Influence of the Extent of Hydrolysis upon the Determination of the Initial Velocity of α-Amylase Action¹

Action patterns of some alpha-type amylases

“…duced in greater quantity than the latter. 6. It was determined that B. subtilis amylase hydrolyzed amylose sixty times faster than maltohexaose, forty times faster than maltodecaose, three times faster than gly cogen, and two times faster than amylopectin.…”

“…o<-Amylases are among the earliest known enzymes and were used in some of the first studies on enzyme kinetics (1,2)" 1 There have been a considerable number of publications devoted to their study. Many of these studies have employed a classi cal kinetic approach (3)(4)(5)(6). This approach usually entails:…”
