Abstract
A rapid, simple, quantitative technique has been developed for the study of the action of hydrolytic enzymes on certain insoluble substrates. The end point of digestion is indicated by the release of a glass bead, when two pieces of lens paper sealed together by the substrate separate due to its digestion by the enzyme.Keywords
