Homologs of peroxin 16 genes (PEX16) have been identified only in Yarrowia lipolytica, humans (Homo sapiens), and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The Arabidopsis gene (AtPEX16), previously reported as the SSE1 gene, codes for a predicted 42-kD membrane peroxin protein (AtPex16p). Lin

Enzyme disintegration with spatial resolution reveals different distributions of sludge extracellular polymer substances
To measure pectinase activity, a titrimetric stop reaction assay is used. One unit of pectinase will liberate 1 μmol of galacturonic acid from poly-galacturonic acid per hour at pH 4.0 at 25 °C.
A key resource feature at our Enzyme Explorer section of biochemicals is "Enzymes for Carbohydrate Analysis and Digestion." Offering kits, reagents, analysis, lists of enzymes related to PTM and carbohydrate metabolism.
