Description
α-Galactosidase from Aspergillus niger is a homodimeric glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal α-galactosyl moieties of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
Unit Definition
One unit of activity is the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of p-nitrophenol (pNP) per minute from p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside per min at pH 4.5 and 40°C.
Applications
α-Galactosidase from Aspergillus niger can be used for glycobiology research.
