The proteolytic enzymes of sprouted wheat. III

Abstract

IN a previous communication the author [1936] has described some of the principal characteristics of a proteinase and a dipeptidase which appear in the aqueous extracts of germinated wheat seeds. The aim of the present paper is to supply further data with regard to these two enzymes and to amplify certain of the findings already recorded, principally those concerned with the relative stabilities of the proteinase and dipeptidase and with the effect of cyanide upon enzymic activity.
