Studies on the Substrate Specificity of Taka-amylase A

Abstract
The synthesis of phenyl 6-fluoro-6-deoxy-α-maltoside is described. The compound was found to be much less susceptible to Taka-amylase A [EC 3. 2. 1. 1] than phenyl α-maltoside. This indicates that the hydroxyl group at position-6 of phenyl α-maltoside is important for the enzymatic reaction.
