Human Amylase: Structure, Bonding, Function & Biological Role

This report provides a detailed overview of the structure and biological role of human amylase protein. Amylase, an enzyme crucial for starch hydrolysis, is examined at its primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structural levels. The primary structure consists of amylose and amylopectin polymers, while the secondary structure features alpha helices and beta sheets. The tertiary structure is stabilized by disulfide bridges, hydrogen bonds, and Van der Waals interactions. The report also discusses the enzyme's subcellular localization and the roles of key amino acid residues in its active sites. Furthermore, it highlights how environmental factors like pH and temperature can affect protein structure. The report references key databases and research articles to support its analysis of amylase's structure and function.
