Protein Domain : IPR000165

Type:  Family Name:  Glucoamylase
Description:  This entry represents glucoamylase (GA), also known as glucan 1,4-alpha-glucosidase, which belongs to family 15 () in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases.GA catalyses the release of D-glucose from the non-reducing ends of starch and other oligo- or poly-saccharides. Studies of fungal GA have indicated 3 closely-clustered acidic residues that play a role in the catalytic mechanism []. This region is also conserved in a recently sequenced bacterial GA [].The 3D structure of the pseudo-tetrasaccharide acarbose complexed with glucoamylase II(471) from Aspergillus awamorivar. X100 has been determined to 2.4A resolution []. The protein belongs to the mainly-alpha class, and contains 19 helices and 9 strands. Short Name:  Glucoamylase
