Maltose binding protein is one of the preparation and separation techniques used in biotechnology laboratories.
Maltose-binding protein ( MBP) is a part of the maltose / maltodextrin system of Escherichia coli, which is responsible for the uptake and efficient catabolism of maltodextrins. It is a complex regulatory and transport system involving many proteins and protein complexes. MBP has an approximate molecular mass of 42.5 kilodaltons .
