Electrophoretic phenotypes of human salivary amylase (Amy j) and pancreatic amylase (Amyz) consist of complex isozyme patterns which may result from posttranslational modifications of the primary products of the amylase loci. Biochemical separation of the two molecular weight families of salivary am
Human parotid salivary amylase (Amy1) isozymes may be separated into two families: (1) one of higher molecular weight and slower electrophoretic mobility, odds, and ( 2) the other of lower molecular weight and faster electrophoretic mobility, evens. An enzyme has been detected in whole saliva, and a
The isozymes of human salivary a-amylase have been separated by thinlayer gel isoelectric focusing in a pH 4-8 gradient followed by a starchiodine zymogram procedure. The normal isozyme pattern (N) consisted of five major isozymes together with a number of minor ones. In addition, seven variant isoz
## Abstract Nonglycosylated α‐amylase, a major component of human parotid saliva, has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion technique using 2‐methyl‐2,4‐pentanediol as the precipitant in the presence of CaCl~2~ at pH 9.0. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group __P__2~1~2~1~2~1~ with unit cel
