α-Amylase is an enzyme classified as a hydrolase, which means it facilitates the breakdown of chemical compounds through hydrolysis reactions. Specifically, α-Amylase acts on internal α-1,4-glycosidic linkages within starch molecules, leading to the production of glucose and maltose as end products. This enzyme is utilized in the textile industry for the desizing process, where it breaks down the starch-based size applied to yarn before fabric production. α-Amylase is used in the paper industry to modify starches used in the paper coating process. In biotechnological research, α-amylase serves as a model enzyme for studying enzyme kinetics and the mechanisms of enzyme action.
