BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Neopullulanase catalyzes both hydrolysis and transglycosylation at alpha-(1—-4)-and alpha-(1—-6)-glucosidic linkages.

Detailed explanation-2: -The -amylases cannot hydrolyze -1, 6 glycosidic bonds, 13) thus -1, 6 glucan is decomposed by mucosal enzymes. Maltase and isomaltase have high -1, 6 glycosidic bond hydrolysis activity compared to the two other mucosal enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amylases are starch-degrading enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of internal -1-4 glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides to form simpler sugar constitutes and limit dextrins. They are widely distributed in the microbial, plant, and animal kingdoms.

Detailed explanation-4: --Amylase is the enzyme that causes the degradation of starch molecules and hydrolyzes them into small-chain dextrins by acting upon the -1, 4 glycosidic bonds present in the starch polysaccharide.

Detailed explanation-5: -amylase, any member of a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis (splitting of a compound by addition of a water molecule) of starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose (a molecule composed of two glucose molecules).
