Molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of an α-amylase family from Aspergillus niger

Conclusions This study illustrates that a gene family can encode multiple enzymes members having remarkable differences in biochemical properties. It provides not only new insights into evolution and functional divergence among different members of an α-amylase family, but the development of new enzymes for industrial application.
