POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL EFFECT ON THE TRANSIENT AND STEADY STATE PHASES OF P-NITROPHENYLTRIMETHYL ACETATE HYDROLYSIS CATALYZED BY α-CHYMOTRYPSIN

The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the hydrolytic activity of α-chymotrypsin has been studied using p-nitrophenyltrimethyl acetate (PNTMA) as substrate. This substrate requires long times to reach the steady state condition, allowing the measurement by conventional methods of the fa...
