title: Measurement of cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase activity by high-performance liquid chromatography using a fluorogenic substrate.
abstract: A mixture of p-nitrophenyl O-6-deoxy-6-[(2-pyridyl)amino]-alpha-D- glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D- glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D- glucopyranoside (FG5P) and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucoside (GP) was incubated with cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19]. Analysis of the digest by HPLC showed that the products were p-nitrophenyl O-6-deoxy-6-[(2-pyridyl)amino]-alpha-D- glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-alpha-D- glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (FG4P) and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-maltoside (G2P), and no other product could be detected. Based on the reaction, a sensitive method to assay for CGTase was developed.
