The purified enzyme is homogeneous as determined by disc gel electrophoresis, with and without SDS, and by analytical isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme is a single-subunit glycoprotein containing 8·9% total carbohydrate; its M r is 63000-64500, and its isoelectric point 5·18. The enzyme oxidized cellobiose, other cellodextrins and lactose whereas other disaccharides tested were not utilized as substrates. The rate of cellodextrin oxidation decreased and the K m increased with increasing degree of polymerization of the substrate. Cytochrome c was reduced though at a considerably lower rate than 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol. The natural electron acceptor for the enzyme has not been identified.", }
