Abstract
The author reports a modification of the UV method UltraZyme Plus alpha-Amyl Harleco and the adaptation to the Eppendorf Enzymautomat 5010. alpha-amylase acts on an oligosaccharide mixture yielding maltose, which is hydrolysed by alpha-glucosidase. The liberated glucose is determined specifically by the hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+-dependent) method+ by addition of pyruvate, lactate dehydrogenase and ATP. Thereafter the lactate dehydrogenase reaction is stopped by addition of oxamate and the alpha-amylase activity is measured.
