Alpha-amylase E.C.3.2.1.1. (1,4 glucan, 4 glucanohydrolase) can be obtained
from salivary glands, pancreas and microorganisms such as Pseudomonas
and Asperigllus, as well as muscles and ovarian tubes.1.2 Alpha-amylase from
Bacillus Subtilis #1024(A TCC 465)* was purified with a highest degree of purity
in our laboratory (31.59 U/mg).
The extracellular alpha-amylase was subjected to different purification
techniques such as anionic and cationic exchange chromatography and preparative
electrophoresis.
The final fold of purification was equivalent to 38, which was higher than the
previous reported values, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl
sulphate (PAGESDS), Laemmeli method, gave a molecular weight of 82000
Daltons.
