Abstract: The catalytic properties of β-galactosidaseⅠand Ⅱpurified from gram germination seeds as ONPGhydrolysis catalysts were investigated.According to the Michaelis Menten mechanism of enzyme catalytic reaction,the kinetic parameters KM,rm and Ea of catalytic hydrolysis reaction of ONPG were measured.By using of various chemical dressing reagents for enzyme,we studied the function groups of β-galactosidaseⅠ.The relationship between the function groups and catalytic activity of enzyme revealed that hydrosulphonyl and tryptophan existed in β-galactosidase Ⅰand they were the composition groups in the active site of β-galactosidaseⅠfor the catalytic hydrolysis reaction of ONPG.
