Table 4.
Half-life and thermal deactivation constants at different temperatures.
| Temperature (°C) | kd (h−1) | t1/2 (h) |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | 0.50 | 1.38 |
| 50 | 0.64 | 1.09 |
| 60 | 1.03 | 0.67 |
The half-life and thermal deactivation constants were determined by incubating aliquots of pure enzyme at various temperatures for 5 h, after which, the residual enzyme activity was determined.
