Amylase is a enzyme.And composed of proteins
Does amylase have proteins?
Amylase is an enzyme which is chemically proteins. The function is to catalyses the conversion of starch in to sugars. There are different kind of amylases such as alpha-, beta amylase exist.
Does carbohydrate belong to amylase?

Is salivary amylase mechanical or chemical digestion?
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
Which enzyme is found in mouth?
salivary amylase
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
What is proteins enzyme?
All enzymes are chemically proteins. but not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymatic proteins catalyse the biochemical conversion of substrate in to product. Good example is amylase that digest starch or glycogen to produce glucose.
