Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
What happens after the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule?

How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.
