Fungal Cellulases XV. Acceptor Specificity of the Aryl ?-Glucosidase of Stachybotrys Atra

Abstract

A parameter has been devised that gives a general measure of acceptor efficiency in the reaction of an enzyme with two substrates. The numerical value of this parameter has been determined for the ,B-glucosidase of Stachybotrys atm, phenyl ,B-D-glucopyranoside, and a large number of hydroxylic acceptors. There are certain correlations between acceptor efficiency and structure.
