General description

Maltose 1-epimerase (MER), is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of α and β anomers of maltose.

Application

Maltose epimerase has been used in a study to assess metabolite gene regulation. It has also been used in a study to investigate saccharogenic determination of α-amylase in serum and urine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Determination of α-amylase in clinical analysis. Suitable for the determination of maltose.

Other Notes

Enzymatically converts β-maltose to α-maltose.
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which converts 1 umol of β-maltose to α-maltose per minute at 25°C and pH 7.0.

I describe a new kinetic enzymatic saccharogenic method for assaying alpha-amylase in human serum and urine. alpha-Amylase liberates maltose from starch. This is successively acted on by alpha-glucosidase, mutarotase, and glucose dehydrogenase. The resulting conversion of NAD+ to NADH, measured

A novel enzyme, maltose 1-epimerase (MER), that catalyzes the interconversion of alpha and beta anomers of maltose was found in a cell-free extract of Lactobacillus brevis IFO 3345, and MER was purified to homogeneity from the crude extract. The M(r)

Imidazole, histidine, histamine, histidinol phosphate, urocanic acid, or imidazolepropionic acid were shown to induce the L-arabinose operon in the absence of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate. Induction was quantitated by measuring the increased differential rate of synthesis of L-arabinose isomerase in Escherichia

A novel enzymic determination of maltose with four enzymes (a new enzyme, maltose 1-epimerase [EC 5.1.3.-], maltose phosphorylase [EC 2.4.1.8], beta-phosphoglucomutase [EC 5.4.2.6], and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.49]) is described. Maltose was rapidly and quantitatively determined within about 2 min
