Purificação e caracterização de alfa-galactosidases de sementes de Platymiscium pubescens Micheli

Abstract: 2RESUMO -Este trabalho objetivou foi determinar a composição bioquímica de sementes de espécies florestais e caracterizar a enzima α-galactosidase de sementes germinadas de Platymiscium pubescens. Os maiores teores de lipídios foram determinados em sementes de Chorisia speciosa, Caesalpinia peltophoroides, Tabebuia serratifolia e Tabebuia velanedae, enquanto sementes de Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Schizolobium parahyba e Cassia grandis apresentaram os maiores teores protéicos. A α-galactosidase catalisa a h… Show more

“…According to Borges et al (2005), -galactosidase is active in Caesalpinia peltophoroides seeds even before imbibition and increases activity with imbibition, being higher in the embryonic axis than in cotyledons. Oliveira et al (2006) observed that the specific activity of -galactosidase in seeds of Platymiscium pubescens and Senna macranthera, differently to results in this work, decreased after 96 h of imbibition. Comparing Figure 4 data to results obtained for monosaccharides, no relationship is noted between enzyme activity and absence of galactose, a component of galactomannan, a substrate of -galactosidase.…”

“…a-Galactosidase activity was determined using a synthetic substrate, p-nitrofenyl-a-D-galactopyranoside (pNPaGal) (Oliveira et al, 2005). The assay system contained 750 lL of 100 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0, 100 lL of enzyme preparation and 250 lL 2 mM p-nitrofenyl-a-D-galactopyranoside.…”
