How does NaCl affect the rate at which amylase hydrolyse starch?

NaCl can inhibit the activity of amylase by disrupting the enzyme's structure and altering its ability to bind to starch molecules. At high concentrations, NaCl can denature the enzyme, reducing its catalytic efficiency and slowing down the rate of starch hydrolysis.

Who secrets amylase?

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain much starch but little sugar, such as rice and potato, taste slightly sweet as they are chewed because amylase turns some of their starch into sugar in the mouth. Thepancreas also makes amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase. As diastase, amylase was the first enzyme to be discovered and isolated (by Anselme Payen in 1833).[1]


Describe the action of salivary amylase?

Salivary amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates in food by breaking down starch into smaller sugars like maltose. It works best in a slightly acidic environment (pH 6.7-7.4). The enzyme continues to work in the mouth and is eventually inactivated by the acidic environment of the stomach.

Why is starch phosphorylase not involved in vivo starch anabolism?

Starch phosphorylase is primarily involved in starch degradation by catalyzing the conversion of starch to glucose. In vivo starch anabolism involves the synthesis of starch molecules from glucose, which is carried out by enzymes like starch synthase and starch branching enzyme. Therefore, starch phosphorylase is not directly involved in the biosynthesis of starch in living systems.
