General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in starch hydrolysis research. For more information see the article in biofiles.
Application
α-glucosidase is potential enzyme for the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates.
Biochem/physiol Actions
α-glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on 1,4-α linkages. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is a prominent target in the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Unit Definition
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of D-glucose from p-nitrophenyl α-D-glucoside per min at pH 6.8 at 37 °C.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing potassium phosphate buffer salt
Analysis Note
Activity using maltose as substrate at pH 6.0 at 25 deg C is ~2X greater than that obtained using p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucoside as substrate at pH 6.8 at 37 °C.
Protein determined by biuret.
