Description

Maltose (or malt sugar) is produced by the action of α-and β-amylase on starch. Maltose is an intermediate in the intestinal digestion (i.e. hydrolysis) of glycogen and starch and is found in germinating grains (and other plants and vegetables). Maltose-containing syrups are used in the brewing, baking, soft drink, canning, confectionery, and other food industries (Collins, 2006). Maltose is also used in affinity purification of proteins using MBP-fused protein constructs. Herein, maltose is added to an elution buffer causing release of the MBP-fused protein from the resin.
