alpha - amylase breaks what type of glycosidic bonds?
a 1 - 4 glycosidic linkages found in stretches of longer than 6 glucoses
b 1 - 6 glycosidic linkages found in stretches of longer than 6 glucoses
c 1 - 4 glycosidic linkages 2 glucoses from the non - reducing end
d 1 - 6 glycosidic linkages 2 glucoses from the reducing end

Explanation:

Alpha - amylase is an enzyme that acts on starch. It cleaves 1 - 4 glycosidic linkages. It typically acts on regions of starch chains that are relatively long and cleaves the 1 - 4 glycosidic linkages in stretches of longer than 6 glucoses.

Answer:

A. 1-4 glycosidic linkages found in stretches of longer than 6 glucoses
