Abstract

Eight highly purified and crystalline enzymes representative of fundamental metabolic pathways and of cellular structure were tested with seven detergents. The enzyme-detergent interaction was studied as a time-independent (inhibition) or time-dependent (inactivation) phenomenon. Our results imply a specificity of detergent action on the enzymes studied.
