Claim Text:
1. A method for preparing galactose 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (AHG), comprising steps of: obtaining an α-neoagarobiose hydrolase from a culture of host cells transformed with a recombinant vector, wherein the recombinant vector comprises an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2; combining an α-neoagarobiose, a buffer and the α-neoagarobiose hydrolase to form a reaction solution; heating the reaction solution at a temperature effective to cause a reaction between the α neoagarobiose and the α-neoagarobiose hydrolase and obtaining galactose or AHG from the degradation product.
