摘要
The use of modified starch substrates for the measurement of α-amylase activity is described. In the presence of excess glucoamylase, the amount of glucose released from substrates containing blockages to exo-enzyme action is proportional to the amount of α-amylase present. The levels of α-amylase in a number of commercial glucoamylase preparations have been determined by this method. The importance of α-amylase in achieving efficient conversion of starch into glucose is illustrated by a comparison of the time courses of degradation of amylopectin by glucoamylase preparations containing low and high levels of α-amylase. © 1978.
