Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource Chromatofocusing separated alfalfa amylase to a homogeneous state.
- Observation Purified alfalfa amylase was identified as beta-amylase because soluble starch degradation formed only beta-maltose.
- Observation Alfalfa beta-amylase had molecular weight 61,000.
- Observation Alfalfa beta-amylase had specific activity 1,077 A.U./mg.
- Intervention effect Modification of sulfhydryl groups with p-chloromercuribenzoic acid inhibited alfalfa beta-amylase activity.
- Observation Alfalfa beta-amylase had optimum pH 7.0.
