Background

Beta-amylase activity. Can use p-nitrophenyl maltopentaoside (PNPG5) as substrate only in reduced form. Can play a minor role in the starch degradation and maltose metabolism in chloroplasts during the night. More active on phosphorylated glucan. Interacts directly with starch or other alpha-1,4-glucan.
