Extracellular isoamylase produced by Rhizopus oryzae PR7 MTCC 9642 in in Erlenmeyer flasks was purified by ultrafiltration and by two steps of Superose 6 C-10/300GL gel chromatography. The enzyme molecule was found to be a monomer with molecular weight of 68 kDa.The purified isoamylase showed optimum activity at pH 5.5 and temperature 55 degrees C. The catalytic activity was found to remain stable at a broad range of pH (4-8) and could show remarkable thermo resistance specially in presence of exogenous thiols. The noteworthy enhancement of activity in presence of Mn2+ indicated its role as enzyme cofactor while thermos and chemostability in presence of exogenous thiols indicated the presence of disulfide linkage at active site of the enzyme. Both in vitro study and doking analysis indicated the highest affinity of the isoamylase of R. oryzae PR7 toward glycogen and the enzyme exhibited Km and Vmax values of 0.38 mg/mL and 6.65 mM/min/mL, respectively. Purified debranching amylolytic enzyme from R. oryzae PR7 has potential for the study of glycogen and starch structure and industrial application in combination with other amylolytic enzymes. The rapid, convenient, relatively simple purification process and other functional attributes of the enzyme made it competent to be employed for industrial utilization.
