Polysaccharides 207-221 alpha-amylase Thermotoga maritima MSB8 132-145 31190240-2 2019 However, the alpha-amylase specificity of AmyC is questionable as extensive phylogenetic analysis of GH57 and tertiary structural comparison suggest that AmyC could actually be a glycogen-branching enzyme (GBE), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of glycogen. Glycogen 179-187 alpha-amylase Thermotoga maritima MSB8 13-26 31190240-3 2019 This communication presents phylogenetic and biochemical evidence that AmyC is a GBE with a relatively high hydrolytic (alpha-amylase) activity (up to 30% of the total activity), creating a branched alpha-glucan with 8.5% alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds. alpha-glucan 199-211 alpha-amylase Thermotoga maritima MSB8 120-133
