Popis: | Linamarase from cassava cortex was immobilized on polyacrylamide gel. A crude extract of the enzyme containing most of the intracellular proteins was used for the technique to simulate the enzyme in cassava. Immobilization of the enzyme increased the Michaelis constants for all substrates when compared with the native enzyme. Both free and immobilized linamarase hydrolyzed p-nitrophenylβ D-glucoside, linamarin and p-nitrophenylβ-D-galactoside. The immobilized enzyme was more stable than the free enzyme at room temperature (25C) and 41C. Both forms gave a bell-shaped curve with maximal activity at pH 6.0; these data indicated two catalytic ionizable residues with pKa 5.7 and pKa 6.5. |
