Investigation of the effect of bivalent metal ions and EDTA on the activity and dielectric properties of deoxyribonuclease of Bacillus amylozyma and Serratia marcescens

Abstract

1. (1) Increase and reduction in the activity of deoxyribonucleases of B. amylozyma and Serratia marcescens under the influence of the ions Mg++, Mn++ Ca++ and EDTA correlate with the increase and reduction in the asymmetry of the macromolecules of the enzymes. 2. (2) The activity of the deoxyribonucleases studied was influenced by the configuration of the molecules in solution. © 1968.
