Preparation and Characterization of an Arylsulphatase insolubilized on Porous Glass

Nature volume 232, pages 473–474 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

THE enzyme sterol sulphate sulphohydrolase (EC 3162) is used for the hydrolysis of steroid conjugates before analysis of body fluids for total oestrogens; but it is rather costly. The availability of a re-usable derivative of this enzyme which would be stable for a long time might be of value to the clinical chemist. I therefore decided to prepare an insolubilized derivative of this enzyme and determine its properties.
