Maltotriose as primer

By studying the polydispersities of amyloses obtained by enzymatic polymerization with potato phosphorylase from maltooligosaccharides of various lengths, Pfannemiiller and Burchard were able to show that the reaction mechanism of the polymerization with maltotriose as primer varies from its higher homologs [45]. While the amyloses built by polymerization from maltotetraose or higher showed a Poisson distribution [46] that can be expected from a polymerization...
