KINETICS OF P - NITROPHENYL ACETATE HYDROLYSIS CATALYZED BY α- CHYMOTRYPSIN IN PRESENCE OF POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL

The effect of poly (ethyleneglycol) (PEG) addition on the rate of p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA) catalyzed by a- chymotrypsin has been measured in TRIS buffer at pH = 7.4. The presence of PEG (up to 30 % p/v) leads to an increase in the rate of the process. The effect of PEG is evident both, in the pr...
