title: [Protein analysis of enzyme tablets].
abstract: Enzyme tablets with butyrylcholine esterase (CHE) and peroxidase (POD) partly lose enzymatic activity during compaction at a pressure of 495 MPa. Compared to solutions of the original enzyme, no changes of ultraviolet absorbance and fluorescence intensity in the tablet solutions were found. Only small changes were observed in the far ultraviolet circular dichroism spectra. Neither missing nor additional bands were detected with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Heated (150 degrees C) solid starting material with CHE and POD showed still part of its original enzymatic activity. The ultraviolet absorbance increased with continued heating until precipitation occurred. The circular dichroism spectra are changed clearly.
