Thermostable Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23)

The recombinant thermostable galactosidase EC 3.2.1.23 (pyrococcus fruriosus) was
prepared and purified from Escherichia coli expression system. b-Galactosidase which
hydrolyses the b1-4 galactosidic linkages was widely used for hydrolysis of lactose in 
dairy products and also as a tool in organic chemistry. The advantage of thermostable
galactosidase is its thermostability (>85 centigrade) and resistance to organic solvents.

Optimum temperature: 85-95 centigrade

Specific activity: 5,000U/mg
