“…As shown, there is one major and two minor degradation pathways for wheat phytase: the major pathway proceeds via d-I(1,2,3,5,6)P 5 , d-I(1,2,3,6)P 4 , and d-I(1,2,5,6)P 4 , I(1,2,3)P 3 -d-I(1,2,6)P 3 , d/l-I(1,2)P 2 , and finally into I(2)P 1 and d/l-I(1)P 1 . This pathway of degradation is consistent with published results (Chen and Li, 2003;Nakano et al, 2000). One minor route proceeds via d/l-I(1,2,4,5,6)P 5, d/l-I(1,2,5,6)P 4 , d/l-I(1,2,6)P 3 , d/l-I(1,2)P 2 , I(2)P 1 , and then to d/l-I(1)P 1 , similar to our previous study (Wu et al, 2015).…”
