TLDR
The purified enzyme encoded by pIJ322 was capable of hydrolyzing pullulan and cyclodextrin as well as starch and degraded soluble starch by cleaving maltose units preferentially but did not attack alpha-1,6-linkage.About:

Properties and applications of starch-converting enzymes of the α-amylase family
Marc J. E. C. van der Maarel,Bart A. van der Veen,Joost C.M. Uitdehaag,Hans Leemhuis,Lubbert Dijkhuizen +4 more
TL;DR: The alpha-amylase family of glycosyl hydrolases as discussed by the authors is one of the most common types of enzymes used in industrial applications and has a (beta/alpha) 8-barrel structure with conserved amino acid residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of sequence and structure to specificity in the alpha-amylase family of enzymes.
TL;DR: The sequence- Specificity and structure-specificity relationships described may provide useful pointers for rational protein engineering.

TL;DR: From the further analysis of the genome sequence, conserved regulatory DNA motives, the occurrence of the glyoxylate bypass and the presence of anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase explaining that B. licheniformis is able to grow on acetate and 2,3-butanediol as well as anaerobically on glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Starch- and glycogen-debranching and branching enzymes: prediction of structural features of the catalytic (beta/alpha)8-barrel domain and evolutionary relationship to other amylolytic enzymes.
TL;DR: Activity and specificity of the enzymes are discussed in terms of conserved amino acid residues and loop variations, and an evolutionary distance tree of 47 amylolytic and related enzymes is built on 37 residues representing the four best conserved β-strands of the barrel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure specificity and function of cyclomaltodextrinase, a multispecific enzyme of the α-amylase family
TL;DR: The present review discusses the multiple specificity in the light of the oligomerization and the molecular structures arriving at a clarified enzyme classification and a physiological role of the enzymes is proposed.

Fate of transforming DNA following uptake by competent Bacillus subtilis. I. Formation and properties of the donor-recipient complex.
TL;DR: The recovery of donor transforming activity following eclipse, and the appearance of recombinant activity, previously reported by Venema, Pritchard & Venema-Schroder (1965) , is shown to be due to changes occurring in the donor—recipient complex.
