General description

The new Maltose Assay Kit, MAK513, is now available! Maltose is a disaccharide containing two glucose molecules with an a(1→4) glycosidic linkage. Maltose can be derived from starch in food through the action of amylase. Maltose can be found in many food products, including beer, cereals, and pasta.

Suitability

Suitable for the direct detection of maltose in a variety of samples, including serum, plasma, food, or growth media.

Principle

The Maltose Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring maltose in a variety of samples, including serum, plasma, food, or growth media. In this kit, maltose is converted to two glucose units via α-D-Glucosidase. Glucose is further oxidized, resulting in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the maltose present.

The production of secondary metabolites, while important for bioengineering purposes, presents a paradox in itself. Though widely existing in plants and bacteria, they have no definite physiological roles. Yet in both native habitats and laboratories, their production appears robust and

Neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) is a defining feature of organismal aging that is influenced by peripheral tissues. Clinical observations indicate that skeletal muscle influences CNS aging, but the underlying muscle-to-brain signaling remains unexplored. In Drosophila, we find
