                3.2.1.2 beta-amylase
IUBMB Comments
Acts on starch, glycogen and related polysaccharides and oligosaccharides producing beta-maltose by an inversion. The term 'beta'' relates to the initial anomeric configuration of the free sugar group released and not to the configuration of the linkage hydrolysed.
