Abstract α-Amylase (EC 3.2. 1.1) represents the best known amylolytic enzyme. It catalyzes
the hydrolysis of α-1, 4-glucosidic bonds in starch and related α-glucans. In general, the α …

Starch is an abundant, natural, renewable resource, and present as the major storage
carbohydrate in the seeds, roots, or tubers of many important food crops, such as maize …

The glycemic carbohydrates we consume are currently viewed in an unfavorable light in
both the consumer and medical research worlds. In significant part, these carbohydrates …

Branching enzyme (EC 2.4. 1.18; glycogen branching enzyme; GBE) catalyzes the formation
of α1, 6-branching points in glycogen. Until recently it was believed that all GBEs belong to …

Alpha amylases catalyse the hydrolysis of α-1, 4-glycosidic bonds in starch, yielding
glucose, maltose, dextrin, and short oligosaccharides, vital to various industrial processes …

Branching enzyme (BE) catalyzes formation of the branch points in glycogen and
amylopectin by cleavage of the α-1, 4 linkage and its subsequent transfer to the α-1, 6 …

The CAZy database is a web-server for sequence-based classification of carbohydrate-
active enzymes that has become the worldwide and indispensable tool for scientists …

Vibrio proteolyticus chitobiose phosphorylase (ChBP) belongs to glycosyl transferase family
36 (GT-36), and catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of chitobiose into α-GlcNAc-1 …

ABSTRACT Amylomaltases are 4-α-glucanotransferases (EC 2.4. 1.25) of glycoside
hydrolase family 77 that transfer α-1, 4-linked glucans to another acceptor, which can be the …

Fifty‐nine amino acid sequences belonging to family 57 (GH‐57) of the glycoside
hydrolases were collected using the CAZy server, Pfam database and blast tools. Owing to …
