Abstract
Electron microscopy of pig intestinal proline‐β‐naphthyltamidase revealed that the enzyme is composed of 3 subunits, which are assembled in a trifoliolate shape, At pH 4.5 and 4°C, the enzyme dissociates reversibly into active subunits in 4h. Dissociation also occurs at higher pHs when the enyzme concentration is very low. The activity per mg protein of the native, trimeric enzyme is about 2.5‐fold higher than that of the dissociated enzyme.Keywords
