    Abstract

    This review on barley alpha-amylases 1 (AMY1) and 2 (AMY2) addresses rational mutations at distal subsites to the catalytic site, polysaccharide hydrolysis, and interactions with proteinaceous inhibitors. Subsite mapping of barley alpha-amylases revealed 6 glycone and 4 aglycone substrate subsites. Moreover, two maltooligosaccharide surface binding sites have been identified. Engineering of outer subsites -6 and +4 alters action patterns and relative specificities. Thus, compared to wild-type, Y105A AMY1 (subsite -6) shows 140%, 15%, and
