Abstract

An Alteration in the Reactivity of Chymotrypsin and Trypsin towards Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Specific Substrates

Highlights

  • N-acetylcysteamine (20,000 d.p.m.), 0.25 mg of hydroxylapatitepurified dehydrase, and buffer in a final volume of 1.0 ml

  • % 20.7-26.5 20.0 26.2 48.3 50.2 lengthening [6], it follows that the E. coli synthetase contains at least two dehydrases

  • We conclude that this dehydrase accounts for the formation of cisvaccenic acid by the E. coli synthetase and that it is the key enzyme which is responsible for the anaerobic synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids by certain bacterial systems

Summary

TABLE I

Dependence of total dehydration and dehydrase specijicity on phosphate buffer concentration. N-acetylcysteamine (20,000 d.p.m.), 0.25 mg of hydroxylapatitepurified dehydrase, and buffer in a final volume of 1.0 ml. After incubation at 30” for 30 minutes, the thioesters were saponified by the addition of 0.5 ml of 1 N NaOH, followed by incubation at 30” for 10 minutes. After acidification and extraction with ether, the products were separated from 3-C14-3-hydroxydecanoic acid by silicic acid chromatography. Trans-2- and 3-Decenoic acids were separated by gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters on a polyethylene glycol succinate column operated at 110” After acidification and extraction with ether, the products were separated from 3-C14-3-hydroxydecanoic acid by silicic acid chromatography. trans-2- and 3-Decenoic acids were separated by gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters on a polyethylene glycol succinate column operated at 110”
