In this study, papain was immobilized on chitosan with Mg(II) cosslinked agent. Studies on free and immobilized papain systems for determination of optimum pH, optimum temperatur, thermal stability and reusability were carried out. The results showed that free papain had optimum pH 6.5 and optimum temperature 55 °C while the immobile papain hadoptimum pH 8 and optimum temperature 80 °C. The thermal stability of the immobilized papain, relative to that of the free papain, was markedly increased. The immobilized papain can be reused for at least six times.   Keywords: papain, immobilization, chitosan

Enzyme immobilization is a recovery technique that has been studied in several years, using support as a media to help enzyme dissolutions to the reaction substrate. Immobilization method used in this study was adsorption method, using specific lipase fromAspergillus oryzae. Lipase was partially purified from the culture supernatant ofAspergillus oryzae. Enzyme was immobilized by adsorbed on silica gel. Studies on free and immobilized lipase systems for determination of optimum pH, optimum temperature, thermal stability and reusability were carried out. The results showed that free lipase had optimum pH 8,2 and optimum temperature 35 °C while the immobilized lipase had optimum 8,2 and optimum temperature 45 °C. The thermal stability of the immobilized lipase, relative to that of the free lipase, was markedly increased. The immobilized lipase can be reused for at least six times.

The objective of this research was screening of pectinesterase (PE) producing bacteria which are potential in clarification of keprok garut citrus juice (Citrus nobilis var microcarpa) and characterization of the resulted pectinesterase (optimum pH and temperature, pH and thermal stability, KM and Vmaks). The screening result showed that enzyme of isolates AR2, AR 4, AR 6, and KK 2 was found to be a potential enzyme for clarification of keprok garut citrus juice. Enzyme pektinesterase of isolates AR 2, AR 4, AR 6, and KK 2 had optimum pH at 8; 7.5; 8.5; and 6.5 and stable at pH 4-9, 4-9, 6-9, and 3-8. The optimum temperature enzyme of isolates AR 2 and AR 6 were 55ºC and that of AR 4 and KK 2 were 60ºC. Enzyme of isolate AR 2 was stable at 30-50ºC and inactive at 80ºC, AR 4 and KK 2 were stable at 30-60ºC and inactive at 90ºC whereas AR6 was stable at 30-60ºC and still wasn’t inactive at 90ºC. KM value of isolates AR 2, AR 4, AR 6, and KK 2 were 0.604; 0.338; 0.971; and 0.392 mg/ml. Vmaks value of isolates AR 2, AR 4, AR 6, and KK 2 were 1.218; 0.826; 0.969; and 1.080 u/ml. Pectinesterase enzyme of isolates KK 2 was found to be the most potential enzyme for clarification of keprok garut citrus juice.Keywords: Clarification, enzyme, keprok garut citrus, pectin, pectinesterase ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan screening bakteri penghasil enzim pektinesterase (PE) yang berpotensi dalam proses klarifikasi sari buah jeruk keprok garut (Citrus nobilis var microcarpa) serta mengetahui karakteristik enzim pektinesterase yang dihasilkan (pH optimum, suhu optimum, kestabilan pH dan suhu, serta nilai KMdan Vmaks).

Abstract This study investigated a novel procedure of Solanum aethiopicum Shum fruits extract (SASFE) preparation using multivariate experimental designs as factorial and Box–Behnken. The thermal stability of optimized extract as well as its influence on the milk solids in curd was determined. The results showed that extraction time, fruit maturity and pH did not affect significantly SASFE preparation, while the amount of fruits, extraction temperature and NaCl concentration of extractant had a significant effect (p < 0.05). The greatest coagulant index was obtained under the following conditions: 12.5% of fruits, 25°C of extraction temperature and 4% NaCl concentration of extractant. It was thermosensitive and exhibited optimum temperature at 50°C. There was no statistical difference between SASFE and calf rennet in terms of solids yield in curd, estimated yield and actual yield. On the basis of these results, SASFE can be used as a vegetable alternative to calf rennet.

1. Homogenates of cultured skin fibroblasts derived from patients with α-l-iduronidase-deficiency disorders (Hurler and Scheie syndromes) were capable of hydrolysing iduronosyl anhydro-[l-3H]mannitol 6-sulphate although at considerably reduced rates compared with normal controls. 2. The Vmax. values of α-l-iduronidase from patients with Hurler or Scheie syndromes and from normal controls were 11, 12 and 833 pmol min−1 mg−1 of protein respectively; the corresponding apparent Km values were 656, 50 and 53 μmol/l respectively. The α-l-iduronidases from normal and Scheie fibroblast homogenates were shown to exhibit pH optima at 3·6 and 4·1 and were competitively inhibited by both chloride and sulphate ions: Hurler α-l-iduronidase activity exhibited one pH optimum at 3·8 and was also inhibited by chloride and to a lesser extent by sulphate ions. 3. The thermal stability of Hurler, Scheie and normal α-l-iduronidase activities at 55°C gave half-lives of approximately 1·0, 2·5 and 1·0 h respectively. 4. These biochemical findings clearly demonstrate enzyme differences for these two clinically distinct phenotypes and provide biochemical evidence that the Hurler and Scheie syndromes result from different allelic mutations.

Alcohol dehydrogenase isolated from broad bean was found to have a Km value of 1.0 × 1.0 -2 M, a pH optimum of 8.7 and a molecular weight of 60 000 � 5000. The enzyme lost 55 % of its activity after being heated at 55�C, and was totally inactivated at 70°C. Thermal stability of the enzyme was not enhanced by NAD+ or ethanol. The substrate specificity of the enzyme is reported. Cysteine and mercaptoethanol activated the enzyme, whilep-chloromercuribenzoate, Cu2+, Hg2+, B4O72- -, Zn2+ and EDTA inhibited it. The influence of ethanol, acetaldehyde and growth substances on alcohol dehydrogenase activity in germinating broad bean seeds and plant tissues was also studied.

A new method of purification of rat liver L-threonine deaminase has been developed, and the results obtained are compared with values obtained by other authors. Some properties of this enzyme (pH optimum, temperature optimum, thermal stability, specificity, etc.) have been examined and we found that the enzyme is inhibited by carbonate ions, that L-cysteine (a competitive inhibitor) is also an inactivator of the enzyme and that it is bound to the enzyme in a ratio of 0.25 mole of cysteine per mole of enzyme, supporting the hypothesis that the enzyme consists of 4 subunits.
