Puerarin (daidzein-8-<i>C</i>-glucoside) is an isoflavone isolated from several leguminous plants of the genus <i>Pueraria</i>. Puerarin possesses several pharmacological properties; however, the poor solubility of puerarin limits its applications. To resolve this poor solubility, <i>Deinococcus geothermalis</i> amylosucrase (<i>Dg</i>AS) was used to modify puerarin into more soluble derivatives. The results showed that <i>Dg</i>AS could biotransform puerarin into a novel compound: puerarin-4'-< ...[more]
