Turning tail : The specific functions of C‐terminal cationic amphipathic peptide in the formation of bacterial membrane‐bound glycosyltransferases have been demonstrated. This mechanism was applied to a general concept that allows highly oriented immobilization of enzymes on membrane‐mimetic solid surfaces, such as recombinant full‐length H. pylori α1,3‐fucosyltransferase on a magnetic bead (see picture).
