| 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- |
| Analysis Note: | Protein determined by biuret. |
| 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. |
