Resumo

α-Cyclodextrin specifically inhibited raw starch digestion by Bacillus subtilis 65 α-amylase. The raw starch digestibility and α-cyclodextrin-Sepharose 6B adsorbability of this α-amylase were simultaneously lost when the specific domain corresponding to the affinity site essential for raw starch digestion was deleted by proteolysis. Occurrence of the affinity site on raw-starch-digesting enzymes was proven also with bacterial amylase.
