The kinetics of .beta.-D-fucosidase of the snail H. ericetorum were studied. The enzyme shows .beta.-D-fucosidase, .beta.-D-glucosidase and .beta.-D-galactosidase activities, all associated in a single peak in DEAE-cellulose chromatography and isoelectric focusing (pl 4.35), having the same optimal pH (5.0). With the corresponding p-nitrophenyl glycosides as substrates, .beta.-D-fucosidase activity shows the lowest Km, the highest Vmax and the best Vmax/Km value; close activity values were obtained for .beta.-D-glucosidase; .beta.-D-galactosidase activity is much lower in this enzyme. All the kinetic evidence suggests that this enzyme has 2 active sites: a fuco-gluco site and a galacto site. .beta.-D-fucosidase and .beta.-D-glucosidase activities have similar Km, Vmax, Vmax/Km and Ki values; these values are very different from those of .beta.-D-galactosidase activity. .beta.-D-fucosides and .beta.-D-glucosides completely compete for a common active site in mixed-substrate experiments; .beta.-D-galactosides only partially compete with both glycosides. With .delta.-D-gluconolactone, the enzyme shows a hyperbolic mixed-type inhibition, mainly competitive for .beta.-D-fucosidase and .beta.-D-glucosidase activities (with the same inhibition sub-type), and predominantly non-competitive for .beta.-D-galactosidase activity (with different inhibition sub-type). With .delta.-D-gluconolactone more inhibition of .beta.-D-fucosidase and .beta.-D-glucosidase activities was found, and with .gamma.-D-galactonolactone, more inhibition of .beta.-D-galactosidase activity was detected. The enzyme is activated by some carbohydrates, probably in relation with a transglycosylation mechanism.
