1. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of benzoylarginine ethyl ester in packed columns of CM-cellulose-70-ficin and CM-cellulose-90-ficin were studied. 2. The apparent Michaelis constant, K'(m), of these preparations was calculated and shown to be dependent on the flow rate at low rates of perfusion through the columns. 3. The values for k(3) of these preparations were calculated and shown to be nearly independent of flow rate. 4. A modified form of the integrated Michaelis rate equation was used to describe the action of these materials and its limitations are discussed. 5. The hydrolysis of solutions of casein by these columns was studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
