Abstract
THE digestive juice of Helix pomatia contains a remarkable number of enzymes; many of them are carbohydrases, and they include an enzyme that hydrolyses lactose or β-methyl-galactoside1,2. This communication describes the properties and activities of the enzyme that hydrolyses o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG).
