Alpha amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The structure is an 8 stranded alpha/beta barrel containing the active site, interrupted by a ~70 a.a. calcium-binding domain protruding between beta strand 3 and alpha helix 3, and a carboxyl-terminal Greek key beta-barrel domain.
This domain is found at the C-terminal of various fungal alpha-amylase proteins [1]. It has been identified as a secondary binding site, which might be part of a starch interaction site [2]. It has a beta- sandwich fold comprising an antiparallel bet ...
This domain is found at the C-terminal of various fungal alpha-amylase proteins [1]. It has been identified as a secondary binding site, which might be part of a starch interaction site [2]. It has a beta- sandwich fold comprising an antiparallel beta-sheet with eight strands [2,3].
