Preliminary characterisation of LUC Several experiments were conducted on LUC to determine its stability, suscepti- bility to various proteolytic enzymes, and molecular weight. As reported elsewhere (Brown and Cunningham, 1941 ), brief boiling of crude extracts had no effect on activity. However. LUC did appear to be susceptible to oxidation. The combined results of experiments conducted at both 20° C and 37° C showed that untreated extracts held for 20 hr lost of the original activity. In addition, treatment with thiodiglycol prevented this loss, while treatment with hydrogen peroxide lead to a loss in activity. In view of these results, all subsequent extracts were o oo 00 CO -z.
