Abstract
Starch has been a convenient, economically important polymer with substantial applications in the food and processing industry. However, native starches present restricted applications, which hinder their industrial usage. Therefore, modification of starch is carried out to augment the positive characteristics and eliminate the limitations of the native starches. Modifications of starch can result in generating novel polymers with numerous functional and value-added properties that suit the needs of the industry. Here, we summarize the possible starch modifications in planta and outside the plant system (physical, chemical, and enzymatic) and their corresponding applications. In addition, this review will highlight the implications of each starch property adjustment.

Expression, biochemical and structural characterization of high-specific-activity β-amylase from Bacillus aryabhattai GEL-09 for application in starch hydrolysis. Microb Cell Fact 2021; 20:182.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) is an exo-enzyme that shows high specificity for cleaving the α-1,4-glucosidic linkage of starch from the non-reducing end, thereby liberating maltose. In this study, we heterologously expressed and characterized a novel β-amylase from Bacillus aryabhattai. RESULTS The amino acid-sequence alignment showed that the enzyme shared the highest sequence identity with β-amylase from Bacillus flexus (80.73%) followed by Bacillus cereus (71.38%). Structural comparison revealed the existence of an additional starch-binding domain (SBD) at the C-terminus of B. aryabhattai β-amylase, which is notably different from plant β-amylases. The recombinant enzyme purified 4.7-fold to homogeneity, with a molecular weight of ~ 57.6 kDa and maximal activity at pH 6.5 and 50 °C. Notably, the enzyme exhibited the highest specific activity (3798.9 U/mg) among reported mesothermal microbial β-amylases and the highest specificity for soluble starch, followed by corn starch. Kinetic analysis showed that the Km and kcat values were 9.9 mg/mL and 116961.1 s- 1, respectively. The optimal reaction conditions to produce maltose from starch resulted in a maximal yield of 87.0%. Moreover, molecular docking suggested that B. aryabhattai β-amylase could efficiently recognize and hydrolyze maltotetraose substrate. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that B. aryabhattai β-amylase could be a potential candidate for use in the industrial production of maltose from starch.

Abstract
The conversion of starch to maltose is catalysed in plants by β-amylase. The enzymatic mechanism has been well-characterized for the soybean and barley enzymes, which utilise a glutamic acid-glutamate pair. In the present study, we present a surprise observation of maltotetraose at the active site, the presence of which elucidates the clear role of Thr344 as a conformational "switch" between substrate binding and product release during hydrolysis. This observation is confirmed by the selection of maltotetraose by the crystallized enzyme although that carbohydrate was present in only trace amounts. The conformation of the residues in the substrate-binding site changed upon substrate binding, leading to the movement of threonine, glutamic acid, and the loop conformation, elucidating a missing link in the existing mechanism. By aligning our substrate-free and maltotetraose-bound structures with other existing structures, the sequence of events from substrate binding to hydrolysis can be visualized. Apart from this, the evolutionary relationship among β-amylases of bacterial and amyloplastic origin could be established. The presence of a sugar-binding domain in the bacterial enzyme and its absence in the plant counterpart could be attributed to a carbohydrate-rich environment. Interestingly, cladogram analysis indicates the presence of N-terminal additions in some plant β-amylases. Based on sequence similarity, we postulate that the role of such additions is important for the regulation of enzymatic activity, particularly under stress conditions.

Abstract
β-Amylase from un-germinated seeds of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) was purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity with final purification fold of 205 and specific activity of 361μmol/min/mg protein. The enzyme was purified employing simple purification techniques for biochemical characterization. The purified enzyme was identified as β-amylase with Mr of 31kDa. The enzyme displayed its optimum catalytic activity at pH5.0 and 60°C with activation energy of 4.5kcal/mol and Q10 1.2. The enzyme displayed Km and Vmax values, for soluble potato starch of 1.28mg/mL and 363.63μmol/min/mg, respectively. Thermal inactivation of β-amylase at 65°C resulted into first-order kinetics with rate constant 0.0126min-1 and t½ 55min. The enzyme was observed to act on native granular potato starch, which could minimize the high cost occurring from solubilization of starch in industries. Enzyme fractions scavenge 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, indicating its antioxidative nature. In addition, the purified β-amylase was successfully utilized for the improvement of antioxidant potential of wheat. These findings suggest that β-amylase from peanuts have potential application in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
This chapter describes two simple interrelated non-chromatographic methods of protein purification. In the first method, called affinity precipitation, inherent affinity of reversibly soluble-insoluble polymers (also called stimuli-sensitive or smart polymers) is exploited to form an affinity complex in free solution with target protein. The affinity complex is precipitated by a suitable change in the medium. The desired protein is dissociated from the smart polymer. In the second method called macro (affinity ligand)-facilitated three phase partitioning (MLFTPP), the affinity complex is precipitated at an interface between upper t-butanol-rich phase and lower aqueous phase. These three phases are achieved by adding appropriate amounts of ammonium sulfate and t-butanol to the initial crude extract. In the first protocol, sequential MLFTPP is used with two different smart polymers to purify pectinase and cellulase from a single crude preparation. The second protocol illustrates the application of the affinity precipitation in simultaneous purification and refolding of a urea-denatured xylanase.

Abstract
Alginate is a polysaccharide that is a block polymer consisting of block units of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid. It shows inherent biological affinity for a variety of enzymes such as pectinase, lipase, phospholipase D, a and ss amylases and glucoamylase. Taking advantage of its precipitation with Ca2+ and the above-mentioned property, alginate has been used for purification of these enzymes by affinity precipitation, aqueous two phase separation, macroaffinity ligand facilitated three phase partitioning, immobilized metal affinity chromatography and expanded bed affinity chromatography. Thus, this versatile marine resource has tremendous potential in bioseparation of proteins.

Abstract
Extracellular alginate lyase secreted by marine Vibrio sp. YWA, isolated from decayed Laminaria japonica, was purified by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation and diethylaminoethyl-Sephacel column chromatography. The results show that the molecular mass of alginate lyase was approximately 62.5 kDa, with an optimal pH and temperature at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C, respectively. K(m) was approximately 72.73 g/L. The activity of the enzyme was enhanced by EDTA and Zn(2+), but inhibited by Ba(2+). The substrates specificity analysis shows that it was specific for hydrolyzing poly-beta-D-1,4-mannuronate in alginate.

Abstract
(1) Chitosan was found to be a suitable macroaffinity ligand for affinity precipitation of chitinase from Neurospora crassa, cabbage and puffballs. (2) The activity recoveries of 85, 82 and 90% with concomitant fold purifications in terms of specific activities were 27, 15 and 30 with N. crassa, cabbage and puffballs and were obtained with affinity precipitation. These results were obtained with clarified extracts/homogenates as the starting materials. (3) The incorporation of chitosan in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-salt aqueous two-phase system allowed purification of chitinases from these sources directly from unclarified extracts/homogenates. (4) The 96% (w/v) chitosan (of initially introduced into the aqueous two-phase system) partitioned into PEG-phase and this enhanced the partitioning of chitinases into PEG-phase. The chitosan, free as well as bound to chitinases, could be separated from PEG-phase by increasing the pH to 7. (5) By the process of desorption with 2.0 M MgCl2, 86, 80 and 88% activity recoveries (% expressed in terms of total units of enzyme activities in the crude extract) were obtained in the case of N. crassa, cabbage and puffballs, respectively. The corresponding fold purifications in terms of specific activities were 34, 20 and 38. (6) The purified preparations gave single bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the estimated molecular masses agreed with the reported values in the literature.

Abstract
An aqueous two-phase system of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-salt was used for purification of phospholipase D (PLD) from peanuts and carrots. Alginate, a known macroaffinity ligand for PLD, was incorporated in the PEG phase and resulted in 91 and 93% of the enzyme activity (from peanuts and carrots, respectively) getting partitioned in the PEG phase. The elution of the enzyme from alginate was facilitated by exploiting the fact that the latter can be reversibly precipitated in the presence of Ca2+. The enzyme was eluted from the polymer by using 0.5 M NaCl. Peanuts and carrots PLD could be purified 78- and 17-fold with 82 and 85% activity recovery, respectively. The purified enzyme from both sources gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) electrophoresis.

Abstract
Developing the most efficient strategy for the purification of a (recombinant) protein especially at large scale remains a challenge. A typical problem of the downstream process of mammalian cell products is, for instance, the early capture of the highly diluted product from the complex process stream. Affinity precipitation has been suggested in this context. The technique is known for over 20 years, but has recently received more attention due to the development of new materials for its implementation, but also because it seems ideally suited to specific product capture at large scale. The present review gives a comprehensive overview over this technique. Besides an introduction to the basic principle and a brief summary of the historical development, the main focus is on the current state-of-art of the technique, the available materials, important recent applications, as well as process design strategies and operating procedures. Special consideration is given to affinity precipitation for product recovery at large scale.

Abstract
kappa-Carrageenan is a polysaccharide from red seaweed which gets precipitated by K+ ions and dissolves again in water. This smart, K(+)-responsive polymer was found to selectively bind pullulanase activity from Bacillus acidopullulyticus. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 showed the formation of the polymer-pullulanase complex at the pre-precipitation stage. On the other hand, phospholipase D, an enzyme which did not co-precipitate with kappa-carrageenan, did not form any complex with the polymer. Thus, K+ ions could be used to selectively precipitate the pullulanase activity. Then, 92% enzyme activity could be eluted with 1 M maltose solution. The single step protocol resulted in 50-fold purification, with a single band on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
It was found that alginate binds to glucoamylase, presumably through the recognition of starch binding domain of the latter. The present work exploits this for purification of glucoamylases from commercial preparation of Aspergillus niger and crude culture filtrate of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by affinity precipitation technique in a single-step protocol. Glucoamylase is selectively precipitated using alginate as macroaffinity ligand and later eluted with 1.0 M maltose. In the case of A. niger, 81% activity is recovered with 28-fold purification. The purified glucoamylase gave a single band on SDS-PAGE corresponding to 78 kDa molecular weight. The developed affinity precipitation process also works efficiently for purification of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens glucoamylase from its crude culture filtrate, giving 78% recovery with 38-fold purification. The purified preparation showed a major band corresponding to 62 kDa and a faint band about 50 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The latter corresponds to the molecular weight for alpha-amylase of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Abstract
Use of alginate as a free bioligand incorporated in an aqueous two-phase system of polyethylene glycol 6000-salt resulted in considerable purification of wheat germ alpha-amylase and sweet potato beta-amylase from their crude extracts. The elution of the enzyme from the free bioligand was facilitated by exploiting the fact that alginate can be reversibly precipitated in the presence of Ca2+. alpha-Amylase could be purified 42-fold with 92% activity recovery. beta-Amylase on the other hand could be purified 43-fold with 90% recovery. Both purified enzymes showed a single band on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
