Alpha amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The structure is an 8 stranded alpha/beta barrel containing the active site, interrupted by a ~70 a.a. calcium-binding domain protruding between beta strand 3 and alpha helix 3, and a carboxyl-terminal Greek key beta-barrel domain.
This entry represents a C-terminal domain associated with prokaryotic alpha-amylases, which adopt a secondary structure consisting of an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet containing a Greek key motif. Their exact function has not, as yet, been d ...
