O peso molecular da α-amilase varia de 10 a 210 KDa, dependendo da sua
origem. As α-amilases microbianas apresentam peso molecular entre 50 e 60 KDa
(GUPTA et al, 2003), sendo que as α-amilases bacterianas apresentam variação de
28 a 78 KDa e as α-amilases fúngicas (41 a 69 KDa) de acordo com os resultados
de diferentes autores citados por PANDEY et al (2005).

What happens to starch at the molecular level when it is acted upon by amylase?
the amylase degrades the starch
What enzyme digests amylase?
Amylase helps the body digesting starch. Different types of amylase (alpha, beta...) can split different types of starch into sugar units.
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
What does amylase enzyme digest?
Amylase helps the body digesting starch. Different types of amylase (alpha, beta...) can split different types of starch into sugar units.
Does amylase contain both an alpha helix and a beta pleated sheets?
yes
Is ptylin an alpha amylase or beta amylase?
Ptyalin is an alpha-amylase. It is the alpha-amylase found in saliva
What type of compound and bond is hydrolized by the alpha amylase?
Alpha bonds are hydrolised by alpha amylase. The alpha amylase is the sole form of amylase found in all mammals.
How does saliva alpha amylase work?
Amylase is an enzyme that induces hydrolysis of starches, breaking them down into sugar. Saliva alpha amylase is simply a type of amylase.
What happens to starch at the molecular level when it is acted upon by amylase?
the amylase degrades the starch
What is the key enzyme in digestion of polysaccharides?
alpha-amylase
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.
What enzyme digests amylase?
Amylase helps the body digesting starch. Different types of amylase (alpha, beta...) can split different types of starch into sugar units.
What is the product of the reaction when alpha-amylase acts on amylose?
maltose and glucose
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
Difference between fungal alpha amylase and beta amylase?
beta hydrolyses the endings of amylopectine or starch to give maltose units, and alpha hydrolyses anywhere in the starch molecule to give 2 polysaccharides
What does amylase enzyme digest?
Amylase helps the body digesting starch. Different types of amylase (alpha, beta...) can split different types of starch into sugar units.
Does amylase contain both an alpha helix and a beta pleated sheets?
yes
