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 end of Alpha-amylase from Thermotoga neapolitana (AmyB), which belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13) and liberates maltose from multiple substrates, including starch, amylopectin and glycogen [1]. This ...
