An enzyme that catalyzes the stoichiometric conversion of 6-tuliposide into tulipalin was purified and characterized from bulbs of Tulipa gesneriana. The enzyme appeared to be a dimer, the relative molecular mass (Mr) of each subunit being 34,900; it had maximum activity and stability at neutral pH and moderate temperature. The enzyme preferentially acted on such glucose esters as 6-tuliposides, and to a lesser extent on p-nitrophenylacetate.
从郁金香的球茎中纯化并鉴定出一种能催化6-郁金香苷化学计量转化为郁金香素的酶。该酶似乎是一种二聚体,每个亚基的相对分子质量(Mr)为34,900;它在中性pH和适中温度下具有最大活性和稳定性。该酶优先作用于6-郁金香苷等葡萄糖酯,对乙酸对硝基苯酯的作用程度较小。
