Abstract

A method for measuring cellobiase activity of the Trichoderma reesei CCF 1853 cellulase complex using a Thermal Activity Monitor and a flow - mix mode is described. The kinetic constant KM and the linear dependence of dQmax/dt (the maximum heat flow at the total saturation of enzyme with substrate) on the enzyme concentration were determined. The process of the end product inhibition of cellobiase activity by glucose has been observed too. The obtained results allow to determine the mechanism of the inhibition and an inhibition constant for glucose.

The procedure is completely general in nature and is applicable to other enzymatic systems.
