Title: Purification and properties of chalcone-flavanone isomerase from soya bean seed
Abstract: An enzyme catalysing the conversion of chalcones to the corresponding flavanones has been purified about 150-fold from soaked soya bean seed (Soja hispida). This enzyme is stable when stored as a freeze-dried preparation at 2–4°. It is not inhibited by azide, cyanide, diethyldithiocarbamate or EDTA but is strongly inhibited by low concentrations of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. The pH optimum is about 7–5. The enzymic reaction is not dependent on coenzymes or activators. Substrate specificity of the enzyme was studied using seven chalcones.
