Partial purification and kinetic properties of polygalacturonase from Solanum macrocarpum L. fruit.
Background and Objective: Polygalacturonase [Poly (1, 4-α-D-galacturonide) glucanohydrolase, E.C 3.2.1.15] is a subclass of pectinase that hydrolyzes the glycosidic linkages between galacturonic acid residues in polygalacturonans. Solanum macrocarpum ripening prompts pectinase production. The objective of this study was to examine the kinetic properties of polygalacturonase from Solanum...
