Lambda coli phage is not inactivated by chymotrypsin, trypsin, or ficin. T 2 phage is slowly inactivated by high concentrations of a-, -, y-, or A-chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin or ficin. PI phage is slowly inactivated by a-, -, or y-chymotrypsin, or ficin, more rapidly by A-chymotrypsin, and much more rapidly by trypsin. Crystalline egg albumin, crystalline serum albumin, E. coli nucleoprotein, and yeast nucleoprotein are hydrolyzed slowly by a-chymotrypsin. Yeast nucleoprotein, like P phage, is hydrolyzed more rapidly by A-chymotrypsin than by a-chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin or ficin. Neither phages nor native proteins were attacked by papain, carboxypeptidase, deoxyribonuclease, or ribonuclease.
