Description générale

α-Amylase (1,4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase), an endo-acting glucanase, is a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13).
α-Amylase, an extracellular enzyme, is present in many animals and plants, and also in microorganisms, such as different Bacillus species.

Application

α-Amylase from Bacillus sp. has been used:

  • as a component of salivary fluid to perform artificial mastication; in luminal gastrointestinal digestion experiment
  • as a standard in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to determine the concentration of α-Amylase
  • to de-starch the alcohol insoluble residue (AIR) for non-cellulosic neutral monosaccharide analysis

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

α-Amylase degrades starch into oligosaccharides such as maltose, and glucose and alpha limit dextrin. It hydrolyzes the α-(1→4) glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides of three or more α-(1→4) linked D-glucose units, without hydrolyzing the α-(1→6) bond. It participates in glucose production and is essential for energy acquisition. α-Amylases are widely known industrial enzymes used in the food, detergent, textile, fermentation, and pharmaceutical industries.

Caractéristiques et avantages

  • α-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis NCIB 6346 retains over 98% of its activity after 60 minutes at pH 6.2 and 85°C.
  • Other α-Amylase maintain 100% of their activity after storage for 1 hour at 91°C.

Maintains >98% of activity after 60 minutes at pH 6.2 at 85 °C.

Définition de l'unité

1 U setzt 1.0 mg Maltose aus Stärke in 3 Minuten frei bei pH 6.9 und 20 °C.

Notes préparatoires
