| kinetic studies of the phenol sulphate-phenol sulphotransferase of aspergillus oryzae. | arylsulphatase ii of aspergillus oryzae exhibits both hydrolytic and sulphotransferase activities. the kinetic data suggest the formation of an intermediate covalent enzyme-sulphate complex with transfer of sulphate from donor to acceptor proceeding via a ping pong mechanism. the unusual kinetic behaviour when 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl sulphate is the substrate is also consistent with this mechanism. | 1977 | 588253 |
| a rapid direct assay for the determination of the separate activities of the three arylsulphatases of aspergillus oryzae. | 1. the three arylsulphatases of aspergillus oryzae exhibit pronounced kinetic differences and substrate specificities. arylsulphatase i hydrolyses all substrates tested, whereas arylsulphatase iii will not hydrolyse tyrosine o-sulphate or phenolphthalein disulphate. arylsulphatase ii does not hydrolyse p-nitrophenyl sulphate or phenolphthalein disulphate at appreciable rates in the absence of added phenolic compounds. phenols such as tyramine increase the rate of hydrolysis of these substances b ... | 1977 | 597235 |

| specific hydrolysis of rabbit globin messenger rna by s1 nuclease. | s1 nuclease isolated from aspergillus oryzae has been used to investigate the secondary structure of rabbit globin messenger rna (mrna). the enzyme, which is specific for single stranded nucleotides, digests globin mrna to a limited extent, with 65-75% of the mrna nucleotides resistant to digestion under mild conditions. this limited digestion is not due to enzyme inactivation, but rather to the normal activity of the single-strand nuclease. the reaction was studied as a function of temperature, ... | 1977 | 909777 |
