Abstract
The granular starch binding domain of glucoamyla 1 (EC 3.2.1.3 1,4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase) binds two molecules of β-cyclodextrin, with a dissociation constant (Kd) for the second ligand of 1.68 μM. The catalytic domain showed no interaction with β-cyclodextrin. β-cyclodextrin competitively inhibited the adsorption of the binding domain onto granular starch with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 11.0 ± 1.9 μM. The results show that β-cyclodextrin binds to the binding domain of glucoamylase at the same site(s) as granular starch.
