STUDIES ON CARBOHYDRATE-METABOLIZING ENZYMES Part XXV. THE DEBRANCHING ENZYME SYSTEM IN GERMINATED BARLEY

Studies on carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes. 3. Yeast branching enzyme.

enzymes on oX-D-glucosyl phosphate also yields a branched polysaccharide, although Q-enzyme alone has no action on the glucoside. In the animal kingdom a related enzyme system may be partly responsible for glycogen synthesis. Muscle phosphorylase synthesizes amylose-type chains from OC-D-glucosyl phosphate and the concurrent action of this enzyme and an enzyme preparation (branching factor or s...

Studies on carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes. 12. A survey of the carbohydrases of alfalfa.

The presence of a number of carbohydrases in alfalfa (lucerne, Medicago sativa) seeds and seedlings has been reported, including o-D-glucosidase, a-D-galactosidase, fl-D-fucosidase, P-N-acetyl-Dglucosaminidase (Levvy & McAllan, 1962), f-Dglucosidase, ,B-D-galactosidase and M-D-mannosidase (Hill, 1934; Levvy & McAllan, 1962). A comparative study of almond and alfalfa 'emulsins' has also been mad...

Activities of fructan- metabolizing enzymes in barley stems subjected to terminal drought stress

Barley crop grown in semiarid areas may experience water deficit especially during grain filling that makes them more dependent on stem water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC). Fructans are the most important reserved carbohydrates. A pot experiment was undertaken at Shahid Chamran university in the duration of 2010-2011 growing seasons to investigate the accumulation and loss of WSC and the activity...
