Application

Maltohexaose (G6) was used as the acceptor for quantifying 4-α-glucanotransferase activity in a study that assessed discrimination of porcine glycogen debranching enzyme isozymes. It has also been used in a study to investigate the production of a thermophilic maltooligosyl-trehalose synthase.

The lining of the maltodextrin-specific maltoporin (LamB) channel exhibits a string of aromatic residues, the greasy slide, part of which has been shown previously by crystallography to be involved in substrate binding. To probe the functional role of the greasy

Maltoporin allows permeation of long maltodextrin chains. It tightly binds the amphiphilic sugar, offering both hydrophobic interactions with a helical lane of aromatic residues and H bonds with ionic side chains. The minimum-energy path of maltohexaose translocation is obtained by

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of alkali metal-coordinated oligosaccharides was obtained in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Fragmentation of the oligosaccharides was observed for Li+- and Na+-coordinated species. For larger alkali metal ions (K+, Rb+, and Cs+), the major products were
