Figure 1.
Figure 1 AmyC shows the characteristics of a functional amylase.
(a) A Lineweaver-Burk diagram showing the kinetics of the
hydrolysis of starch by AmyC allows the calculation of a K[m]
value of 1.1 mg ml-1 and a V[max] of 1.3 U mg-1. (b) AmyC
activity is inhibited by the classical amylase inhibitor
acarbose. The activity of Amy C is reduced to 25 or 20% using a
31-fold or 77-fold excess of acarbose, respectively.
