Anionic activation of human salivary amylase

Abstract
In all earlier studies onα-amylase, the influence of different ions were studied in phosphate buffer. The present report shows the effect of different ions individually withTris and amino acid. Though it has been claimed recently that sodium ion is an activator ofα-amylase, this study reconfirms that sodium ion does not activate human salivary amylase.
