Description

Maltose α-D-Glucosyltransferase (Crude Enzyme) is a specialized biocatalyst that facilitates the transfer of glucosyl units from maltose to various acceptor molecules. This enzymatic activity is crucial for the synthesis and modification of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates, enabling precise control over carbohydrate structure. It is an essential tool for researchers and manufacturers in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and food ingredient sectors seeking to develop novel functional compounds.

Application

• Oligosaccharide Synthesis: Key catalyst for the enzymatic production of specialized oligosaccharides, including prebiotics like isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs).
• Glycoconjugate Research: Used in biochemical research to modify sugars on proteins, lipids, or other molecules for structure-activity studies.
• Starch Modification: Applied in the food industry to alter starch properties, improving texture, stability, or creating resistant starch.
• Functional Food Development: Enables the creation of low-calorie sweeteners or dietary fibers with enhanced health benefits.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Production: Facilitates the biocatalytic synthesis of complex carbohydrate-based drug intermediates or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Enzyme Mechanism Studies: Serves as a model enzyme in academic and industrial research to understand glucosyltransferase kinetics and specificity.

Quality Control

Our Maltose α-D-Glucosyltransferase (Crude Enzyme) is produced and tested under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliable performance. While specific activity and protein content are key lot-controlled parameters, all products undergo rigorous quality testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing enzyme activity, purity indicators, and microbiological limits are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption and loss of activity. For optimal performance, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
