Fig. 1.

SDS-PAGE showing the expression and purification of α-glucosidase. Lane C, a control experiment (without the gene), Lane-M, Protein marker (Thermofisher - unstained protein ruler). Lane E, experimental with the expression of the gene. P, purified enzyme, the molecular weight of the purified enzyme was found as 30 kDa.

Fig. 2.

A study of the kinetics of recombinant α-glucosidase. A, Enzyme stability against temperature. B, Effects of temperature on enzyme activity. C, Lineweaver-Burk plot for Km and Vmax. D, Effects of pH on enzyme activity.

Fig. 3.

Depicts a 3D interaction of alpha-glucosidase and acarbose. Panel A shows an enlarged model of the complex, highlighting the ligand in the active site of bacterial alpha-glucosidase. Panel B provides a closer view of the complex, with the ligand displayed in the center of human alpha-glucosidase.

Fig. 4.

Depicts a 2D interaction of alpha-glucosidase and acarbose. A, enlarged model of the complex, highlighting the ligand in the active site of bacterial alpha-glucosidase. B, provides a closer view of the complex, with the ligand displayed in the center of human alpha-glucosidase.

Table II.

Molecular docking of α-glucosidase with its potential inhibitors a comparison of human and Thermococcus enzyme.
