pinus pinea/protease

Changes in the germination-rate and the biochemical differences in soluble proteins and proteases in artificially aged Pinus pinea seeds have been investigated. In the aged seeds, soluble proteins decrease during the germination process, parallel to increased levels of proteases activities in both

Isocitrate lyase is a key catalyst of the glyoxylate cycle. A feature of the enzyme from higher plants is the high instability, that causes innumerable problems in working for characterization of the enzyme. The present communication demonstrates that the optimal conditions for the storage of

Multiple enzyme forms of isocitrate lyase from various sources have been frequently reported. Protease action after cell rupture was sporadically claimed to explain the observed multiple enzyme forms. In this communication studies which are consistent with a protease action in vitro on isocitrate
