Extra Details:
Exoenzyme that releases successive maltose units from the nonreducing end of a polysaccharide chain by hydrolysis of a 1,4-glucan linkages. The shortest normal saccharide attacked is maltotetraose. Since it is unable to bypass branch linkages in branched polysaccharides such as glycogen or amylopectin, the hydrolysis is incomplete and a macromolecular limit dextrin remains. Found primarily in the seeds of higher plants and sweet potatoes. It yields a single product: maltose. The enzyme is useful in structural studies of starch and glycogen. Source: Sweet potato CAS No: 9000-91-3 Form: Supplied as an ammonium sulfate suspension Protein by UV Absorbance: As Reported Units/mg protein: ≥750 units/mg protein (E1%/280) Unit Definition: 1 unit releases 1mg of beta-maltose from starch in 3 minutes at 20ºC, pH 4.8. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C. Do not freeze. Stable for 12 months after receipt.
