  2. Amylose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose

    Amylose is made up of α(14) bound glucose molecules. The carbon atoms on glucose are numbered, starting at the aldehyde (C=O) carbon, so, in amylose, the 1-carbon on one glucose molecule is linked to the 4-carbon on the next glucose molecule (α(14) bonds). [3] The structural formula of amylose is pictured at right. The number of ...

  3. Polysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide

    It is made up of a mixture of amylose (15–20%) and amylopectin (80–85%). Amylose consists of a linear chain of several hundred glucose molecules, and Amylopectin is a branched molecule made of several thousand glucose units (every chain of 24–30 glucose units is one unit of Amylopectin). Starches are insoluble in water.

  4. Amylopectin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylopectin

    Amylopectin contains a larger number of Glucose units (2000 to 200,000) as compared to Amylose containing 200 to 1000 α-Glucose units. In contrast, amylose contains very few α(1→6) bonds, or even none at all. This causes amylose to be hydrolyzed more slowly, but also creates higher density and insolubility. [8]

  5. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    A number of starch synthases available in plastids then adds the ADP-glucose via α-1,4-glycosidic bond to a growing chain of glucose residues, liberating ADP. The ADP-glucose is almost certainly added to the non-reducing end of the amylose polymer, as the UDP-glucose is added to the non-reducing end of glycogen during glycogen synthesis. [19]

  6. α-Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Amylase

    Endohydrolysis of (14)-α-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides containing three or more (14)-α-linked D-glucose units. It is the major form of amylase found in humans and other mammals. [3] It is also present in seeds containing starch as a food reserve, and is secreted by many fungi. It is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 13.

  7. Cyclodextrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclodextrin

    [1] Cyclodextrins are composed of 5 or more α-D-glucopyranoside units linked 1->4, as in amylose (a fragment of starch). Typical cyclodextrins contain a number of glucose monomers ranging from six to eight units in a ring, creating a cone shape: α (alpha)-cyclodextrin: 6 glucose subunits; β (beta)-cyclodextrin: 7 glucose subunits

  9. Maltose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltose

    Amylase reaction consisting of hydrolyzing amylose, producing maltose. Maltose (/ ˈ m ɔː l t oʊ s / [2] or / ˈ m ɔː l t oʊ z / [3]), also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(14) bond. In the isomer isomaltose, the two glucose molecules
