I.R.-Stimulated catalysis (a potential spectral tool).
Catalytic rate is proposed as an infrared spectrographic index. Initial investigations of catalytic activity, on beta-galactosidase show a 1-2 fold increase in rate for a mutant enzyme when exposed to 10.6 micrometer irradiation at 2%. No increase was obtained for the wild-type enzyme.
