Abstract:The influence of some metal ions was investigatedon the milk-clotting activityof the pure rennin-like enzyme of Penicillium citrinum 805. Barium and calcium enhanced the clotting activity while copper, nickel, and sodium ions showed slight inhibitory effects. Above a certain concentration limit, EDTA played a role by which its complexing action with calcium ions was compensated and the milk became readily coagulable by the enzyme. This phenomenon was more significant when EDTA was added to the milk instead of … Show more
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.
