| Popis: |
A keratinolytic enzyme secreted by Streptomyces fradiae is shown to have the property of solubilizing more than one-third the weight of unaltered wool. As elaborated by the organism, the protease is conjugated to an acidic polymer; this form of the enzyme is termed keratinase conjugate. In this form the enzyme exhibits optimum activity at pH 9.0 and minimum solubility at pH 3.6. Adsorption of the soluble enzyme onto wool is indicated to be a factor determining the kinetics of wool digestion by keratinase conjugate. |
