Alpha amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The structure is an 8 stranded alpha/beta barrel containing the active site, interrupted by a ~70 a.a. calcium-binding domain protruding between beta strand 3 and alpha helix 3, and a carboxyl-terminal Greek key beta-barrel domain.
This entry represents a domain found C-terminal in amylosucrase and related proteins. This domain follows the catalytic beta/alpha barrel domain. It folds into a beta-sandwich with a greek-key topology.
