Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase (BLA) is a highly thermostable starch-degrading enzyme that has been extensively studied in both academic and industrial laboratories. For over a decade, we have investigated BLA thermal properties and identified amino acid substitutions that significantly increase or
