alpha-Amylases and approaches leading to their enhanced stability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent state of the knowledge of properties and structure of alpha-amylases is reviewed with the aim of elucidation the basis for their stabilization. Three principal ways for obtaining stable alpha-amylases (isolation of enzymes from extremophiles, production of extremophilic enzymes in mesophiles, and modification of mesophilic enzymes) are discussed separately. Detailed experimental examples are given for modification approaches.

Alpha-amylases are the most important amylases used in industry. Among them, thermophilic alpha-amylases are of particular importance, which is due to their activity and stability in high temperatures. These enzymes produced by thermophile micro-organisms including bacteria. These thermophilic alpha-amylases are used in various industries such as processing of starch as well as production of de...

Alpha-amylase is widely used as an industrial enzyme, and a therapeutic target for which inhibitors are designed. Organic solvents are used to dissolve various compounds that would be studied as moderators of alpha-amylases, but they could themselves affect enzyme activity and stability. Methanol, ethanol and propanol are simple alcohols that may be commonly used to this end, and their effect h...
متن کاملActivity-stability relationships in extremophilic enzymes.
Psychrophilic, mesophilic, and thermophilic alpha-amylases have been studied as regards their conformational stability, heat inactivation, irreversible unfolding, activation parameters of the reaction, properties of the enzyme in complex with a transition state analog, and structural permeability. These data allowed us to propose an energy landscape for a family of extremophilic enzymes based o...

Investigators are agreed (Kneen and Sandstedt, 1946; Myrback and Neumuiller, 1950) that bacterial amylases, except crystalline preparations (Meyer et al., 1947; Bernfeld, 1951), possess a greater thermostability than other alpha-amylases. Although many investigators have studied the heat stability of amylases from various sources, no study has been published comparing the thermal resistance of ...
متن کاملTemperature adaptations in psychrophilic, mesophilic and thermophilic chloride-dependent alpha-amylases.
The functional and structural adaptations to temperature have been addressed in homologous chloride-dependent α-amylases from a psychrophilic Antarctic bacterium, the ectothermic fruit fly, the homeothermic pig and from a thermophilic actinomycete. This series covers nearly all temperatures encountered by living organisms. We report a striking continuum in the functional properties of these enz...
