Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the starch hydrolysis. A lot of amylases have been purified and/or cloned from plants, animals, and microorganisms. In this review, classification and distribution of amylases have been described. Three dimensional structure of amylase is shown by illustrating α-amylase of Bacillus licheniformis. Three amylase isozymes from an alkalophilic Pseudomonas are described about their cloning, primary structure, and biochemical characteristics.
