IUBMB Comments
Sialoglycoconjugates present in vertebrates are linked exclusively by alpha-linkages and are released in alpha form during degradation. This enzyme accelerates maturotation to the beta form via the open form (which also occurs as a slow spontaneous reaction). The open form is necessary for further metabolism by the bacteria.
