Bremsstrahlung (or Brems) radiation. is one of the two kinds of x-rays produced at the tungsten target of the x-ray tube; The incident high-speed electron, passing through a tungsten atom, is attracted by the positively charged nucleus and therefore is deflected from its course, with a resulting loss of energy.
An amylase (/ËaemÉ¨leÉªs/) ËÃ¦mÉ¨leÉªs is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into. Sugars amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other, mammals where it begins the chemical process of. digestionhe pancreas and salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase.
A form of amylase in humans and other mammals that cuts alpha-bonds of large sugar molecules. In animals, the alpha-amylases are major digestive enzymes. The ptyalin (salivary amylase) and pancreatic amylase are examples of alpha-amylase.
