Isoamylase (EC 3.2.1.68) is one of the starch-debranching enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages specific in alpha-glucans such as amylopectin or glycogen and their beta-limit dextrins. (unl.edu)
The majority of the enzymes have an active site cleft found between domains A and B where a triad of catalytic residues (Asp, Glu and Asp) performs catalysis. (unl.edu)
These enzymes do not have the conserved calcium ion present in other alpha amylase family enzymes. (unl.edu)
Saliva also contains enzymes such as amylase, which initiates the breakdown of starches and glycogen into simpler sugars like glucose and maltose. (physics-network.org)
Enzymes are responsible for every activity of life including proteases (aid in digesting protein), amylases (aid in digesting carbohydrates), and lipases (aid in digesting fats) which are digestive enzymes, which function as the biological catalyst to breaking down food. (tlsslim.com)
Amylases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates so the body can more easily absorb them. (tlsslim.com)
Enzyme11
Beta-amylase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes 1,4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in starch-type polysaccharide substrates so as to remove successive maltose units from the non-reducing ends of the chains. (wikipedia.org)
The enzyme folds into large and small domains: the large domain has a (beta alpha)8 super-secondary structural core, while the smaller is formed from two long loops extending from the beta-3 and beta-4 strands of the (beta alpha)8 fold. (wikipedia.org)
Alpha-amylase is the second enzyme that is used for starch conversion. (beerdelux.com)

Alpha-amylase is an essential enzyme in alpha-glucan metabolism, acting to catalyse the hydrolysis of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds of glycogen, starch and related polysaccharides. (embl.de)
Amylases have at least one conserved calcium-binding site, as calcium is essential for the stability of the enzyme. (embl.de)
The chloride-binding functions to activate the enzyme, which acts by a two-step mechanism involving a catalytic nucleophile base (usually an Asp) and a catalytic proton donor (usually a Glu) that are responsible for the formation of the beta-linked glycosyl-enzyme intermediate. (embl.de)

amylase removes two glucose residues at a time, leaving the starch chain shorter. (nih.gov)
Glycogen4
Interestingly, propranolol also phosphorylated Akt in SAMP8 mice, which was associated with an increase of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta phosphorylation, contributing therefore to the reductions in Tau hyperphosphorylation. (interleukinreceptor.com)
When phosphorylase has digested a glycogen branch down to four glucose residues, it will not remove further residues. (wikidoc.org)
because 1 in 10 residues is branched, cleavage by phosphorylase alone would not be sufficient in mobilizing glycogen stores. (wikidoc.org)
4-α-D-glucanotransferase ( EC 2.4.1.25 ), or glucosyltransferase , transfers three glucose residues from the four-residue glycogen branch to a nearby branch. (wikidoc.org)
Catalytic domain found1
Alpha amylase catalytic domain found in sucrose phosphorylase (also called sucrose glucosyltransferase, disaccharide glucosyltransferase, and sucrose-phosphate alpha-D glucosyltransferase). (unl.edu)
Removes two glucose1
In general, beta-amylase removes two glucose units at a time. (pediaa.com)
The 3D structure of a complex of soybean beta-amylase with an inhibitor (alpha-cyclodextrin) has been determined to 3.0A resolution by X-ray diffraction. (wikipedia.org)
The interface of the two domains, together with shorter loops from the (beta alpha)8 core, form a deep cleft, in which the inhibitor binds. (wikipedia.org)
4-alpha-D-glucanotransferase catalyzes the endohydrolysis of 1,6-alpha-D-glucoside linkages at points of branching in chains of 1,4-linked alpha-D-glucose residues. (unl.edu)
In prolonged fasting, the brain derives a large portion of its oxidative energy from the ketone bodies, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate, thereby reducing whole body glucose consumption. (hypothes.is)

Temperature2
The optimal temperature range of alpha-amylase is around 155-162 °F (68-72 °C), although it is still active to a lesser degree at lower temperatures. (beerdelux.com)
Enzymesare heat sensitive and active/inactive within different temperature ranges, with the 63.5 degrees centigrade a compromise temperature that enables the alpha amylase and beta amylase performs better at a higher temperature while beta amylase prefers is cooler. (highland-gathering.com)

Alpha-amylase is usually used in conjunction with beta-amylase to produce moderate to full-bodied beers. (beerdelux.com)
The basic idea is that the "random" action of alpha amylase opens up new ends for beta-amylase to work on. (beerdelux.com)
Alpha-amylase is less active and less stable in worts with low levels of calcium ions. (beerdelux.com)
Alpha-amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases and is present in archaea, bacteria, plants and animals. (embl.de)
