Abstract
The digestion of fish protein by trypsin was delayed by the addition of the halogen salts of Li, Na, K and NH4. This depression was greatest with fluorides and chlorides, less with iodides, and least with bromides; it was greatest with high conc. of salt (0.5 M) and disappeared at low conc. In no conc. investigated (0.5-0.008 M) was there any accelerating action. In the more conc. solutions the ammonium salts exerted the most powerful depressant action. NaF was less strongly inhibitory than KF or NH4F.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
