Alpha amylase has a wide range of applications in starch processing, textile industry and its role as a detergent is also well defined. In this study rational approach of protein engineering to analyse the nature of the active site of thermostable alpha amylases via in silico computational tools was excercised. Sequential and structural analysis of alpha amylases from Pyrococcus furiosus (100ºC-105ºC), Bacillus licheniformis (90-95ºC) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (72ºC) was carried out.
