Conclusions
-
1.
Constants for the interaction of α-chymotrypsin with acid polysaccharides have been determined at low degrees of polyanion bonding\((\overline \upsilon )\) to enzyme molecules.
-
2.
The variation of the interaction constants with the pH, ionic strength, and nature of the polyelectrolyte are such to indicate the importance of the electrostatic interaction in the formation of the α-chymotrypsin-acid polysaccharide complex.
