Immobilized enzymes are widely used in the clinical laboratory in the assay of several analytes and enzymes. The use of immobilized enzymes makes these reagents recoverable and re-usable, and in most cases increases their stability and catalytic activity. In conjunction with bioluminescent enzymes (firefly and bacterial luciferases) and chemiluminescent catalyst (peroxidase) we set up high-sensitive flow methods based on the use of nylon tube coil or epoxy methacrylate column as solid support. All the NAD(P)/NAD(P)H-dependent dehydrogenases (bacterial luciferase), ATP-dependent enzymes (firefly luciferase) and oxidases producing H2O2 (peroxidase) can be immobilized and a large variety of analytes have been sensitively measured. As an alternative format we also reported a dry chemistry method in which all the enzymes, substrates and cofactors are ready to use, supported on dry cellulose disks. Methodological problems such as flow conditions, stability, pH, ionic strength and analytical performances are also reported. 相似文献

The selective precipitation of xylanase from an aqueous phase containing mixtures of xylanase and cellulase was studied using an ionic surfactant as precipitating ligand and a polar organic solvent as recovery solvent. Of four ionic surfactants tested, sodium di-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) showed a complete removal of xylanase at pH 4.5. The recovery of xylanase from the xylanase-AOT complex was a strong function of the type and the volume of the polar solvent and of the concentration of sodium acetate buffer in the final aqueous solution used to solubilize the recovered xylanase. With ethanol as a recovery solvent, a recovery of xylanase activity of 78 +/- 10% was obtained. The cellulase activity in the recovered xylanase was below the detection limit. The results demonstrate that an ionic surfactant can recover enzymes from aqueous solutions without loss in their activity. 相似文献

(1) Urease (EC 3.5.1.5.) was modified with beta-1-[3,3-dimethyl-6'-nitrospiro-(indoline-2,2'-2H-benzopyrene)] propionic anhydride. Three amino acid residues of urease were modified by the anhydride at a molar ratio of 2000. (2) The activity of modified urease was decreased with ultraviolet irradiation and then restored to the initial activity with visible light irradiation. (3) Modified urease was used to prepare a urease-collagen membrane. The apparent Michaelis constant (Km) of the modified urease-collagen membrane ultraviolet light was identical to that of the membrane under visible light. (4) The optimum pH of the modified urease-collagen membrane was displaced toward lower pH values with ultraviolet irradiation. At higher ionic strength, the pH activity curve of the membrane was displaced toward higher pH values. (5) The thermostability of urease was increased with its modification. 相似文献

Inhibition of phospholipase A2 by heparin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is an important enzyme in the regulation of cell behavior. The hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in vitro catalyzed by porcine pancreatic PLA2 was inhibited by heparin. Other glycosaminoglycans inhibited PLA2 activity to a significantly lesser extent, with a pattern of inhibition: heparin much greater than chondroitin sulfate (CS)-C greater than CS-A greater than CS-B greater than keratan sulfate. Hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate caused no inhibition. Heparin's ability to inhibit PLA2 activity did not depend on substrate concentration, but did depend on ionic strength, with inhibition decreasing with increasing ionic strength. Heparin inhibition also varied with pH, being more effective at pH 5-8 than at pH 10. As a consequence, heparin induced a shift of the pH optimum of PLA2 from 7 to 8. Histone IIA and protamine sulfate, heparin-binding proteins, reversed heparin-induced PLA2 inhibition. The concentration of heparin which inhibited PLA2 activity by 50% increased with increasing enzyme concentration. Furthermore, PLA2 bound to heparin-Affigel. The data indicate that the catalytic potential of PLA2 can be regulated by heparin or heparin-like molecules and that inhibition is contingent on the formation of a heparin-PLA2 complex. 相似文献

Val-D-Leu-Pro-Phe-Phe-Val-D-Leu, a specific inhibitor of aspartate proteinases of the pepsin type, was synthesized. Its bonding to activated 6-aminohexanoic acid-Sepharose 4B afforded an affinity support suitable for the purification of human, porcine, and chicken pepsin, human gastricsin, and bovine cathepsin D. These enzymes bind to the support over the pH range 2-5 at 0-1.5 M concentration of NaCl. A buffer at pH greater than or equal to 6, low ionic strength, and containing 20% dioxane can serve as a general desorption agent. The proteinases were isolated from the crude extracts by a single-step procedure in a high degree of purity and in yields exceeding 70%; human pepsin, however, was not separated from human gastricsin. The support does not show any binding capacity for rat plasma renin at pH 7.4 and for some cysteine endopeptidases (cathepsin B, H, and L) at pH 3-5. The cathepsin D preparations isolated by affinity chromatography on the new support and on pepstatin-Sepharose were of the same degree of purity as evidenced by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, N-terminal amino acid sequences, and specific activity. 相似文献

The enzyme penicillin G acylase (PGA) is not adsorbed at pH 7 on DEAE- or PEI-coated supports, neither is it adsorbed on carboxymethyl (CM)- or dextran sulfate (DS)-coated supports. The surface of the enzyme was chemically modified under controlled conditions: chemical amination of the protein surface of carboxylic groups (using soluble carbodiimide and ethylendiamine) and chemical succinylation (using succinic anhydride) of amino groups. The full chemical modification produced some negative effects on enzyme stability and activity, although partial modification (mainly succinylation) presented negligible effects on both enzyme features. The chemical amination of the protein surface permitted the immobilization of the enzyme on CM- and DS-coated support, while the chemical succinylation permitted the enzyme immobilization on DEAE- and PEI-coated supports. Immobilization was very strong on these supports, mainly in the polymeric ones, and dependent on the degree of modification, although the enzymes still can be desorbed after inactivation by incubation under drastic conditions. Moreover, the immobilization on ionic polymeric beds allowed a significant increase in enzyme stability against the inactivation and inhibitory effects of organic solvents, very likely by the promotion of a certain partition of the organic solvent out of the enzyme environment. These results suggest that the enrichment of the surface of proteins with ionic groups may be a good strategy to take advantage of the immobilization of industrial enzymes via ionic exchange on ionic polymeric beds. 相似文献

2The immobilization parameters were optimized for the hydantoinase and the L-N-carbamoylase from Arthrobacter aurescens DSM 3747 or 3745, respectively. To optimize activity yields and specific activities for the immobilization to Eupergit C, Eupergit C 250 L, and EAH-Sepharose wild-type, recombinant and genetically modified ('tagged') enzymes were investigated concerning the influence of the protein concentration, the kind of support and the immobilization method. For both enzymes, the use of the recombinant proteins resulted in enhanced specific activities especially when using a hydrophilic support for immobilization such as Sepharose. In the case of a genetically modified hydantoinase carrying a His(6)-tag, affinity coupling led to a loss of activity of higher than 80%. Both enzymes were significantly stabilized by immobilization: In packed bed reactors, Eupergit C 250 L (NH(2))-immobilized hydantoinase and EAH-Sepharose-immobilized L-N-carbamoylase showed half-life times of approx. 14000 and 900 hours, respectively. Together with specific activities of the immobilized enzymes of 2.5 U/g wet carrier (hydantoinase) and 10 U/g wet carrier (L-N-carbamoylase) the newly developed biocatalysts are sufficient to fulfill industrial requirements.In comparison to the free enzymes, temperature and pH-optima were increased by 10 degrees C and one pH unit, respectively, after immobilization. The pH and temperature optima of the hydantoinase (L-N-carbamoylase) were determined to be pH 8.5-10 (pH 9.5) and 45-60 degrees C (60 degrees C).In order to provide sufficient amounts of biocatalyst for the process development in mini plant scale, a 50 fold scale-up of the optimized immobilization procedure was carried out for both enzymes. Because of the overlapping optima, both immobilized enzymes can be operated together in one reactor. 相似文献

There was an ionic interaction between acidic polysaccharides (APS) and proteins at the pH range in which APS were negatively charged and proteins were positively charged, and in enzymes the interaction was detected as a change in the enzyme activity. At pH 4.7, acid phosphatase (pI, 5.4), alpha-glucosidase (pI, 5.7), and beta-glucosidase (pI, 7.3) were inhibited by APS to various extents. On the other hand, alpha-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase (pI, 4.5) were not inhibited by APS at pH 6.8 and 9.8, respectively, most of these two enzymes being negatively charged at the respective pHs. Sulfated polysaccharides combined with hemoglobin (pI, 6.8 to approximately 7.0) by an ionic bond at pH 2 to make hemoglobin unsusceptible to proteolysis by pepsin, but polyuronides which were not charged at this pH did not affect hydrolysis of hemoglobin. 相似文献

The phospholipase A2 of Trimeresurus flavoviridis was found to show monomer-dimer equilibria. Under conditions where the enzyme exists predominantly in the monomeric form, the chemical reaction rate of p-bromophenacyl bromide (BPB) with the catalytic group, His 48, was studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.2 by measuring the residual enzymic activity using a fluorescent substrate, 1,2-bis[4-(1-pyreno)butanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (diPBPC). The pH-dependence curve of the reaction rate for the intact enzyme was practically the same as that for the modified enzyme, in which the N-terminal alpha-NH2 group had been selectively converted into an alpha-keto group. The pH-dependence curves were monophasic (sigmoidal) with a midpoint at pH 7.53, which corresponds to the pKa value of His 48. The pH dependences of the binding constants of Ca2+ to the intact and the alpha-NH2 modified enzymes were also studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.2 by measuring the changes in the tryptophyl fluorescence and/or aromatic CD spectra. The pH-dependence data for the modified enzyme were interpreted in terms of participation of Asp 49 (pKa 5.40) and His 48 (pKa 7.53), assuming that the protonation of Asp 49 competes with the Ca2+ binding. The pH-dependence data for the intact enzyme were similarly interpreted in terms of participation of the alpha-NH2 group (pKa 9.40) in addition to that of Asp 49 (pKa 5.40) and His 48 (pKa 7.53).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

It has been found that the enzymes penicillin G acylase from Escherichia coli (PGA) and lipase from Bacillus thermocatenulatus (BTL) did not significantly adsorb on highly activated amino-agarose beads at pH 7 (a support where 85–90% of a crude extract of proteins become adsorbed). Moreover, it has been found that these enzymes do not covalently immobilize on highly activated epoxy-agarose beads at pH 7. However, both enzymes slowly immobilize on heterofunctional supports having a high density of amino–epoxy groups. The immobilized enzymes retain a high percentage of activity (more than 90% for PGA and 60% for BTL). On the other hand, the immobilization of a crude extract of proteins on amino–epoxy supports under conditions where only a limited protein ionic exchange was permitted (by using high ionic strength or lowly activated supports), also permitted a similar high immobilization yield of the proteins. Similarly, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and β-galactosidase from Thermus thermophilus can be fully immobilized under conditions where less than 20% of these enzymes can be ionically exchanged in the aminated support. The results suggested that the percentage of proteins that may be physically adsorbed on the support becomes irreversibly immobilized by the covalent reaction between the nucleophilic groups in the protein surface and the very near epoxy groups of the support (in an almost intramolecular reaction). Thus, using these supports, it is possible to immobilize almost all the proteins by anionic exchange, that is, the area with the highest density in anionic groups. In many cases, this region could not correspond to the protein regions usually utilized to immobilize proteins. This way, it is possible to achieve, in a very simple fashion and without modifying the protein, new orientations of some immobilized enzymes and proteins. 相似文献

The availability of homogeneous samples of the potassium salts of L- and D-octan-2-yl sulphate has enabled the separation of the optically stereospecific CS1 and CS2 secondary alkysulphohydrolases from extracts of cells of Comamonas terrigena. The CS2 enzyme was purified to homogeneity, and an initial study was made of its general properties, specificity, cellular localization and relationship to the CS1 enzyme. The CS2 enzyme has a molecular weight of approx. 250000 and a subunit size of approx. 58000, indicating that the molecule is a tetramer. Under the experimental conditions used the enzyme appears to be specific for (+)-secondary alkyl sulphate esters with the sulphate group at C-2 and with a chain length of at least six carbons. Enzyme activity towards racemic C-2 sulphates increases with increasing chain length up to C10, and there is some indirect evidence to suggest that activity declines when that chain length is exceeded. Other indirect evidence confirms that the CS1 enzyme exhibits similar specificity, except that only (-)-isomers can serve as substrates. Both enzymes are present in broth-grown stationary-phase cells of C. terrigena in approximately equal amounts. 相似文献

The lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) was immobilized on octyl Sepharose and further modified with ethylenediamine (EDA) after activation of the carboxylic groups with carbodiimide. Different degrees of modification of the carboxyl groups were carried out by controlling the concentration of carbodiimide (10%, 50% or 100%). Subsequently, the effect of incubation of the modified preparations on hydroxylamine to recover the modified tyrosine was also studied. The modified enzymes exhibited a mobility in native electrophoresis quite different from that of the unmodified lipase (as expected by the changes in charge), and required higher concentrations of cationic detergent to become desorbed from the support. Interestingly, the chemical modification of the immobilized TLL produced an improvement in its activity, proportional to the amination degree. This increase in activity was much more significant at pH 10, where the fully modified preparation increased the activity by a factor of 10 as compared to the unmodified preparation. Moreover, the incubation of the chemically aminated preparations in a hydroxylamine solution improved the activity by an additional factor of 1.2. The fully aminated and incubated in hydroxylamine preparation exhibited a thermostability higher than that of the unmodified preparation, mainly at pH 5 (almost a 30 fold factor). In the presence of tetrahydrofurane, some stabilization was observed at pH 7, while at pH 9 the stability of the modified enzyme decreased (under all the assayed amination degrees) when compared to that of the unmodified enzyme. Thus, this simple protocol may be a rapid and efficient way of preparing a TLL biocatalyst with higher activity and stability, although this will depend on the inactivation conditions. 相似文献

New and strong ionic exchange resins have been prepared by the simple and rapid ionic adsorption of anionic polymers (sulfate-dextran) on porous supports activated with the opposite ionic group (DEAE/MANAE). Ionic exchange properties of such composites were strongly dependent on the size of the ionic polymers as well as on the conditions of the ionic coating of the solids with the ionic polymers (optimal conditions were 400 mg of sulfate-dextran 5000 kDa per gram of support). Around 80% of the proteins contained in crude extracts from Escherichia coli and Acetobacter turbidans could be adsorbed on these porous composites even at pH 7. This interaction was stronger than that using conventional carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and even others such as supports coated with aspartic-dextran polymer. By means of the sequential use of the new supports and supports coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI), all proteins from crude extracts could be immobilized. In fact, a large percentage (over 50%) could be immobilized on both supports. Finally, some industrially relevant enzymes (beta-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Thermussp. strain T2, lipases from Candida antarctica A and B, Candida rugosa, Rhizomucor miehei, and Rhyzopus oryzae and bovine pancreas trypsin and chymotrypsin) have been immobilized on these supports with very high activity recoveries and immobilization rates. After enzyme inactivation, the protein could be fully desorbed from the support, and then the support could be reused for several cycles. Moreover, in some instances the enzyme stability was significantly improved, mainly in the presence of organic solvents, perhaps as a consequence of the highly hydrophilic microenvironment of the support. 相似文献

Influence of chondroitin sulfate on collagen gel structure and mechanical properties at physiologically relevant levels 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The ability to alter collagen organization could lead to more physiologically relevant scaffolds for tissue engineering. This study examined collagen organization in the presence of polysaccharide and the resulting effects on viscoelastic properties. Fibrillogenesis in the presence of chondroitin sulfate (CS) resulted in changes in the collagen network organization with an increase in void space present. The increased void space caused by CS addition correlated with a decreased stiffness of the collagen gel. These changes occurred with physiologically relevant ratios of collagen to CS, at physiological pH and ionic strength, and without a decrease in the amount of collagen incorporated into fibrils. The addition of dextran, an uncharged polysaccharide, yielded no change in network void space or mechanical properties. Changes in fibril diameter caused by CS or dextran were not correlated with mechanical properties. The results of this study demonstrate that collagen organization can be modified by the addition of GAG, leading to altered matrix mechanical properties. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alcalase was scarcely immobilized on monoaminoethyl-N-aminoethyl (MANAE)-agarose beads at different pH values (<20% at pH 7). The enzyme did not immobilize on MANAE-agarose activated with glutaraldehyde at high ionic strength, suggesting a low reactivity of the enzyme with the support functionalized in this manner. However, the immobilization is relatively rapid when using low ionic strength and glutaraldehyde activated support. Using these conditions, the enzyme was immobilized at pH 5, 7, and 9, and in all cases, the activity vs. Boc-Ala-ONp decreased to around 50%. However, the activity vs. casein greatly depends on the immobilization pH, while at pH 5 it is also 50%, at pH 7 it is around 200%, and at pH 9 it is around 140%. All immobilized enzymes were significantly stabilized compared to the free enzyme when inactivated at pH 5, 7, or 9. The highest stability was always observed when the enzyme was immobilized at pH 9, and the worst stability occurred when the enzyme was immobilized at pH 5, in agreement with the reactivity of the amino groups of the enzyme. Stabilization was lower for the three preparations when the inactivation was performed at pH 5. Thus, this is a practical example on how the cooperative effect of ion exchange and covalent immobilization may be used to immobilize an enzyme when only one independent cause of immobilization is unable to immobilize the enzyme, while adjusting the immobilization pH leads to very different properties of the final immobilized enzyme preparation. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Polymeric nanoparticles have emerged as a promising approach for drug delivery systems. We prepared chitosan (CS)/sodium alginate (SAL) polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (CS/SAL NPs) via a simple and mild ionic gelation method by adding a CS solution to a SAL solution, and investigated the effects of molecular weight of the added CS, and the SAL:CS mass ratio on the formation of the polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles. The well-defined CS/SAL NPs with near-monodisperse particle size of about 160 nm exhibited a pH stable structure, and pH responsive properties with a negatively or positively charged surface. The so-called “electrostatic sponge” structure of the polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles enhanced their drug-loading capacity towards the differently charged model drug molecules, and favored controlled release. We also found that the drug-loading capacity was influenced by the nature of the drugs and the drug-loading media, while drug release was affected by the solubility of the drugs in the drug-releasing media. The biocompatibility and biodegradability of the polyelectrolytes in the polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles were maintained by ionic interactions. These results indicate that CS/SAL NPs can represent a useful technique for pH-responsive drug delivery systems. 相似文献

The pattern of the degradation of various double-stranded polyribonucleotides by several ribonucleases (bovine RNAase A and its cross-linked dimer, bovine seminal RNAase, and pike-whale pancreatic RNAase) has been studied as a function of ionic strength and pH. It appears that (1) there is no direct correlation between the secondary structure of double-stranded RNA and its resistance against enzymatic breakdown, i.e., the stability of the secondary structure of double-helical RNA is not the main variable in the process. (2) The acstivity responses of the enzymes examined to changes of ionic strength and pH suggest that enzymic degradation of double-stranded RNA is mainly controlled by ion concentration, and that the process may fall within the phenomena interpreted by the theory of the ionic control of biochemical reactions advanced by Douzou and Maurel (Douzou, P. and Maurel, P. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 1013--1015). (3) The activity curves of the enzyme studied show, at a given pH, a shift toward higher ionic strengths as a function of the basicity of the enzyme protein. This finding explains the already observed correlation between number and/or density of positive charges of a ribonuclease molecule and its ability to attack double-stranded RNA in 0.15 M sodium chloride/0.015 M sodium citrate (SSC). (4) A careful analysis of the influence of ionic strength and pH on the reaction appears to be necessary in order to characterize a ribonuclease which shows activity towards double-stranded RNAs, and to allow a meaningful comparison between different enzymes capable of attacking these substrates. 相似文献

A systematic study of the modification of papain (its thiol group protected as a disulphide with mercaptoethanol) by N-bromosuccinimide, showed that 2 molar equiv. modified tryptophan-69 and 4 molar equiv. modified tryptophan-69 and -177. The Michaelis parameters for the catalysed hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine p-nitrophenyl ester by these modified enzymes were determined. The enzymic activity of the modified enzymes was not seriously impaired, but modification of tryptophan-177 raised the apparent pK(a) of the acidic limb of the pH profile by more than 1 pH unit for both k(cat.) and k(cat.)/K(m). The fluorescence spectra (excitation at 288nm) of the modified enzymes showed that tryptophan-69 contributed about 8% to the fluorescence intensity, whereas tryptophan-177 contributed about 46% at neutral pH. However, the contribution of tryptophan-177 was quenched at low pH and its fluorescence intensity showed sigmoidal pH-dependence, with an apparent pK(a) of 4.2. Histidine-159, which is in close contact with tryptophan-177, is considered to be the residue responsible for the fluorescence quenching. When tryptophan-177 was modified, presumably generating a less hydrophobic micro-environment, the apparent pK(a) determined kinetically was raised to about 5.4. By comparing the Michaelis parameters of native papain, papain modified at tryptophan-69 and papain modified at tryptophan-69 and -177 with N-benzyloxycarbonylglycylglycine amide and N-benzyloxycarbonylglycyltryptophan amide, tryptophan-69 and tryptophan-177 were shown to be structural features of the S(2) and S(1)' subsites respectively. 相似文献

The pH dependence of the binding constant of Ca2+ to a phospholipase A2 of Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii, in which the alpha-amino group had been selectively modified to an alpha-keto group, was studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.1 by the tryptophyl fluorescence method. The dependence was compared with the results for the intact enzyme (Ikeda et al. (1981) J. Biochem. 90, 1125-1130). The pH-dependence curve could be well interpreted in terms of the participation of the two ionizable groups Asp 49 and His 48, with pK values of 4.70 and 6.69, respectively. These values were slightly different from the respective pK values for the intact enzyme, 5.15 and 6.45. Ca2+ binding to the intact enzyme involves the participation of an additional ionizable group with a pK value of 7.30, which was thus assigned as alpha-amino group. The pH dependence of the binding constant of monodispersed n-dodecylphosphorylcholine (n-C12PC) to the alpha-NH2-modified enzyme was studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.1 by the aromatic circular dichroism (CD) method. The pH-dependence curve for the modified apoenzyme was interpreted as reflecting the participation of a single ionizable group with a pK value of 4.7, which was assigned to Asp 49 (to which a Ca2+ ion can coordinate) since the curve for the Ca2+ complex lacked this transition: the binding constant was independent of pH. The pH-dependence curves for the intact apoenzyme and its Ca2+ complex involve the participation of an additional ionizable group with pK values of 7.30 and 6.30, respectively (Ikeda & Samejima (1981) J. Biochem. 90, 799-804), which was assigned as the alpha-amino group. The hydrolysis of monodispersed 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (diC6PC), catalyzed by the intact and the alpha-NH2-modified enzymes was studied by the pH stat method at 25 degrees C, pH 8.2, and ionic strength 0.1 in the presence of 3 mM Ca2+. The Km value for the modified enzyme was found to be very similar to that for the intact enzyme: this was compatible with the results of the direct binding study on the monodispersed n-C12PC under the same conditions. However, the kcat value was about 43% of the value for the intact enzyme, suggesting that the alpha-keto group introduced by the chemical modification perturbed the network of hydrogen bonds in the active site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

A cross-linked modification of Taka-amylase A (TAA) by o-phthalaldehyde gave two enzymes, M1- and M2-TAA, which had optimum pH lower than that of native TAA by 0.5 to 1.0 pH units. The modified enzymes showed higher maltosidase activity, and produced glucose even at the initial period of hydrolysis, in contrast to the native TAA. The modification caused more than a 500-fold decrease in the k0 value of native TAA for alpha-amylase activity, but a definite increase in k0 value of 109. 1 min-1 (native TAA) to 460.0 min-1 (M1-TAA) and 147.1 min-1 (M2-TAA) for maltotriose was evidence for improvement of maltosidase activity of modified enzymes. 相似文献
