Abstract excerpt
Maize endosperm branching enzyme II (mBEII) plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of starch by catalyzing the synthesis of the alpha-1,6-branch points. While the central (alpha/beta)8-barrel and the C-terminal domains of mBEII have been analyzed previously, the possible role of its amino terminus in catalysis is still poorly understood. Because the amino terminus of mBEII shares very little sequence...
