Boiled amylase as you probably figure has been boiled and since all enzymes are protein, their molecular structure is affected by the heating process. In other words, the amylase has become denatured and will not break down the starch and thus, the starch will remain in its present form.

What would be the result of Benedict's solution on boiled amylase?
Boiled amylase would denature and lose its function. Benedict's solution tests for the presence of reducing sugars, which are the products of amylase breaking down starch. Without functional amylase, there would be no breakdown of starch into reducing sugars, resulting in a negative or no color change with Benedict's solution.
Is amylase present in Proteus vulgaris?
Yes, amylase is present in Proteus vulgaris. Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars. Proteus vulgaris is known to produce amylase as part of its metabolic activities.
What happens to starch at the molecular level when it is acted upon by amylase?
the amylase degrades the starch
What does amylase break down?
Amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar. It is produced in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine.
What does amylase break starch molecules into?
Amylase breaks starch molecules into maltose, which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules.
