Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The enzyme appeared to be identical to rat liver imidase. The activity is dependent on pH (higher activity at pH > 7).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Hydrolysis by rat liver imidase
Executive summary:

The rat liver enzyme imidase catalyses the hydrolysis of ethylene carbonate; higher activity was measured at pH>7.
