'''Maltose-binding protein''' (MBP) or '''ABC maltose transporter''' is part of the maltose/maltodextrin system in ''E. coli'' which is responsible of the catabolism of maltodextrin. MBP binds maltodextrin when the latter diffuses into the periplasm and passes it to proteins involved in active transport<ref>PMID:10452611</ref>. | '''Maltose-binding protein''' (MBP) or '''ABC maltose transporter''' is part of the maltose/maltodextrin system in ''E. coli'' which is responsible of the catabolism of maltodextrin.
