“…With regard to the CAZy database ( [1]; http://www.cazy.org/ accessed on 14 October 2023) classifying carbohydrate-active enzymes into their sequence-based families, and based on the obtained knowledge, it is reasonable to consider that α-amylase enzyme specificity is present in four CAZy glycoside hydrolase (GH) families: GH13, GH57, GH119, and GH126 [2]. In other words, currently, of the 186 GH families in total [1], 4 may be considered α-amylase families [2]: (i) GH13-the main and the largest α-amylase family; (ii) GH57-the second and smaller α-amylase family; (iii) GH119-a very small family related to GH57; and (iv) GH126, in which the presence of pure α-amylase specificity has still not been proven definitively. Particularly, the two former α-amylase families, GH13 and GH57, cover, in addition to α-amylase, most of the numerous amylolytic enzymes, such as α-glucosidase, pullulanase, amylopullulanase, isoamylase, cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, 4-α-glucanotransferase, α-glucan branching enzyme, α-glucan debranching enzyme, trehalose synthase, sucrose isomerase, etc.…”
