Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simple sugars. All amylases are glycoside hydrolases and act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. There are four classification of amalyses which are the alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and the gamma-amylase. Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

These amino acids are subunits that link collectively and make a protein (enzyme) chain. When combined with calcium, chloride, and water, these amino acids form a particular amylase composition described alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is one of three amylase enzymes and is used in chemical digestion.
