1ESW - PubMed Abstract: 
As a member of the alpha-amylase superfamily of enzymes, amylomaltase catalyzes either the transglycosylation from one alpha-1,4 glucan to another or an intramolecular cyclization. The latter reaction is typical for cyclodextrin glucanotransferases. In contrast to these enzymes, amylomaltase catalyzes the formation of cyclic glucans with a degree of polymerization larger than 22 ...
