'''CALCIUM BINDING IN ALPHA-AMYLASES: AN X-RAY DIFFRACTION STUDY AT 2.1 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION OF TWO ENZYMES FROM ASPERGILLUS'''
===CALCIUM BINDING IN ALPHA-AMYLASES: AN X-RAY DIFFRACTION STUDY AT 2.1 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION OF TWO ENZYMES FROM ASPERGILLUS===




==Overview==
<!--  
X-ray diffraction analysis (at 2.1-A resolution) of an acid alpha-amylase from Aspergillus niger allowed a detailed description of the stereochemistry of the calcium-binding sites. The primary site (which is essential in maintaining proper folding around the active site) contains a tightly bound Ca2+ with an unusually high number of eight ligands (O delta 1 and O delta 2 of Asp175, O delta of Asn121, main-chain carbonyl oxygens of Glu162 and Glu210, and three water molecules). A secondary binding site was identified at the bottom of the substrate binding cleft; it involves the residues presumed to play a catalytic role (Asp206 and Glu230). This explains the inhibitory effect of calcium observed at higher concentrations. Neutral Aspergillus oryzae (TAKA) alpha-amylase was also refined in a new crystal at 2.1-A resolution. The structure of this homologous (over 80%) enzyme and additional kinetic studies support all the structural conclusions regarding both calcium-binding sites.
