Depending on the the type of RE engine used the unspecific second group can lead to time-consuming backtracks.  Better use something like that:

alpha(.+)\(([^)]+)\)

(or maybe 

alpha(.+)\(([^\)]+)\)

if the „)“ needs to be quoted inside a character range, again depending on the RE engine).

That would be the same in AlphaX while with Textmate (which uses Oniguruma rsp. Onigmo) the second pattern would be

alpha$1 $2

Afaik the TeXShop editor also uses the Oniguruma RE engine so the latter one should be true there to.
