“what are the roles of a-amylase and amyloglucosidase (AMG) to convert starch into D-glucose?”
Answers
Answer:
Amylase, any member of a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis (splitting of a compound by addition of a water molecule) of starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose (a molecule composed of two glucose molecu
Answer:
AMYLASE :)
Amylases' main function is to hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds in starch molecules, converting complex carbohydrates to simple sugars. There are three main classes of amylase enzymes; Alpha-, beta- and gamma-amylase, and each act on different parts of the carbohydrate molecule
AMYLOGLUCOSIDASE :)
AMG (also known as amyloglucosidase or glucoamylase) is an enzyme which removes glucose units from liquefied starch in a stepwise manner, producing glucose. AMG is obtained from a selected strain of the fungus Aspergillus niger. AMG is used in the production of glucose syrups from starch or dextrins.
