title: Maltokinase (ATP:maltose 1-phosphotransferase) from Actinoplanes sp.: demonstration of enzyme activity and characterization of the reaction product.
abstract: Cell free extract of the acarbose producer Actinoplanes sp. catalyzes ATP-dependent phosphorylation of maltose. This was shown by two different assays. The product was purified and its structure determined to be alpha-maltose-1-phosphate by chemical analysis and NMR spectroscopy.
