Degradation profile of the RG chain. Profiles of the RG chain with
YesW (A) YesX (C) and YesX del_loop mutant (B) were
periodically analyzed by size exclusion chromatography. The reaction times
were 0, 5, 15, 30, and 60 min. Product from RG chain without added enzyme was
used as the negative control. All of the profiles are overlaid, and the peaks
of tetrasaccharide and disaccharide are indicated by solid and
dashed lines, respectively.
