Popis: | Cocoa beans infected by Botryodiplodia theobromae produced proteins which possessed proteolytic activity. The enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by molecular exclusion and ion-exchange chromatography. The Mr was approx. 80000. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at pH 8.0 and 35°C, and possessed an apparent Km of approx. 8.3 mg/ml for casein. Activity of the enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+ and Mg2+ but inhibited by mercuric chloride, EDTA, iodoacetic acid and 2,4-dinitrophenol. |
