The characterization of modified starch branching enzymes: toward the control of starch chain-length distributions.

The characterization of modified starch branching enzymes: toward the control of starch chain-length distributions.

Starch is a complex branched glucose polymer whose branch molecular weight distribution (the chain-length distribution, CLD) influences nutritionally important properties such as digestion rate. Chain-stopping in starch biosynthesis is by starch branching enzyme (SBE). Site-directed mutagenesis was...
