1. β-Amylase [α-1,4-glucan maltohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.2] from wheat bran was purified to a single protein component as determined by ultracentrifugal analysis and polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. The enzyme preparation was proved to be free from a-amylase [EC 3.2.1.1] contamination, as judged from the relationship between the blue value and the reducing value.2. The Michaelis constant Kmand the molecular activity k0were determined at 25°C and pH 5.20 for the β-amylase-catalyzed hydrolyses of G3, G7, and G760, where Gndenotes a linear substrate with degree of polymerizationn. The values of k0/Kmwere determined for a series of linear substrates, G3-G7, G12,5and G760from measurements of the initial rate for each substrate at a substrate concentration sufficiently lower than its Kmvalue.3. From the dependence of k0/Kmonn, the number of subsites of this enzyme was estimated to be five. According to the subsite theory(30), the values of k0/Kmand Kmwere used to evaluate the subsite affinityAiof each subsite, whereiis the subsite number counting from the terminal subsite at which the nonreducing end glucose residue of a substrate is to be situated. The values of (A1+A2), A3, A4and A5were evaluated, and the lower limit of A1and the upper limit of A2were also estimated. The large positive values of A1and A4, and the negative values of A2and A3are consistent with the experimental data that maltotetraose is the smallest good substrate and that maltose and phenyl α-maltoside are not hydrolyzed to any detectable extent.
