2.7.9.5 ATP + alpha-glucan + H2O dikinases use ATP as a dual phosphate donor and transfer the beta- and gamma-phosphate groups to two distinct acceptor molecules, a glucan and water. A conserved histidine residue within this domain is capable of accepting the beta-phosphate group of ATP following nucleotide binding and hydrolysis. The phosphoramidate bond is acid labile, but rather stable under alkaline conditions. The gamma-phosphate group is transferred to water 2.7.9.5 ATP + [phospho-alpha-glucan] the enzyme phosphorylates granular starch that has previously been phosphorylated by EC 2.7.9.4, alpha-glucan, water dikinase 2.7.9.5 ATP + [phospho-alpha-glucan] + H2O important enzymes of starch metabolism. Catalyzes the addition of phosphate groups to amylopectin chains at the surface of starch granules, changing its physicochemical properties 2.7.9.5 ATP + [phospho-alpha-glucan] + H2O the enzyme is involved in starch phosphorylation, a key step in starch degradation
