...A.M. Vacca-Smith; A.R. Venkitaraman; K.M. Schilling; W.H. Bowen Activities of glucosyltransferases (Gtf) -B, -C and -D adsorbed on the surface of saliva-coated hydroxyapatite were compared with those of Gtfs of donor whole saliva. Antiserum raised against a mixture of the three Gtfs reduced...

...A.M. Vacca-Smith; W.H. Bowen Many dietary components such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins may be incorporated into the salivary pellicle and thus may affect glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity on pellicle surfaces. The effect of milk on streptococcal GTF activity was determined. Milk, when...

Hamada An extract of oolong tea (semifermented tea leaves of Camellia sinensis ) and its chromatographically isolated polyphenolic compound was examined for in vitro inhibitory effects on glucosyltransferases...

...Y. Nara; T. Morioka A protease derived from Streptomyces globisporus diminished the activity of glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.5) produced by Streptococcus mutans to synthesize water-insoluble polysaccharide as determined turbidimetrically and electrophoretically. This reduction depended...

...W.G. Wright; C. Thelwell; B. Svensson; R.R.B. Russell The ability of a range of potential inhibitors to affect the catalytic activity or binding of dextran by a glucosyltransferase (GTF-I) that synthesises insoluble α1,3-linked glucan was tested. Acarbose, deoxynojirimycin, N...

... The aim of our study was to determine whether the structure of glucans formed by glucosyltransferase from Streptococcus sanguinis (GtfSs) on a surface differ from those formed in solution and to explore the effects of antiserum to Gtfs, control normal rabbit serum, starch hydrolysates (STH...

In the present study, the effects of propolis from two different regions of Brazil on the activity of separate, purified Gtf...

... anticaries agents for over 30 years. The purpose of our study was to assess the adsorption and desorption of AmF to experimental dental biofilm and to evaluate the effect of AmF on Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 and glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity in experimental dental biofilms. The experimental plaque...

...Anne M. Vacca Smith; Linda Ng-Evans; David Wunder; William H. Bowen We have shown in previous studies that the glucosyltransferase (Gtf) enzymes of Streptococcus mutans have distinct properties when adsorbed to a surface. In the present study, we compared the activity of Gtf from Streptococcus...

... not seen. Glucosyltransferase (Gtf) activity on discs carried in the mouth after the milk and κ–casein rinses were 45±5 and 67±2% lower than the activity of Gtf on discs carried in the mouth after a water rinse, respectively. These data suggest that milk and κ–casein may influence pellicle formation...
