Dual role of imidazole as activator/inhibitor of sweet almond (Prunus dulcis) β-glucosidase

The activity of Prunus dulcis (sweet almond) β-glucosidase at the expense of p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside at pH 6 was determined, both under steady-state and pre-steady-state conditions. Using crude enzyme preparations, competitive inhibition by 1–5 mM imidazole was observed under both kinetic...
