Inhibition of α-Amylases by Condensed and Hydrolysable Tannins: Focus on Kinetics and Hypoglycemic Actions

Figure 2

Inhibition of the human salivary α-amylase by condensed and hydrolysable tannins: concentration dependence. Initial reaction rates were measured as described in the Material and Methods. Each datum point represents the mean of four independent determinations. (a) Reaction rates (); (b) inverse reaction rates ().
