Protein was determined using the Bradford protein assay. Using the BCA protein assay, the following results were obtained for pure CDH: DCIP activity, 16 U · mg−1; cyt c activity, 18 U · mg−1.
Activity was measured using DCIP and cellobiose at pH 4.0; this assay detects both CBQ and CDH.
Activity was measured using cyt c and cellobiose at pH 3.5; this assay detects only CDH.
