Abstract
We report an optical sensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) to study small-molecule protein interaction combining high sensitivity refractive index sensing for quantitative binding information and subsequent conformation-sensitive plasmon-activated circular dichroism spectroscopy. The interaction of α-amylase and a small-size molecule (PGG, pentagalloyl glucose) was log concentration-dependent from 0.5 to 154 μM. In situ tests were additionally successfully applied to the analysis of real wine samples. These studies demonstrate that LSPR sensors to monitor small molecule–protein interactions in real time and in situ, which is a great advance within technological platforms for drug discovery.

Abstract
The interaction between sodium phytate and three proteins was studied using solubility experiments and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to assess structural stability. Lysozyme, which is positively charged at neutral pH, bound phytate by an electrostatic interaction. There was evidence that phytate cross-linked lysozyme molecules forcing them out of solution. Myoglobin and human serum albumin, which were neutral or negatively charged, respectively, displayed association rather than binding, and there was no complex formation. All of the proteins were structurally destabilized by the presence of phytate but were not denatured. From these findings, we predict that phytate would bind electrostatically to a wide variety of positively charged proteins in the stomach as well as to trypsin and chymotrypsin in the duodenum. Both binding reactions may compromise the digestion of the protein component in feed stuffs. Because the interaction between phytate and protein is electrostatic, the presence of anions, such as chloride, would nullify the antinutritional effect of phytate.

Abstract
Bile salt-dependent lipase was purified to homogeneity from lyophilized human milk and used to screen the influence of the acyl chain length (2-16 carbon atoms) on the kinetic constants k(cat) and K(m) of the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl (pnp) ester substrates in the presence or absence of sodium taurocholate (NaTC: 0.02-20 mM). The highest k(cat) value (∼3,500 s(-1)) was obtained with pnpC(8) as substrate, whereas the lowest K(m) (<10 µM) was that recorded with pnpC(10). In the absence of NaTC, the maximal catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) was obtained with pnpC(8), while in the presence of NaTC k(cat)/K(m) was maximal with pnpC(8), pnpC(10) or pnpC(12). The bile salt activated the enzyme in two successive saturation phases occurring at a micromolar and a millimolar concentration range, respectively. The present data emphasize the suitability of this enzyme for the hydrolysis of medium-chain acyl-containing substrates and throw additional light on how BSDL is activated by NaTC.

Abstract
The action pattern of several amylases was studied at 35, 50, and 70 degrees C using potato amylose, a soluble (Red Starch) and insoluble (cross-linked amylose) chromophoric substrate. With potato amylose as substrate, Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase (BStA) and porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase displayed a high degree of multiple attack (DMA, i.e., the number of bonds broken during the lifetime of an enzyme-substrate complex minus one), the fungal alpha-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae a low DMA, and the alpha-amylases from B. licheniformis, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris, B. amyloliquifaciens, and B. subtilis an intermediate DMA. These data are discussed in relation to structural properties of the enzymes. The level of multiple attack (LMA), based on the relation between the drop in iodine binding of amylose and the increase in total reducing value, proved to be a good alternative for DMA measurements. The LMA of the endo-amylases increased with temperature to a degree depending on the amylase. In contrast, BStA showed a decreased LMA when temperature was raised. Furthermore, different enzymes had different activities on Red Starch and cross-linked amylose. Hence, next to the temperature, the action pattern of alpha-amylases is influenced by structural parameters of the starch substrate.

Abstract
The action pattern of Lactobacillus fermentum alpha-amylase (FERMENTA) was examined using a series of maltooligosaccharides (G2-G7) as substrates. Structurally, this enzyme has a molecular mass (106 kDa) almost twofold higher than alpha-amylases from mammalians and cereals. The product pattern was investigated through an analysis of products and substrates using HPAEC with pulsed amperometric detection. FERMENTA was consistent with an endo-type of amylase. The bond cleavage frequencies were studied using maltooligosaccharides of various chain lengths as substrate, i.e. maltose up to maltoheptaose and DP 4900-amylose catalyzed by FERMENTA. The catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) increased with chain length from maltose (8.7 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)) up to amylose (1 x10(9) M(-1) s(-1)). These action pattern results revealed that FERMENTA can readily cleave the third linkage from the reducing end of the maltooligosaccharides (G5-G7).

Abstract
The X-ray structure analysis of a crystal of pig pancreatic alpha-amylase soaked with a rho-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-maltoside (pNPG2) substrate showed a pattern of electron density corresponding to the binding of a rho-nitrophenol unit at subsite -2 of the active site. Binding of the product to subsite -2 after hydrolysis of the pNPG2 molecules, may explain the low catalytic efficiency of the hydrolysis of pNPG2 by PPA. Except a small movement of the segment from residues 304-305 the typical conformational changes of the "flexible loop" (303-309), that constitutes the surface edge of the substrate binding cleft, were not observed in the present complex structure. This result supports the hypothesis that significant movement of the loop may depend on aglycone site being filled (Payan and Qian, J. Protein Chen. 22: 275, 2003). Structural analyses have shown that pancreatic alpha-amylases undergo an induced conformational change of the catalytic residue Asp300 upon substrate binding; in the present complex the catalytic residue is observed in its unliganded orientation. The results suggest that the induced reorientation is likely due to the presence of a sugar unit at subsite -1 and not linked to the closure of the flexible surface loop. The crystal structure was refined at 2.4 A resolution to an R factor of 17.55% (Rfree factor of 23.32%).

Abstract
A ligand useful for affinity capture of porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase was found by virtual screening of the commercially available compound data base MDL Available Chemicals Directory. Hits from the virtual screening were investigated for binding by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and surface plasmon resonance. Selected compounds were tested for inhibition of the enzyme using a NMR-based assay. One of the binders found was covalently coupled to a chromatographic resin and a column, packed with this resin, could retain alpha-amylase, which subsequently was eluted by introduction of the known inhibitor acarbose to the elution buffer.

Abstract
Two inhibitors, acarbose and cyclodextrins (CD), were used to investigate the active site structure and function of barley alpha-amylase isozymes, AMY1 and AMY2. The hydrolysis of DP 4900-amylose, reduced (r) DP18-maltodextrin and maltoheptaose (catalysed by AMY1 and AMY2) was followed in the absence and in the presence of inhibitor. Without inhibitor, the highest activity was obtained with amylose, kcat/Km decreased 103-fold using rDP18-maltodextrin and 10(5) to 10(6)-fold using maltoheptaose as substrate. Acarbose is an uncompetitive inhibitor with inhibition constant (L1i) for amylose and maltodextrin in the micromolar range. Acarbose did not bind to the active site of the enzyme, but to a secondary site to give an abortive ESI complex. Only AMY2 has a second secondary binding site corresponding to an ESI2 complex. In contrast, acarbose is a mixed noncompetitive inhibitor of maltoheptaose hydrolysis. Consequently, in the presence of this oligosaccharide substrate, acarbose bound both to the active site and to a secondary binding site. alpha-CD inhibited the AMY1 and AMY2 catalysed hydrolysis of amylose, but was a very weak inhibitor compared to acarbose.beta- and gamma-CD are not inhibitors. These results are different from those obtained previously with PPA. However in AMY1, as already shown for amylases of animal and bacterial origin, in addition to the active site, one secondary carbohydrate binding site (s1) was necessary for activity whereas two secondary sites (s1 and s2) were required for the AMY2 activity. The first secondary site in both AMY1 and AMY2 was only functional when substrate was bound in the active site. This appears to be a general feature of the alpha-amylase family.

Abstract
In the present work, we aimed at developing a chemoenzymatic procedure for the synthesis of beta-maltooligosaccharide glycosides. The primer in the enzymatic reaction was 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl beta-maltoheptaoside (G(7)-CNP), synthesised from beta-cyclodextrin using a convenient chemical method. CNP-maltooligosaccharides of longer chain length, in the range of DP 8-11, were obtained by a transglycosylation reaction using alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-phosphate (G-1-P) as a donor. Detailed enzymological studies revealed that the conversion of G(7)-CNP catalysed by rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (EC 2.4.1.1) could be controlled by acarbose and was highly dependent on the conditions of transglycosylation. More than 90% conversion of G(7)-CNP was achieved through a 10:1 donor-acceptor ratio. Tranglycosylation at 37 degrees C for 30 min with 10 U enzyme resulted in G(8-->12)-CNP oligomers in the ratio of 22.8, 26.6, 23.2, 16.5, and 6.8%, respectively. The reaction pattern was investigated using an HPLC system. The preparative scale isolation of G(8-->11)-CNP glycosides was achieved on a semipreparative HPLC column. The productivity of the synthesis was improved by yields up to 70-75%. The structures of the oligomers were confirmed by their chromatographic behaviours and MALDI-TOF MS data.

Abstract
The action pattern of human salivary amylase (HSA) was examined by utilising as model substrates 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl (CNP) beta-glycosides of maltooligosaccharides of dp 4-8 and some 4-nitrophenyl (NP) derivatives modified at the nonreducing end with a 4,6-O-benzylidene (Bnl) group. The product pattern and cleavage frequency were investigated by product analysis using HPLC. The results revealed that the binding region in HSA is longer than five subsites usually considered in the literature and suggested the presence of at least six subsites; four glycone binding sites (-4, -3, -2, -1) and two aglycone binding sites (+1, +2). In the ideal arrangement, the six subsites are filled by a glucosyl unit and the release of maltotetraose (G4) from the nonreducing end is dominant. The benzylidene group was also recognisable by subsites (-3) and (-4). The binding modes of the benzylidene derivatives indicated a favourable interaction between the Bnl group and subsite (-3) and an unfavourable one with subsite (-4). Thus, subsite (-4) must be more hydrophylic than hydrophobic. As compared with the action of porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase (PPA) on the same substrates, the results showed differences in the three-dimensional structure of active sites of HSA and PPA.

Abstract
In the first two papers of this series, the tools necessary to evaluate substrate ring deformations were developed, and then the modeling of short amylose fragments (maltotriose and maltopentaose) inside the catalytic site of barley alpha-amylase was performed. In this third paper, this docking has been extended to the whole catalytic cleft. A systematic approach to extend the substrate was used on the reducing side from the previous enzyme/pentasaccharide complex. However, due to the lack of an obvious subsite at the nonreducing side, an alternate protocol has been chosen that incorporates biochemical information on the enzyme and features on the substrate shape as well. As a net result, ten subsites have been located consistent with the distribution of Ajandouz et al. (E. H. Ajandouz, J. Abe, B. Svensson, and G. Marchis-Mouren, Biochimica Biophysica Acta, 1992, Vol. 1159, pp. 193-202) and corresponding binding energies were estimated. Among them, two extreme subsites (-6) and (+4), with stacking residues Y104 and Y211, respectively, have strong affinities with glucose rings added to the substrate. No other deformation has been found for the new glucose rings added to the substrate; therefore, only ring A of the DP 10 fragment has a flexible form when interacting with the inner stacking residues Y51. Global conservation of the helical shape of the substrate can be postulated in spite of its significant distortion at subsite (-1).

Abstract
A cDNA library was constructed in a Uni-ZAP XR vector using mRNA isolated from porcine pancreas. A full-length alpha-amylase cDNA was obtained using a combination of library screening and nested polymerase chain reaction. Sequencing of the clone revealed a 1536-nucleotide (nt) open reading frame encoding a protein of 496 amino acid (aa) residues with a signal peptide of 15 aa. The calculated molecular mass of the enzyme was 55354 Da, in accordance with those of the purified porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase forms (PPAI and PPAII) as determined by mass spectrometry. A comparison of the deduced aa sequence with published peptidic sequences of PPAI identified a number of mismatches. The sequence of the cDNA reported here provides a sequence reference for PPA in excellent agreement with the refined three-dimensional structures of both PPAI and PPAII. No evidence for a second variant was found in the cDNA library and it is most likely that PPAI and PPAII are two forms of the same protein. The primary structure of PPA shows high homology with human, mouse and rat pancreatic alpha-amylases. The 304-310 region, corresponding to a mobile loop involved in substrate binding and processing near the active site, is fully conserved.

Abstract
The alpha-amylase of Bacillus coagulans is a saccharifying alpha-amylase which hydrolyses the disaccharide maltose [L. Keating, C. Kelly, and W. Fogarty, Biochem. Soc. Trans., 24 (1996) 44S]. The pH maximum for maltose hydrolysis is pH 5.0, differing from the pH maximum for starch hydrolysis which is pH 6.0. Studies using reducing end 14C-labeled maltooligosaccharides revealed a substrate-dependent pH maximum shift; hydrolysis of radiolabeled maltotriose (G3*) was maximal at pH 5.0 while the pH maximum for hydrolysis of radiolabeled maltopentaose (G5*) and maltohexaose (G6*) was pH 6.0. With maltotetraose (G4*) however, the pH maximum was pH 5.0-6.0. In addition, the bond cleavage pattern of G4* was dependent on pH. At pH 5.0, the pH maximum for maltose hydrolysis, the frequency of hydrolysis of the reducing end terminal bond of G4* was maximal. Determination of the pH maximum of the productive binding modes of the cleavage patterns of G3* to G6* illustrated the possible role of the occupation of subsite r + 2 in the pH control mechanism of B. coagulans alpha-amylase.

Abstract
The substrate binding sites of endo-(1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinanases (EC 3.2.1.99) from Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus aculeatus were investigated using reduced and regular (1-->5)-alpha-L-arabino-oligosaccharides and high performance anion exchange chromatographic analysis. Calculation of bond cleavage frequencies and kcat/K(m) parameters for these substrates enabled the determination of the number of arabinofuranosyl binding subsites and the estimation of the binding affinities of each subsite. The A. aculeatus endo-arabinanase has six subsites arranged symmetrically around the catalytic site, while the A. niger endo-arabinanase has five subsites; two from the catalytic site towards the non-reducing end of the bound substrate and three toward the reducing end. The two subsites directly adjacent to the catalytic sites in both the A. niger and A. aculeatus endo-arabinanase have near-zero net free energy of binding. These results are unlike most glycopyranosyl endo-hydrolases studied which have net negative (unfavourable) energies of interaction at these two subsites, and may be related to the greater conformational flexibility of arabinofuranosyl residues than glycopyranosyl residues. The complete subsite maps are also rationalized with regard to the observed action patterns of these enzymes on linear (1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinan.

Abstract
A technique for the investigation of the action pattern of porcine pancreatic amylase (PPA) has been developed by utilising as model substrates 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl (CNP) and 4-nitrophenyl (NP) beta-glycosides of maltooligosaccharides of dp 4-8 and some NP derivatives modified at the nonreducing end with a 4,6-O-benzylidene (Bnl) group. The action pattern was investigated by the method of product analysis, using an HPLC method. The product pattern and cleavage frequency was very similar in the CNP- and NP-oligomers and showed that the glucopyranose residue could be replaced by the aglycon group. Modification of the nonreducing end of NP glycosides to give a 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucopyranosyl group indicated a favourable interaction between the Bnl group and the subsites (-3) and (-5) but an unfavourable one with subsite (-4), which resulted in a clear shift in the product pattern. The results obtained with the digestion of the benzylidene-protected substrates confirm a multiple attack mechanism for PPA.

Abstract
Kinetics of inhibition of the two porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase components (PPA I and PPA II) by acarbose were performed using reduced DP18-maltodextrin and amylose as substrates. Similar Line-weaver-Burk primary plots were obtained. Two mixed non-competitive models are proposed. X-ray crystallographic data [Qian, M., Buisson, G., Duée. E., Haser, R. & Payan, F. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 6284-6294] are in support of the mixed non-competitive inhibition model which involves abortive complexes. Secondary plots are different; inhibition of reduced DP18-maltodextrin hydrolysis gives straight-lines plots while amylose gives parabolic curves. These results, confirmed by Dixon-plot analyses, allow us to postulate that, in inhibition of reduced DP18-maltodextrin hydrolysis, one molecule of acarbose is bound/ amylase molecule. In contrast, using amylose as a substrate, two molecules of acarbose are bound. These kinetically determined binding sites might correspond to surface sites found by X-ray crystallography [Qian, M., Haser, R. & Payan, F. (1995) Protein Sci. 4, 747-755]; the glucose site close to the active site and the maltose site, 2 nm away. In conclusion, no significant difference between PPA I and PPA II has been observed, either from molecular mass or from kinetic behaviours; this suggests multiple forms of the enzyme. A general mechanism of PPA action is proposed; in addition to the active site, long-chain substrate hydrolysis requires the glucose-binding site and the maltose-binding site, while only one site is necessary for the hydrolysis of short chain substrate.
