Studies on an animal .ALPHA.-amylase inhibitor (Haim) from Streptomyces griseosporeus YM-25. Part II. Purification and characterization of an .ALPHA.-amylase inhibitor (Haim) produced by Streptomyces griseosporeus YM-25.

Purification and properties of phaseolamin, an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, from the kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris.

Kidney beans, Phaseolus vulgaris, contain a proteinaceous inhibitor of alpha-amylase, which we have named phaseolamin. The inhibitor has been purified to homogeneity by conventional protein fractionation methods involving heat treatment, dialysis, and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-100, and CM-cellulose. Phaseolamin is specific for animal alpha-amylases, having no activity towards...

Characterization of Alpha-amylase inhibitor in Vigna sublobata

Alpha-amylase inhibitor protein, which inhibits the activity of insect (Callosobruchus analis) α-amylase, was characterized from V. sublobata. The molecular weight of purified inhibitor protein was 14 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The inhibitor is non-glycosylated protein and its N-terminal sequence is similar (A P S P V...) to Phaseolus vulgaris α-AI-1. Its pI value is 6.0 and largely localised in cotyledo...

Production, purification, and characterization of alpha-amylase from Thermomonospora curvata.

Thermomonospora curvata produces an extracellular alpha-amylase. Maximal amylase production by cultures in a starch-mineral salts medium occurred at pH 7.5 and 53 degrees C. The crude enzyme was unstable to heating (65 degrees C) at pH 4 to 6, and was activated when heated at pH 8. The enzyme was purified 66-fold with a 9% yield and appeared homogeneous on discontinuous gel electrophoresis. The...

Purification of alpha amylase pdf

A novel alpha-amylase inhibitor from amaranth (Amaranthus hypocondriacus) seeds.

The major alpha-amylase inhibitor (AAI) present in the seeds of Amaranthus hypocondriacus, a variety of the Mexican crop plant amaranth, is a 32-residue-long polypeptide with three disulfide bridges. Purified AAI strongly inhibits the alpha-amylase activity of insect larvae (Tribolium castaneum and Prostephanus truncatus) and does not inhibit proteases and mammalian alpha-amylases. AAI was sequ...
