Homology model of starch synthases
The FASEB Journal, 2006 Starch synthases are enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of starch in plants using ADP‐glucose as the donor to form α‐1,4‐glucosidic bonds. Despite the importance of these enzymes, no information about their three‐dimensional structure is available.

It takes two to tango: a new partner in amylose synthesis.
PLoS Biology, 2015 The mechanism by which plants make starch-a vital foodstuff for billions of humans-is poorly understood, with a clear role for just one enzyme, granular binding starch synthase. A new study identifies a protein needed to recruit this enzyme to the starch

New starch phenotypes produced by TILLING in barley.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Barley grain starch is formed by amylose and amylopectin in a 1:3 ratio, and is packed into granules of different dimensions. The distribution of granule dimension is bimodal, with a majority of small spherical B-granules and a smaller amount of large ...

Functional demonstrations of starch binding domains present in Ostreococcus tauri starch synthases isoforms [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2015 Los dominios de unión al almidón son módulos clave presentes en varias enzimas involucradas en el metabolismo de los polisacáridos. Estos módulos no catalíticos ya se han descrito como esenciales para la unión al almidón y la actividad catalítica de la almidón sintasa III de la planta superior Arabidopsis thaliana.

Granule-bound starch synthase I in isolated starch granules elongates malto-oligosaccharides processively [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1999 Isoforms of starch synthase belonging to the granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) class synthesize the amylose component of starch in plants. Other granule-bound isoforms of starch synthase, such as starch synthase II (SSII), are unable to synthesize amylose.

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...
