Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase catalyzes the formation of a mixture of cyclodextrins from starch by an intramolecular transglycosylation reaction. To manipulate the product specificity of thePaenibacillussp. A11 and Bacillus maceranscyclodextrin glycosyltransferases towards the preferential formation of c-cyclodextrin (CD8), crosslinked imprinted proteins of both cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases were prepared by applying enzyme imprinting and immobilization methodologies.
