| Abstract: | A protein isolated from maize scutella which inhibits catalase in vitro has been shown to contain 12% carbohydrate in the form of galactose. This corresponds to four galactose molecules per inhibitor subunit. Removal of the carbohydrate with β-galactosidase or blockage with a galactose-specific lectin abolished activity of the inhibitor. |
