The correct characteristics of alpha-amylase of saliva are:<br /><br />- Cleaves mainly (1-4) O-glycosidic bonds<br />- Breaks down amylopectin<br />- Belongs to the class of hydrolases<br />- Is an endoglycosidase<br /><br />Alpha-amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds in amylose and amylopectin, breaking them down into smaller carbohydrate molecules. It does not cleave (1-6) O-glycosidic bonds, which are found in branched structures like glycogen. Alpha-amylase is classified as a hydrolase because it uses water to break the glycosidic bonds. It is an endoglycosidase because it acts on the internal bonds within the carbohydrate molecule.
