Popis: 1. 1. The action pattern of bovine pancreatic amylase on amylose has been investigated, and compared with that of porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase. 2. 2. The form of the iodine stain/reducing power relation was dependent on pH for both enzymes. 3. 3. The oligosaccharides present at the achroic point differed in composition and in amount with pH for both enzymes. 4. 4. The results are consistent with the bovine enzyme acting by a multiple attack mechanism up to pH 9.5 and by a multi-chain action pattern at higher pH values, in the same way as does porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase. 5. 5. The electrophoretic behaviour of the bovine pancreatic amylase showed it to be quite distinct from the starch-degrading enzymes found in bovine serum.
