BACILLUS LICHENIFORMIS ALPHA-AMYLASE
Overview
BACKGROUND: The structural basis as to how metals regulate the functional, state of a protein by altering or stabilizing its conformation has been, characterized in relatively few cases because the metal-free form of the, protein is often partially disordered and unsuitable for crystallographic, analysis. This is not the case, however, for Bacillus licheniformis, alpha-amylase (BLA) for which the structure of the metal-free form is, available. BLA is a hyperthermostable enzyme which is widely used in, biotechnology, for example in the breakdown of starch or as a component of, detergents. The determination of the structure of BLA in the, metal-containing form, together with comparisons to the apo enzyme, will, help us to understand the way in which metal ions can regulate enzyme, activity. ...
