DEFINITION

Classification: 435/204

Alpha-amylase, plant source (3.2.1.1):

(under subclass 201) Subject matter wherein the source of alpha-1, 4-glucan-4- glucanohydrolase is a nonmicrobial plant.

(1) Note. An alpha-1, 4-glucan-4- glucohydrolace is an enzyme that catalyzes in a random fashion the hydrolysis of the alpha-1, 4-glucan bonds in carbohyrates that contain three or more alpha-1, 4-linked-D- glucose units and does not hydrolyze alpha-1, 6-bonds connecting D-glucose units.

(2) Note. In the absence of a clear showing to the contrary, a recitation of amylase is presumptively alpha-amylase.

205, for hydrolases capable of hydrolyzing both alpha-1,4 and and alpha-1,6 glucan bonds.
