Comparison and Analysis of Acid-Stable and Acid-Unstable α-Amylases from Aspergillus niger with Computer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aspergillus niger can produce an acid-stable α-amylase as well as an acid-unstable one, the relation between the structural differences and their acid-resistant capability is of great interest. In this paper, the primary parameters, secondary and tertiary structures of these two types of α-amylases was analyzed and compared, the results shows that they has 67% sequence identity and high homology in secondary and tertiary structure. The acid-stable α-amylase has lower isoelectric point and higher molar percent of acidic amino acid than the acid-unstable one. The four major structural differences of these two types of enzymes is located at residues 132-138, 206-212, 329-335 and 378-382 and formed vary fold pattern.
