Abstract: | Summary The glucoamylase preparation of Aspergillus niger 19 inhibited the raw starch digestion by it at high enzyme concentration. The inhibitory factor (IF) was isolated from the glucoamylase preparation by heat treatment and purified by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography, an initial Sephadex G-50 gel filtration followed by SP-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography (twice) and then second Sephadex G-50 gel filtration. The IF thus purified was homogenous in polyacrylamide gel electrophories. The inhibitory activity of IF increased with the increasing IF concentration but decreased with an increasing quantity of raw starch or enzyme concentration. The IF had no effect on the hydrolysis of boiled soluble starch. It was completely adsorbed onto raw starch. The IF had a molecular weight of about 10,500. It was abundant in hydroxy amino acids such as threonine and serine. Xylose, mannose, glucose, galactose, and galacturonic acid were present in it. |
