PROPERTIES 1. ELECTROPHORETIC PURITY - Single band on SDS-gel electrophoresis (MW ~ 75,370) - Single major band on Isoelectric focusing (pI ~ 5.1) 2. SPECIFIC ACTIVITY 22.9 U/mg protein at pH 7.0 and 80°C. One Unit of b-mannanase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one μmole of mannose-reducing-sugar equivalents per minute from low viscosity carob galactomannan (6.25 mg/mL) in 50 mM MOPS buffer (pH 7.0) at 80°C. 3. RELATIVE RATES OF HYDROLYIS OF SUBSTRATES SUBSTRATE RELATIVE HYDROLYSIS RATES Carob galactomannan (low viscosity) 100 CMC-4M 3.67 p-NP-a-D-galactoside < 0.45 p-NP-b-D-glucoside < 0.45 Activities on polysaccharides were determined at a final substrate concentration of 6.25 mg/mL in the reaction mixture in 50 mM MOPS buffer (pH 7.0) at 40°C using the Nelson/Somogyi reducing sugar procedure. Action on p-NP-substrates was determined at a final substrate concentration of 5 mM in 100 mM MOPS buffer (pH 7.0) at 40°C. 4. PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES pH Optimum: 7.0 (at 40°C) Temperature Optimum: 85°C pH Stability: 6.0-8.0 (20 hr at 4°C) Temperature Stability: unstable above 80°C (15 min at pH 7.0) 5. STORAGE CONDITIONS The enzyme is supplied as an ammonium sulphate suspension in 0.02 % (w/v) sodium azide and should be stored at 4°C. Swirl to mix the enzyme immediay prior to use.
