In the first two papers of this series, the tools necessary to evaluate substrate ring deformations were developed, and then the modeling of short amylose fragments (maltotriose and maltopentaose) inside the catalytic site of barley alpha-amylase was performed. In this third paper, this docking has been extended to the whole catalytic cleft. A systematic approach to extend the substrate was used on the reducing side from the previous enzyme/pentasaccharide complex. However, due to the lack of an obvious subsite at the nonreducing side, an alternate protocol has been chosen that incorporates biochemical information on the enzyme and features on the substrate shape as well. As a net result, ten subsites have been located consistent with the distribution of Ajandouz et al. (E. H. Ajandouz, J. Abe, B. Svensson, and G. Marchis-Mouren, Biochimica Biophysica Acta, 1992, Vol. 1159, pp. 193-202) and corresponding binding energies were estimated. Among them, two extreme subsites (-6) and (+4), with stacking residues Y104 and Y211, respectively, have strong affinities with glucose rings added to the substrate. No other deformation has been found for the new glucose rings added to the substrate; therefore, only ring A of the DP 10 fragment has a flexible form when interacting with the inner stacking residues Y51. Global conservation of the helical shape of the substrate can be postulated in spite of its significant distortion at subsite (-1).
