| amylose recognition and ring-size determination of amylomaltase. | starch is a major carbon and energy source throughout all kingdoms of life. it consists of two carbohydrate polymers, branched amylopectin and linear amylose, which are sparingly soluble in water. hence, the enzymatic breakdown by glycoside hydrolases (ghs) is of great biological and societal importance. amylomaltases (ams) are ghs specialized in the hydrolysis of α-1,4-linked sugar chains such as amylose. they are able to catalyze an intramolecular transglycosylation of a bound sugar chain yiel ... | 2017 | 28097217 |
