title: Effects of macromolecular compounds on human leukocyte beta-galactosidase activity.
abstract: The enzyme properties of leukocyte beta-galactosidase and the effects of macromolecular compounds on its activity were studied in detail. It was demonstrated that various macromolecular compounds markedly influence the activity of beta-galactosidase. These phenomena should be taken into account when considering the biochemical abnormalities of tissues of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses.
