Inhibition activity of fucoidan against amyloglucosidase—Maximal velocity (VMax) and Michaelis-Menten constant (KM).
Concentration of fucoidan (mg/ml) | VMax (mM/min) | KM (mM) |
---|---|---|
Control | 0.962 ± 0.014a | 2.21 ± 0.13a |
0.5 | 0.938 ± 0.025a | 2.36 ± 0.24a |
1.0 | 0.832 ± 0.024b | 1.85 ± 0.23b |
1.5 | 0.781 ± 0.024c | 1.73 ± 0.24b |
2.0 | 0.753 ± 0.016c | 1.87 ± 0.17b |
a–cValues are presented as mean with standard deviation (n = 9). Within each column, mean values with different superscript lowercase letters are statistically different (p < 0.05) across the different samples.
