Erwinia, is reasonably well understood. Indeed each extracellular and intracellular catabolic stage has been identified using either genetic, bioinformatic
