Figure 2: Proposed model of the events taking place in the CGTase-catalyzed reactions. (1) Disproportionation, (2) Coupling, (3) Cyclization. The different CGTase domains are indicated (A, B, C, D, and E). 1 and 2 indicate the maltose binding sites on the E-domain. The triangle indicates the cleavage site in the active site. Circles represent glucose residues; acceptor residues are represented in black.
