Maltopentaose

Maltopentaose is the shortest chain oligosaccharide. Maltopentaose is a substrate for α-amylases. Maltopentaose can be classified as maltodextrin and is also used in a study to investigate glycation and phosphorylation of α-lactalbumin. Maltopentaose is used to study the inhibition kinetics of human pancreatic α-amylase by dehydrodieugenol B[1][2][3].
