Positioned on the C-terminal side of the β-strands of the (β/α)barrel in domain A is the active site. The catalytic residues involved for the BSTA active site are Asp234, Glu264, and Asp331. The residues are identical to other α-amylases, yet there are positional differences which reflect the flexible nature of catalytic resides.
