Human Salivary alpha Amylase enzyme Unit Definition: One unit will catalyze the hydrolysis of one micromole of malto pentaose, which through coupled reactions results in the formation of 5 micromoles of glucose=6-phosphate per minute at 37C. Measured at 340 nm as an equimolar amount of NADH produced by a coupled reaction.

Human alpha Amylase Research:
Human a-Amylase enzyme is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). The human alpha amylase(s) enzyme are calcium metalloenzymes, completely unable to function in the absence of calcium. By acting at random locations along the starch chain, human alpha amylase enzyme breaks down long-chain carbohydrates, ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose from amylose, or maltose, glucose and "limit dextrin" from amylopectin. Because human salivary amylase can act anywhere on the substrate, human alpha amylase enzyme tends to be faster acting than beta amylase enzyme
