A simple procedure was devised which allows purification of rat lactating-mammary-gland fatty acid synthase to a high degree of purity, with recoveries of activity exceeding 50%. Over 50 mg of enzyme was isolated from 60 g of mammary tissue. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was about 2.5 mumol of NADPH oxidized/min per mg of protein at 37 degrees. The enzyme appeared homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and by immunodiffusion analysis. Each mol (Mr 480 000) of the enzyme bound 3 mol of acetyl and 3-4 mol of malonyl groups when the binding experiments were performed at 0 degrees for 30 s. The presence of NADPH did not influence the binding stoicheiometry for these acyl-CoA derivatives. Approx. 2 mol of taurine was found per mol of the performic acid-oxidized enzyme, suggesting that there were 2 mol of 4'-phosphopantetheine in the native enzyme. Rat mammary-gland fatty acid synthase required free CoA for activity. 相似文献

A basic (pI = 10.2) phospholipase A2 of the venom of the snake Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii is one of a few phospholipases A2 capable of hydrolyzing the phospholipids of Escherichia coli killed by a bactericidal protein purified from human or rabbit neutrophil granules. We have shown that modification of as many as 4 mol of lysine per mole of the phospholipase A2, either by carbamylation or by reductive methylation [Forst, S., Weiss, J., & Elsbach, P. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14055-14057], had no effect on catalytic activity toward extracted E. coli phospholipids or the phospholipids of autoclaved E. coli. In contrast, modification of 1 mol of lysine per mole of enzyme substantially reduced activity toward the phospholipids of E. coli killed by the neutrophil protein. To explore further the role of lysines in the function of this phospholipase A2, we determined the amino acid sequence of the enzyme and the incorporation of [14C]cyanate into individual lysines when, on average, 1 lysine per molecule of enzyme had been carbamylated. After incorporation of approximately 1 mol of [14C]cyanate per mole of protein, the phospholipase A2 was reduced, alkylated, and exhaustively carbamylated with unlabeled cyanate. The amino acid sequence was determined of the NH2-terminal 33 amino acids of the holoprotein and of peptides isolated after digestion with trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease. The protein contains 122 amino acid residues, 17 of which are lysines. The NH2-terminal region is unique among more than 30 phospholipases A2 previously sequenced because of its high content of basic residues (His-1, Arg-6, and Lys-7, -10, -11, and -15).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Mucor pusillus acid protease was rapidly inactivated with 1 : 1 stoichiometry by reaction with diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester (DAN) in the presence of cupric ions. Cupric ions were essential for this inactivation. The rate of inactivation was maximal at around pH 6 when the enzyme was mixed with DAN and cupric ions without prior mixing of the reagents, and at pH 5.3 when DAN and cupric ions were mixed and incubated before addition to the enzyme solution. In both cases, the rate of inactivation decreased as the pH was either increased or decreased. The amino acid composition of an acid hydrolysate of the DAN-Modified enzyme was indistinguishable from that of the native enzyme except for the incorporation of about one norleucine residue per molecule of protein. The enzyme was also inactivated by reaction with 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)-propane (EPNP). At the stage of about 90% inactivation, 1.50 residues of EPNP were incorporated per molecule of protein and the rate of inactivation followed pseudo-first order kinetics. The optimal pH for the inactivation was pH 3.0 and the rate of inactivation decreased as the pH was either increased or decreased. Furthermore, the enzyme was strongly inhibited by pepstatin, and the reactions of DAN and of EPNP was also inhibited significantly by prior treatment of the enzyme with pepstatin. These results suggest that the enzyme may have two essential carboxyl groups at the active site, one reactive with DAN in the presence of cupric ions and the other with EPNP, and that pepstatin binds part of the active site to inhibit the reactions with DAN and EPNP as well as the enzyme activity. 相似文献

A tailor-made glycidyl methacrylate-divinyl benzene (GMA-DVB) copolymer PC-3 was evolved by studying the effect of synthesis variables on binding and expression of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) from Aspergillus species strain 020. Almost quantitative binding (100%) and a high yield of immobilization per unit of enzyme loaded was achieved. Optimum pH, optimum temperature and K(m)95% was achieved by using 3% (w/v) solution of ceph C, 48 U of DAAO per g of ceph C, keeping dissolved oxygen level above 50%, maintaining the pH between 7.6 and 7.8 and temperature at 24 degrees C. The immobilized DAAO was used for 60 cycles in a stirred tank reactor. 相似文献

D-Amino acid aminotransferase, purified to homogeneity and crystallized from Bacillus sphaericus, has a molecular weight of about 60,000 and consists of two subunits identical in molecular weight (30,000). The enzyme exhibits absorption maxima at 280, 330, and 415 nm, which are independent of the pH (5.5 to 10.0), and contains 2 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate per mol of enzyme. One of the pyridoxal-5'-P, absorbing at 415 nm, is bound in an aldimine linkage to the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue of the protein, and is released by incubation with phenylhydrazine to yield the catalytically inactive form. The inactive form, which is reactivated by addition of pyridoxal 5'phosphate, still has a 330 nm peak and contains 1 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Therefore, this form is regarded as a semiapoenzyme. The holoenzyme shows negative circular dichroic bands at 330 and 415 nm. D-Amino acid aminotransferase catalyzes alpha transamination of various D-amino acids and alpha-keto acids. D-Alanine, D-alpha-aminobutyrate and D-glutamate, and alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, and alpha-ketobutyrate are the preferred amino donors and acceptors, respectively. The enzyme activity is significantly affected by both the carbonyl and sulfhydryl reagents. The Michaelis constants are as follows: D-alanine (1.3 and 4.2 mM with alpha-ketobutyrate and alpha-ketoglutarate, respictively), alpha-ketobutyrate (14 mM withD-alanine), alpha-ketoglutarate (3.4 mM with D-alanine), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (2.3 muM) and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (25 muM). 相似文献

β-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.2), obtained from barley, was chemically attached to a crosslinked copolymer of acrylamide-acrylic acid using a water-soluble carbodiimide. The derivative showed 23% β-amylase activity in relation to that of free enzyme with a coupling yield of 40% based on the amount of added β-amylase. In order to find optimal coupling conditions, the effect of pH and different carbodiimide concentrations was investigated. The enzymic activity associated with different β-amylase concentrations was further outlined. A slightly increased operational stability for the enzyme upon immobilization was observed. Markedly improved operational stability has been obtained by coupling in the presence of reduced glutathione of bovine serum albumin. 相似文献

An acid protease produced by the thermophilic fungus Penicillium duponti K 1014 has been purified by consecutive ion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography, and crystallized from aqueous acetone solution. The purified endopeptidase gave a symmetrical schlieren peak by sedimentation velocity, and was found to be homogeneous upon disc gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5. The enzyme was most active at pH 2.5 against milk casein and showed high thermostability. An isoelectric point of 3.81 was found by isoelectric focusing. A minimum molecular weight of 41 590 was calculated from the amino acid composition, adopting an arginine content of one residue per mole of enzyme. This minimum molecular weight is in good agreement with the value of 41 000 previously found by gel permeation (Hashimoto, H., Iwaasa, T., and Yokotsuka, T. (1973), Appl. Microbiol. 25, 578). Besides the thermostability, the purified P. duponti protease differs from other well-characterized acid proteases in that it contains carbohydrate, 4.33% expressed as glucose. The enzyme was not affected by p-bromophenacyl bromide, but was completely inactivated by alpha-diazo-p-bromoacetophenone, diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester, and diazoacetylglycine ethyl ester, in the presence of Cu2+. The complete inactivation of the protease by diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester resulted in the specific incorporation of 1 mol of norleucine/mol of enzyme. On the basis of similar behavior of other acid proteases toward this inactivator, the results suggest the presence at the active site of an unusually reactive carboxyl group, involved in the catalytic function. The naturally occurring pepsin inhibitor of Streptomyces naniwaensis [Murao, S., and Satoi, S. (1970), Agric. Biol. Chem. 34, 1265] inhibited also the protease, at a threefold molar excess with respect to the enzyme. 相似文献

Protein hydrolysate was prepared from pre-treated sheep visceral mass (including stomach, large and small intestines) by enzymatic treatment at 43+/-1 degrees C (at the in situ pH 7.1+/-0.2 of the visceral mass) using fungal protease. The enzyme readily solubilized the proteins of the visceral mass as indicated by the degree of hydrolysis (34%) and nitrogen recovery (>64%). Hydrolysis with an enzyme level of 1% (w/w of total solids) at 43+/-1 degrees C with a pH around 7.0 for 45 min was found to be the optimum condition. The yield of protein hydrolysate was about 6% (w/w). The amino acid composition of the protein hydrolysate that was very hygroscopic, was comparable to that of casein. 相似文献

Highly charged water-soluble conjugates of amyloglucosidase with a copolymer of ethylene-maleic acid or styrene-maleic acid were prepared and adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose and other cationic resins. Negatively charged enzyme conjugates were also obtained by means of succinylation. The polyanionic conjugates of amyloglucosidase adsorbed on the cationic carriers show higher temperature stability than the native enzyme adsorbed on the same carriers under the same experimental conditions. The insoluble enzyme conjugate-carrier complexes could be reused and retained their full activity while working continuously for three weeks. The application of the insoluble enzyme preparations with the above characteristics which could possibly satisfy the requirements for industry are discussed. 相似文献

Native-feather degradation by Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a newly isolated keratinase-producing thermophilic anaerobe 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

A native-feather-degrading thermophilic anaerobe was isolated from a geothermal hot stream in Indonesia. Isolate AW-1, identified as a member of the species Fervidobacterium islandicum, was shown to degrade native feathers (0.8%, w/v) completely at 70 degrees C and pH 7 with a maximum specific growth rate (0.14 h(-1)) in Thermotoga- Fervidobacterium(TF) medium. After 24 h of culture, feather degradation led to an increase in free amino acids such as histidine, cysteine and lysine. Moreover, nutritionally essential amino acids such as tryptophan and methionine, which are rare in feather keratin, were also produced as microbial metabolites. A homomultimeric membrane-bound keratinolytic protease (>200 kDa; 97 kDa subunits) was purified from a cell extract of F. islandicum AW-1. The enzyme exhibited activity toward casein and soluble keratin optimally at 100 degrees C and pH 9, and had a half-life of 90 min at 100 degrees C. The enzyme showed higher specific activity for the keratinous substrates than other proteases and catalyzed the cleavage of peptide bonds more rapidly following the reduction of disulfide bridges in feather keratin by 10 mM dithiothreitol. Therefore, the enzyme from F. islandicum AW-1 is a novel, thermostable keratinolytic serine protease. 相似文献

In this study, some parameters for the production and caseinolytic activity of an extracellular thermostable acid protease from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium were determined. The highest level of growth and enzyme production were detected at pH 3.0 over an incubation period of 192 h at 60 degrees C. The pH optimum for the acid protease activity was 3.0 and the enzyme was fairly stable over a broad pH range (pH 3.0-8.0). The temperature for maximum activity of the enzyme was 55 degrees C and activity remained stable between 50 degrees C and 70 degrees C. These features could be of relevance for various biotechnological applications of this enzyme. Serine-(PMSF), cysteine-(DTT), metallo-(EDTA) and aspartate-(pepstatin) protease inhibitors did not inhibit the caseinolytic activity of the enzyme. Therefore, Tp. volcanium acid protease could be a member of the pepstatin-insensitive carboxyl proteinases. 相似文献

Protease-free bovine pancreatic deoxyribonuclease (DNase) (1.6 X 10(-4) mmol) was thiolated on the NH2 groups with N-acetyl-DL-homocysteine thiolactone (2.4 X 10(-2) mmol) at pH 10.5 with imidazole (2.4 X 10(-2) mmol) as the catalyst in the presence of 4,4'-dithiodipyridine (4.2 X 10(-2) mmol). The product obtained after 16 h at 4 degrees C, 2-acetamido-4-(4'-dithiopyridyl)butyryl-DNase, isolated by gel filtration, contained an average of 0.87 +/- 0.13 mol of mixed disulfide per mol of DNase. Ribonuclease (RNase) was thiolated in a similar manner, but under N2 in the absence of 4,4'-dithiodipyridine. The protein N-acetylhomocysteinyl-RNase contained on the average 0.94 +/- 0.11 mol of sulfhydryl groups per mol of RNase. The coupling of RNase ot DNase was accomplished by thiol-disulfide interchange at pH 6.2 and 25 degrees C for 90 min. The hybrid enzyme (yield 25--33%, based upon the DNase derivative used) was freed from unreacted DNase, RNase, and homodimers by gel filtration, affinity chromatography, and salting-out chromatography. The purified enzyme contained one molecule each of DNase and RNase and hydrolyzed thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and yeast or transfer ribonucleic acid (RNA) with 75 and 40% of the efficiencies, respectively, of the parent enzymes. The RNA strand of the hybrid substrate, phage f1 DNA-[3H]RNA, prepared from phage DNA with RNA polymerase, was hydrolyzed rapidly by the hybrid enzyme but was not hydrolyzed by RNase alone. A conjugate of the two enzymes offers the possibility in vivo of delivering two enzymes that differ in size, charge, and biological function to the same site at the same time. 相似文献

We found a zinc content of 1 atom per mol in 56K protease (produced by the gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens kums 3958) by the neutron activation method. Selective removal of the functional zinc ion from 56K protease with 10 mM tetraethylenepentamine (TEP) in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 at room temperature at pH 8.0 resulted in complete loss of the enzyme activity without affecting the lambda max of the enzyme, but with a 10% decrease in fluorescence intensity. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 10 mM gave similar results at pH 5.0, but produced a 30% decrease in fluorescence intensity. Melting profile experiments carried out by monitoring the fluorescence intensity at 333 nm showed a melting temperature (Tm) of about 61.0, 62.5, and 60.0 degrees C at pH 5.0, 7.0, and 8.0, respectively. Tm became much lower upon removal of the zinc ion, falling to 42.5 degrees C with 10 mM TEP or to 47.5 degrees C with 10 mM EDTA in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2. The CD data showed very little change in conformation upon removal of the zinc ion under physiological conditions, but the conformation appears to be readily disrupted to a denatured form by changing either temperature or pH or by exposure to denaturants. These results suggest that a single zinc ion is essential for the enzyme function and contributes to the conformational integrity of the enzyme, but tryptophan residues appear to be not directly related to the enzyme activity. 相似文献

Characterization of 73 kDa thiol protease from Serratia marcescens and its effect on plasma proteins 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The 73-kDa protease (73K protease) was purified from a clinical isolate of Serratia marcescens kums 3958. The purified protease appeared homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol. The protease is active in a broad pH range with maximum activity at pH 7.5-8.0. The protease appeared to be a thiol protease, since it was inhibited by sulfhydryl reactive compounds such as p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, fluorescein mercuric acetate (FMA), iodoacetamide, and N-ethylmaleimide, and the protease activity was enhanced by various reducing agents such as cysteine, glutathione, 2-mercaptoethanol, and dithiothreitol. The protease contained 2 mol of free sulfhydryl residues per mol of protease. When the protease was reacted with FMA, a maximum of 2 mol of FMA per mol of enzyme was found reacted, based on fluorescence quenching in which the enzyme inactivation was paralleled linearly with the loss of both SH groups. This indicates possible equal involvement of the two thiol groups for the enzyme activity. The inactivation of the protease by FMA was partially restored by a dialysis in the presence of cysteine or dithiothreitol. The protease was not inhibited by high molecular weight kininogen but was inhibited by alpha 2-macroglobulin. The protease bound stoichiometrically to alpha 2-macroglobulin with 1:1 molar ratio and 25% activity remained constant even after the addition of 4 molar excess of alpha 2-macroglobulin. The protease extensively degraded IgG, IgA, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and alpha 1-protease inhibitor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Extracellular caseinolytic activity was found in the culture fluid of Streptococcus sanguis ATCC 10556 grown in a dialyzed culture medium. This activity was due to multiple proteases that differed in their elution from hydroxyapatite, sensitivity to enzyme inhibitors, specificity and optimum pH. IgA protease, which splits human immunoglobulin A1 into intact Fc and Fab could be effectively separated from these relatively non-specific proteases and purified to apparent homogeneity in 20% yield by a five-step procedure. Although the bulk of the dextran sucrase activity was separated from the IgA protease, a small amount of sucrase activity remained with the final IgA protease preparation. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5 both activities were located in the single protein band detected in this preparation. A quantitative method for the assay of IgA protease was developed, based on radial immunodiffusion to quantitate the Fab produced. This was used to follow the specific activity and yield during purification, and to characterize some of the catalytic properties of the enzyme. At an enzyme/substrate ratio of 1: 400 (w/w) the protease could effect 50% proteolysis of IgA in overnight incubation at 37 degrees C. The optimum activity was at pH 8.0, and 50% inhibition was achieved at 4 . 10(-4) M o-phenanthroline or 8 . 10(-4) M ethylene diamine tetraacetate. Concentrations of diisopropyl phosphofluoridate, phenylmethyl-sulfonyl fluoride, iodoacetate and p-chloromercuribenzoate up to 10(-2) M were without effect on the IgA protease activity. Full reactivation of the chelator inhibited enzyme could be achieved by the addition of Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+. 相似文献

Acetylene hydratase of the mesophilic fermenting bacterium Pelobacter acetylenicus catalyzes the hydration of acetylene to acetaldehyde. Growth of P. acetylenicus with acetylene and specific acetylene hydratase activity depended on tungstate or, to a lower degree, molybdate supply in the medium. The specific enzyme activity in cell extract was highest after growth in the presence of tungstate. Enzyme activity was stable even after prolonged storage of the cell extract or of the purified protein under air. However, enzyme activity could be measured only in the presence of a strong reducing agent such as titanium(III) citrate or dithionite. The enzyme was purified 240-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, and a second anion-exchange chromatography step, with a yield of 36%. The protein was a monomer with an apparent molecular mass of 73 kDa, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point was at pH 4.2. Per mol of enzyme, 4.8 mol of iron, 3.9 mol of acid-labile sulfur, and 0.4 mol of tungsten, but no molybdenum, were detected. The Km for acetylene as assayed in a coupled photometric test with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and NADH was 14 microM, and the Vmax was 69 mumol.min-1.mg of protein-1. The optimum temperature for activity was 50 degrees C, and the apparent pH optimum was 6.0 to 6.5. The N-terminal amino acid sequence gave no indication of resemblance to any enzyme protein described so far. 相似文献

When the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium, PS3, was inactivated by 90% with 7-chloro-4-nitro[14C]benzofurazan ([14C]Nbf-Cl) at pH 7.3 and then gel-filtered, 1.25 mols of [14C]Nbf-O-Tyr and less than 0.1 mol of Nbf-N-Lys were formed per mol of enzyme. After adjusting the pH of the gel-filtered, modified enzyme to 9.0 and incubating it for 14 hrs. at 23 degrees C to promote O----N migration, 0.68 mol of Nbf-N-Lys were formed per mol of enzyme while about 16% of the original activity reappeared. Isolation of the subunits after the O----N migration showed that 90% of the incorporated 14C was present in the beta subunit, which contained 0.21 mols of [14C]Nbf-N-Lys per mol. A tryptic peptide which contained the majority of the 14C incorporated into the beta subunit was isolated and subjected to automatic amino acid sequence analysis contained 38 residues. The amino acid sequence immediately around the lysine residue labeled with [14C]Nbf-, K*, was found to be: ...I-G-L-F-G-G-A-G-V-G-K*-T-V-L-I-G... . 相似文献

The binding stoichiometry of tRNATrp and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.2) from beef is examined by three approaches, under pH conditions of maximum activity (pH 8.0). (1) Analytical ultracentrifugation evidences the binding of a single mol of tRNATrp in a 2.5-10 microM concentration range. (2) tRNATrp quenches the fluorescence of the enzyme. The dependence of this fluorescence quenching on the tRNATrp concentration (0.1-4 microM) reflects also the binding of 1 mol of tRNA per mol of enzyme, with a Kd value of 0.19 +/- 0.02 microM. (3) tRNATrp protects the enzyme against derivatization by oxidized ATP. Out of the two fast-reacting lysine residues of the native enzyme, only one is prevented from reacting by tRNATrp in the 0.5-110 microM concentration range. This protection can be significantly analyzed only by assuming a one-to-one complex between the enzyme and tRNA. These results, obtained at pH 8.0 and 25 degrees C, are in contrast with the stoichiometry of 2 mol of tRNA to 1 mol of enzyme, previously observed at pH 6.0 and 4 degrees C. 相似文献

A new protease was isolated from an extract of leaves of Agave americana variegata. The protease (EC 3.4.-) was purified 565-fold with a yield of 39.5%. The 43.8 mg enzyme had a specific activity of 0.44 units/mg. According to electrophoretic, ultracentrifugal and other physical characterizations the enzyme was homogeneous. The enzyme had a MR of 57000, a S20,W-value of 4.37 S, a D20, W-value of 6.8-7.0 - 10(-7) cm2sec-1, a Stokes radius of 3.18 nm, a partial specific volume of 0.735 cm3g-1, a frictional ration of 1.25, a molecular absorbancy index at 280 nm of 5.773-10(4), an isoelectric point of 5.25 and contained 8-10% carbohydrate. The enzyme contained no cysteine. Agave protease could hydrolyze a variety of protein substrates although it did have a restricted specificity. It is not a sulphhydryl protease but seems to be an alkaline "serine" protease with an optimum pH of 7.8-8.0 Agave protease had marked esterolytic activity and with Cbz-Tyr-ONp had an apparent Michaelis constant of 0.0345 -10(-3) M and a V of 1.24 mol substrate/mol enzyme per sec. The enzyme did not need metal ions for optimal activity, monovalent cations did not influence its kinetic parameters, but it was inhibited by cobalt, pC1HgBzO- and TosPheCH2C1. With respect to its primary specificity, as well as its pH-dependence there was a resemblance with chymotrypsin, although the rate of hydrolysis of Agave protease is much lower. 相似文献

Extracellular acid and alkaline proteases from Candida olea 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Candida olea 148 secreted a single acid protease when cultured at acidic pH. In unbuffered medium, the culture pH eventually became alkaline and a single alkaline protease was produced. This was the only proteolytic enzyme produced when the organism was grown in buffered medium at alkaline pH. Both proteolytic enzymes were purified to homogeneity (as assessed by SDS-PAGE). The Mr of the acid protease was 30900, the isoelectric point 4.5; optimum activity against haemoglobin was at 42 degrees C and pH 3.3. This enzyme was inactivated at temperatures above 46 degrees C and was inhibited by either pepstatin and diazoacetyl-norleucine methyl ester but was insensitive to inhibition by either 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)-propane or compounds known to inhibit serine, thiol or metallo proteases. The acid protease contained 11% carbohydrate. The alkaline protease had an Mr of 23400 and isoelectric point of 5.4. The activity of this enzyme using azocoll as substrate above 42 degrees C and was inhibited by phenylmethyl-sulphonyl fluoride and irreversible inactivated by EDTA. The enzyme was also partially inhibited by DTT but was insensitive to either pepstatin or p-chloromercuribenzoic acid. 相似文献
