3.4.23.18 2.5 6 fairly stable 668812 3.4.23.18 2.5 6 the enzyme is stable in the pH range of 2.5-6.0, maintaining more than 80% of its activity after 1 h of incubation. Enzymatic activity is lost after incubation at pH 10.0 753450 3.4.23.18 2.6 5 stable in this range 30563 3.4.23.18 3 6 stable in this range, complete inactivation below 2 and above 7 30575 3.4.23.18 4 - most stable at 30564 3.4.23.18 4.9 - most stable at 30562 3.4.23.18 5 8 the protease is relatively stable at pH 5.0, except in buffer containing sodium laurylbenzenesulfonic acid. However, at pH 8.0, whether in the absence or presence of reagents for 1 h, it loses almost all activity 754494 3.4.23.18 6 7 above pH 7 denaturation and inactivation 30564 3.4.23.18 8 12 the protease demonstrates excellent stability at pH range 8.0-12.0 for 30 min. The enzyme remains unaltered at pH 11.0 and 12.0 for 24 h at 28°C and a slight decrease in relative activity is seen at pH 10.0 after 24 h 752341
