title: Repetitive attack by Aspergillus oryzae alpha amylase.
abstract: The action of Aspergillus oryzae alpha amylase on reducing-end, and uniformly radiolabeled maltotriose through maltodecaose has been studied. The enzyme is found to hydrolyze more than a single glycosidic bond during enzyme-substrate encounters. The extent of this repetitive attack is quantitated.
