title: Synergistic effects in enzymic reactions.
abstract: It has been shown that when two enzymes showing similar actions act in close proximity of each other they influence each other synergistically. The phenomenon of synergism is, however, not observed if the two enzymes are of dissimilar action type. The condition of closest proximity has been simulated by conducting the enzymic reactions inside the reversed micelles. In the present study we have experimented with alpha-amylase and invertase both hydrolysing enzymes and also with peroxidase and invertase which do not show similar actions.
