Resumen:
The invertase of Tropaeolum majus leaves was partially purified. Its optimum pH was ca 5.25 and its K,values for sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose were 5.3, 17 and 25 mM respectively. The products of the reaction were inuitro inhibitors of the enzyme. Fructose was a partial competitive inhibitor (K, 49 mM) and glucose was a noncompetitiveclassical inhibitor (K, 57 mM). Proteins were activators of the enzyme. As activation by proteinssuppressed the inhibitory effects of the reaction products, product inhibition does not appear to be involved in thephysiological regulation of the enzyme.
