Abstract

The spatial structure of the Colorado potato beetle α-amylase fragment was obtained by homology modeling. Amylase of Colorado potato beetle and flour castaneum have similar conformation of the active site and essential differences of physico-chemical properties of its constituent amino acid residues.
