Application

Maltohexaose (G6) was used as the acceptor for quantifying 4-α-glucanotransferase activity in a study that assessed discrimination of porcine glycogen debranching enzyme isozymes. It has also been used in a study to investigate the production of a thermophilic maltooligosyl-trehalose synthase.

The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus MT4 encodes a maltooligosyltrehalose synthase (MTS), that catalyzes an intramolecular transglycosylation process converting the glycosidic linkages at the reducing end of dextrins from alpha-1,4 into alpha-1,1. In this research the gene encoding MTS was cloned
