- In
human physiology, both the
salivary and
pancreatic amylases are α-
amylases. The α-
amylase form is also
found in plants,
fungi (ascomycetes and basidiomycetes)...
- α-
amylases contain a β-sheet domain,
usually at the C terminus. This
domain is
organised as a five-stranded
antiparallel β-sheet.
Several α-
amylases contain...
