Sucrose

The energy for the reaction is gained by the cleavage of Uridine diphosphate (UDP).

Sucrose gap

It can only measure the relative changes in the potential between the regions separated by the sucrose solution because of the shunting effect.

The sucrose gap technique is used to create a conduction block in nerve or muscle fibers.

Sucrose phosphorylase

First discovered in Gram-negative bacteria, both Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) function in sucrose phosphorylase regulation (Reid and Abratt 2005).

Tapinoma sessile

They labeled sucrose with Immunoglobin G (IgG) proteins, and then identified them using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to track the movement of food.
