Propositions associated with the PhD thesis
The versatile activity of glycogen branching enzymes
by A.L.O. Gaenssle1. The iodine assay is a suitable method for detecting the activity of amylolytic enzymes (this thesis).
2. The digestibility of starches is highly correlated with their amylopectin fine structure (this thesis).
3. The structure of products obtained after modification of α-glucans with glycogen branching enzyme are primarily governed by the enzyme type (this thesis).
4. Glycogen branching enzymes from the glycoside hydrolase family GH13 can conduct α-1,4- transglycosylation activity (this thesis).
5. The mode of action of glycogen branching enzymes can vary substantially, not only between each other but also over time (this thesis).
6. Programming is highly useful for automating the processing of large amounts of data. It not only tremendously speeds up the procedure but also prevents making mistakes.
7. In research, perseverance is the key to success. Sometimes, one has to try many different conditions for achieving a good protein expression. 8. Tables are usually the best way to store information as they simplify
