Levansucrase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction sucrose + (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n \rightleftharpoons glucose + (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n+1
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sucrose and (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n, whereas its two products are glucose and (2,6-beta-D-fructosyl)n+1.
