Abstract

A combination of chromatofocusing and gel filtration chromatography resulted in a simple purification of α-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis. The purification was approximately 77-fold. Identification of the purity was established by SDS-PAGE. Molecular weight and isoelectric point of the purified enzyme were 58 kDa and 7.18 respectively. Western blot analysis confirms the specificity of antibody raised against purified α-amylase.
