Maltoheptaose(CAT: R046066) is a linear oligosaccharide composed of seven glucose units linked by α-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is derived from the partial hydrolysis of starch and serves as a substrate for studying enzymes like amylases and glucosidases, which break down complex carbohydrates. Maltoheptaose is commonly used in biochemical research to investigate carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme specificity, and substrate recognition. Additionally, it plays a role in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a carbohydrate source and in controlled drug delivery systems. Its well-defined structure makes it a valuable tool in glycobiology and enzyme research.
