The Characteristics of Amylo-1,6-Glucosidase

Amylo-1,6-glucosidase plays an important role in the degradation of glycogen with independent catalytic activity. It is usually present as part of a bifunctional enzyme. Amylo-1,6-glucosidase only hydrolyzes α -1,6 bonds in starch, glycogen, and derived oligosaccharides to produce sugars with an α configuration. When starch or glycogen is digested by amylo-1,6-glucosidase, the glucan chains in these glycans are cut from their non-reducing ends and phosphorylase-restricted dextrin is truncated to other chains by the α -1,6 bond. The 4- α -glucan transferase activity of the bifunctional protein transfers the maltotriose unit to the nonreducing end of the other chains to form the α -1,4 bond, whose amylo-1,6-glucosidase activity hydrolyzes the remaining α -1,6 glucose-based stubs to release α -glucose. Adding amylo-1,6-glucosidase effectively hydrolyzes α -1,6 glycosidic bond, improves the conversion rate and purity of modified starch, and shortens the enzymatic digestion time.

Amylo-1,6-Glucosidase Treatment Services at CD BioGlyco

Equipped with first-class production technology, the professional scientific team at CD BioGlyco provides high-quality Modified Starch Manufacturing Services.

• Treatment service

The viscoelasticity and ductility of starch are improved by changing the properties of various enzymatic compounds such as gelation, liquefaction, and saccharification. We have several methods to modify starch by adding amylo-1,6-glucosidase. Depending on our customers' scientific or industrial needs, we offer products in different sizes and packages. We are capable of providing efficient and reliable services to accelerate our clients' scientific research by shortening project time.

• Other services

Our amylase-based native starch is used to produce modification with well-defined and uniform glycosidic bonds, resulting in improved modified starch safety, and consistency. We use the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the structure and index reaction. You will receive one copy of the original data plot and one copy of the analyzed report.
