In spite of the high similarity of amino acid sequence and three-dimensional structure between soybean beta-amylase (SBA) and sweet potato beta-amylase (SPB), their quaternary structure is quite different, being a monomer in SBA and a tetramer in SPB. Because most of the differences in amino acid sequences are found in the surface region, we tested the tetramerization of SBA by examining mutations of residues located at the surface ...
