Molecular dynamics study of the effect of Calcium Ions on the thermostability of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Phytase

Phytase is added to animal feeds to improve phosphorus absorption and reduce phosphorus excretion of swine and poultry. It hydrolyses phytate, which is a major form of storage of cereal grains and legumes in commercial animal feeds, into myo-inositol and inorganic phosphate. Adequate thermostabili...
