title: Nondenaturing protein electrotransfer of the esterase activity of lipolytic preparations.
abstract: Lipolytic enzymes subjected to nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were electrophoretically transferred under nondenaturing conditions onto a solid-state matrix. Electrotransfer permitted the visualization of hydrolytic activity to the long-chain water insoluble substrate alpha-naphthyl palmitate. Four commercial preparations: a lipase from Candida cylindracea, an esterase from porcine liver, a lipase from Pseudomonas sp., and a cholesterol esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens were examined.
