[role of metal ions in the catalytic activity of aspergillus oryzae aminopeptidase].	the paper deals with the role of metals in the catalytic action of asp. oryzae aminopeptidase. cobalt ions are more specific activators than mn2+ and mn2+ and evoke its maximal activity. sinergic activation of co2+ in combination with mn2+ and mg2+ was not found in contrast to some aminopeptidases of animal origin. activation of the enzyme with cobalt chloride depends on temperature. by the 10th minute of incubation the activation reaches its maximum: 650 and 900% at 20 and 40 degrees c, respect ...	1979	106499
activation of fungal alpha-amylase by dithioerythritol.	the activity of fungal alpha-amylase has been shown to be influenced by disulfide-reducing reagents. thus, the enzymatic activity increases in the presence of dithioerythritol or 2-mercaptoethanol. l-cysteine is also capable of increasing the activity, but the activation competes with an inactivation reaction which dominates at higher reagent concentrations (greater than 20 mm). a possible scheme interpreting the results is given.	1979	95240
