Abstract

1. 1. Lactase activity is present in the particulate fraction obtained upon cnetrifugation of a homogenate of monkey kidney at 100 000 σ g for 60 min and could be solubilized by treatment with papain. The solubilized enzyme has been purified about 60-fold, and its properties have been studied. 2. 2. Lactose was the most active among a variety of substrates tested. Cellobiose and salicin showed, respectively, 20 and 16% of the activity using lactose. Other hetero-β-glucoside and -β-galactosides showed negligible activity. The purified lactase is strongly inhibited by glucono-(1 → 5)-lactone, while galactone-(1 → 4)-lactone inhibited to a much smaller extent.
