Modified oligosaccharides used as substrate for measuring alpha-amylase activity

摘要

A modified oligosaccharide having at most 7 glucose units and having a substituent selected from the group consisting of 2-aminopyridyl, 3-aminopyridyl, aniiino, methylanilino, hydroxyanilino, carboxyphenylamino and hydroxyl groups at at least one end moiety of said oligosaccharide is suitable as substrate for measuring a-amylase activity or for measuring a-amylase isozymes.
