In the [[isomer]] [[isomaltose]], the two glucose molecules are joined with an α(1→6) bond. Maltose is the two-unit member of the [[amylose]] [[homologous series]], the key structural motif of [[starch]]. When [[beta-amylase]] breaks down starch, it removes two glucose units at a time, producing maltose. An example of this reaction is found in [[germination|germinating]] seeds, which is why it was named after [[malt]]. Unlike [[sucrose]], it is a [[reducing sugar]].</div>
