Alpha amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The structure is an 8 stranded alpha/beta barrel containing the active site, interrupted by a ~70 a.a. calcium-binding domain protruding between beta strand 3 and alpha helix 3, and a carboxyl-terminal Greek key beta-barrel domain.
Isomaltulose synthase (PalI), also known as sucrose isomerase, catalyses the isomerisation of sucrose to produce isomaltulose (alpha-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,6-D-fructofuranose) and trehalulose (alpha-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,1-D-fructofuranose) as the main products with residual amounts of glucose and fructose isomaltulose and trehalulose, two functional isomers of sucrose, have been suggested as non-cariogenic alternatives to sucrose and are widely used in health products and the food industry.
