Properties
Description
α-L-Arabinofuranosidase from Aspergillus niger, a debranching enzyme, separates residues of L-arabinofuranosyl that exist in various saccharides.
Unit Definition
One unit of α-L-arabinofuranosidase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of p-nitrophenol (pNP) per minute from p-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside (5 mM) in sodium acetate buffer (100 mM), pH 4.0 at 40°C.
Applications
α-L-Arabinofuranosidase from Aspergillus niger has crucial applications in carbohydrate and biofuel research.
