- Abstract
- For the production of α-D-glucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P), α-1,4-D-glucan phosphorylase from Thermus caldophilus GK24 was partially purified to a specific activity of 13 U mg-1 and an enzyme recovery of 15%. The amount of G-1-P reached maximum (18%) when soluble starch was used as substrate, and the smallest substrate for G-1-P formation was maltotriose. The structure of purified G-1-P was confirmed by comparison to 13C-NMR data for an authentic sample. In addition to G-1-P, glucose-6-phosphate (12%) was simultaneously produced when 10 mM maltoheptaose was used as substrate.
