Abstract excerpt
Porcine and human pancreatic alpha-amylases (PPA and HPA, respectively) have five binding sites for hexose residues of substrates. As previously reported, when a substrate is too small to occupy subsite 5 of the alpha-amylases, the optimum pH for catalytic activity changes from neutral to acidic [Ishikawa, K., Matsui, I., Honda, K., & Nakatani, H. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 7119-7123]. We studied the mechanism by...
