Properties
Description
Isoamylase from Pseudomonas sp. catalyzes the hydrolysis of the branch linkages of starch that act by an Endo-mechanism to give rise to linear maltodextrins with retention of the α-configuration.
Molecular Weight
71.5 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of isoamylase activity is the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of D-glucose reducing sugar equivalent in the presence of oyster glycogen per min at pH 4.0 and 40°C.
Applications
Isoamylase from Pseudomonas sp. can be used in the industrial manufacture of glucose or maltose from starch.
