using starch affinity chromatography. Two isoenzymes (GA1 and GA2) were identified by
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) zymography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-
PAGE analysis revealed that one of the enzymes consist of one subunit and the other, two
subunits. The optimum pH of the purified GA was 6.0 and the optimum temperature was 60
C. GA was found to be stable at temperatures up to 50 C and at a pH range between 3.0 and …
