Although, there are still ongoing studies about this matter, It is widely accepted that the hydrolysis of starch or oligosaccharides by mammalian amylases, in general, results in maltose as the leaving group. The active site of these amylases harbors three aromatic residues, which provide interactions to the bound glucose moieties. This process can be explained well by the rate equations derived from a three-step mechanism, which consists of adsorption of the free enzyme onto the surface of the substrate, reaction of the adsorbed enzyme with the substrate, and liberation of the product.
