The Digestible and Resistant Starch Assay Kit (K-DSTRS) for the determination of digestible, resistant and total starch in starch samples, plant and other materials.
This method is based on the research of Englyst et al. (Ref) with some modifications. Digestion is performed using saturating levels of pancreatic α-amylase (PAA) and amyloglucosidase (AMG), but in stirred containers rather than shaken tubes, to simplify sample removal.
In line with Englyst definitions:
Rapidly digestible starch (RDS) is that starch which is digested within 20 min.
Slowly digestible starch (SDS) is that starch which is digested between 20 and 120 min.
A new term, ‘Total digestible starch (TDS)’ is introduced (and measured) to cover all starch that is digested within 4 h (the average time of residence of food in the human small intestine).
Resistant starch (RS) then, is that starch which is not digested within 4 h.
The incubation conditions parallel those used in AOAC Method 2017.16, a new, rapid integrated procedure for the measurement of total dietary fiber (Megazyme method K-RINTDF). This method is physiologically based and designed to fit the definition of DF announced by Codex Alimentarius in 2009.

Interested in the analysis of DNA or RNA modifications? Then this DNA polymerase could simplify your site-specific analysis of such modifications. The 2′-O-Me sensitive DNA polymerase was engineered to catalyse DNA synthesis from both DNA and RNA and to quantify 2′-O-methylation of nucleotides site-specifically from RNA by real-time PCR. For further information refer to the original publication.

The 2′-O-Me sensitive DNA polymerase is supplied as a 5 µM solution containing glycerol and is supplied together with 10x reaction buffer.
The enzyme can also be used for real-time cycling, when adding a suitable dye.
