Native beta-Amylase

Specification

• Cat#: THP-205
• Product Name: Native beta-Amylase
• Description: ß-Amylase is an 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 (Myrback, K. and G. Neumuller, The Enzymes, Vol. I, Part 1, p 653, 1950). Since it is unable to bypass branch linkages in branched polysaccharides such as glycogen or amylopectin, their hydrolysis is incomplete and a macromolecular limit dextrin remains.
• Molecular Weight: It has a molecular weight of 206,000
• Optimal pH: PH 4.0-5.0
