We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

2taa is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Aspergillus oryzae. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1taa. The February 2006 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Alpha-amylase by David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2006_2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
A complete molecular model of Taka-amylase A consisting of 478 amino acid residues was built with the aid of amino acid sequence data. Some typical structural features of the molecule are described. A model fitting of an amylose chain in the catalytic site of the enzyme showed a possible productive binding mode between substrate and enzyme. On the basis of the difference Fourier analysis and the model fitting study, glutamic acid (Glu230) and aspartic acid (Asp297), which are located at the bottom of the cleft, were concluded to be the catalytic residues, serving as the general acid and base, respectively.
