Zusammenfassung

Im Gegensatz zu früheren Berichten wird gezeigt, dass die Aktivierung der α-Amylase nicht durch Chloride sondern durch Natrium-Ionen verursacht wird. Weiter wurde gefunden, dass nur NaCl und Na2CO3 die Aktivität steigert, nicht aber CuCl2 und KCl. Alle Lösungen, die Na+ enthalten, haben ebenfalls eine aktivierende Wirkung.
