👉 Dryobalanops is a term used in the field of molecular biology to describe an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a sugar molecule, specifically fructose. Fructose is a common monosaccharide found in plant cells and can be converted into other sugars through various metabolic pathways. Dryobalanops enzymes are involved in this process by breaking down fructose molecules into simpler compounds such as glucose or galactose.
