Maltododecaose

Glcα1-4[Glcα1-4]10Glc

Maltododecaose is a linear oligosaccharide composed of twelve D-glucose units linked by α-(1,4)-glycosidic bonds. It is a key fragment produced during the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. This compound is used as a research standard to study the activity of various amylase enzymes and to characterize the fine structure of starch.
