Substratea | Km | kcat | kcat/Km |
---|---|---|---|
mm | s−1 | m−1s−1 | |
PNP-β-Gal | 0.30 | 123.0 | 4.10 × 105 |
β-(1→3)-Galactobiose | 1.77 | 28.6 | 0.16 × 105 |
β-(1→6)-Galactobiose | 0.77 | 32.5 | 0.42 × 105 |
To examine the effects of galactooligosaccharides on the activity, reactions were carried out with varying concentrations of PNP-β-Gal (0.1–5 mm), β-(1→3)-galactobiose (0.5–10 mm), and β-(1→6)-galactobiose (0.5–10 mm). The Km and kcat values were calculated from a Hanes-Woolf plot using the obtained activities.
