Native Bacterial Environmental DNA Glucan elongation enzyme

A thermostable 4-α-glucanotransferase that elongates linear alpha-glucan chains in starch and amylose by catalyzing the transfer of one glucose unit from the non-reducing end to a new position in an acceptor, which may be triose or larger. The enzyme can be used various applications, such as for modifications of alpha-polysaccharides and is ideal for making clear size ladders of oligosaccharides larger than maltose. The enzyme was developed from metagenome DNA obtained from environmental sample from a geothermal environment.
