Abstract: In certain enzymatic actions, such as the case of á-amylase hydrolyzing the starch, the mode of splitting the molecule is random. Various models, mostly non-deterministic, have been applied to account for this type of action, as for example the Monte-Carlo procedure. In this paper a new approach is applied based on the Boltzmann entropy equation where the multiplicity, W, has the meaning of various possible products after a given number of hydrolysis stages. Through this analysis the probability of obtaining the desirable product, which is maltose, is estimated and compared to experimental results.
Keywords: Enzymes, enzymatic hydrolysis, starch, á-amylase, maltose, Boltzmann equation, enzymatic modeling
