Abstract excerpt
Amylomaltases (4-α-glucanotransferases, E.C. 2.4.1.25) are enzymes which can perform a double-step catalytic process, resulting in a transglycosylation reaction. They hydrolyse glucosidic bonds of α-1,4'-d-glucans and transfer the glucan portion with the newly available anomeric carbon to the 4'-position of an α-1,4'-d-glucan acceptor. The intramolecular reaction produces a cyclic α-1,4'-glucan. Amylomaltases can...
