An. Shevelkova et Ap. Sinitsyn, A STUDY OF THE SYNERGISTIC ACTION ALPHA-AMYLASE AND GLUCOAMYLASE ON SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE AMYLOSE, Biochemistry, 58(10), 1993, pp. 1134-1138
The synergistic effect in the combined action of a-amylase and glucoam
ylase on soluble and insoluble amylose has been investigated. Qualitat
ive aspects of this phenomenon were shown to depend on a number factor
s, including the composition of the reaction mixture, reaction duratio
n, degree of substrate polymerization, initial substrate concentration
, as well as the mechanism of alpha-amylase action. An explanation is
given for these effects.
