Abstract
α- Amylase is an industrially important enzyme which hydrolyses starch and glycogen and yields glucose and
maltose.
α- amylase is used in ethanol production to break starches in grains into fermentable sugars, food
industry, pharmaceutical industries, and detergents and in the tanning industries.
An attempt has been made
to use computational tools to characterize various parameters of α-amylase.
The physicochemical properties
were computed u
