Background
Maltopentaose is a linear oligosaccharide composed of five D-glucose units linked by α-(1,4)-glycosidic bonds. It is a common fragment produced during the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Maltopentaose is used as a research standard to study the activity of carbohydrate-active enzymes, particularly amylases.
