Studies reveal ancient humans adapted by increasing amylase genes during two major periods: the advent of cooking several ...

New research traces the genetic underpinnings of the enzyme amylase, which helps humans digest starches and sugars Sarah Kuta Daily Correspondent Scientists traced the history of AMY1, the gene ...

Now, a new study led by UB and the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) reveals how the duplication of this gene — known as the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) — may not only have helped shape human adaptation to ...

A study led by Dr. Andréa Miura da Costa (Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz) has reported amylase production by Trichoderma ...

The enzyme amylase, which is produced by the AMY1 gene, converts complex carbs into simple sugars. Researchers found that this gene started to replicate and spread long before agriculture was ...

Humans carry multiple copies of the salivary amylase gene (AMY1), which helps begin breaking down starch in the mouth -- the first step in digesting carb-laden foods like bread and pasta, researchers ...

Scientists participating in the study have traced the evolution of the human salivary amylase gene, AMY1, which is responsible in part for starch digestion. They discovered that the gene has been ...

Now, a new study led by the University at Buffalo and the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), reveals how the duplication of this gene -; known as the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) -;may not only have helped ...

Hyperlipasemia immediately after pancreatic resections may predict pancreatic fistula, reveals study published in the Surgery ...

The instrument quantifies the alpha-amylase enzyme activity in grains and flour to optimize flour enzyme activity, identify sprout damage and ensure the quality of traded grain. Alpha-amylase activity ...

Put 1cm³ of amylase enzyme into tube 1 but not tube 2. Leave at room temperature for five minutes. Test for starch (using iodine) and glucose (using Benedict’s reagent) inside and outside both ...

Two new studies found that ancient human ancestors carried a surprising diversity of genes for amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch. By Carl Zimmer As soon as you put starch in your mouth ...
