Competition between Granule Bound Starch Synthase and Starch Branching Enzyme in Starch Biosynthesis [PDF]
Rice, 2019 Background Starch branching enzymes (SBE) and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) are two important enzymes for starch biosynthesis. SBE mainly contributes to the formation of side branches, and GBSS mainly contributes for the synthesis of amylose ...
