Paper Electrophoretic Studies on the Diastatic Enzymes of Molds

Part II. Further Studies on the Properties of the Mold Diastatic Enzymes

Abstract

The components of mold diastatic enzymes which were successfully separated from one another on a filter paper by the paper electrophoretic technique were extracted with water, and the resulting enzyme solutions were tested with starch and maltose as substrates. By determining the reaction products, the author attempted a specula-tion on the actual nature of each component enzyme.
