| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Catalyzes the sequential degradation of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucans from
the non-reducing end with the release of 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose.
- Thus, for an alpha-glucan containing n (1->4)-linked glucose units,
the final products are 1 glucose plus (n-1) 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose.
- Maltose, maltosaccharides and amylose are all completely degraded.
- Does not degrade (1->6)-alpha-gucosidic bonds and thus the
degradation of a branched glucan, such as amylopectin or glycogen,
will result in the formation of 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose plus a limit
dextrin.
- Other enzymes involved in the anhydrofructose pathway are
EC 4.2.1.110, EC 4.2.1.111 and EC 5.3.2.7.
