General description
Tetramer molecular weight 465 kDa (subunits 116.3 kDa each)
Application
Aqueous solution may be used directly for derivatization without previous dialysis or gel permeation chromatography.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-galactosidase cleaves lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose. It also catalyses the transglycosylation of glucose into allolactose, the inducer of β-galactosidase, in a feedback loop.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Other Notes
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol 2-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (Cat. No. 73660) per minute at pH 7.8 and 37 °C
