Amylopectin, amylose free (CAS 9037-22-3)
QUICK LINKS
Amylopectin is a polysaccharide that serves as a readily available source of energy for plants and some animals. It is a branched polymer of glucose molecules, with α-1,4 glycosidic bonds forming linear chains and α-1,6 glycosidic bonds creating branch points. Amylopectin is utilized as a substrate for enzymatic assays and as a standard for molecular weight determination. Its mechanism of action involves serving as a substrate for enzymes such as amylase, which hydrolyzes the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds to release glucose units. This allows for the study of enzyme kinetics and the determination of enzymatic activity. Amylopectin can be used as a model substrate for investigating the effects of various experimental conditions on carbohydrate metabolism and digestion. Its structure and properties make it useful for studying the biochemical processes involved in carbohydrate utilization.
