摘要

The baicalin-β-d-glucuronidase that hydrolyzes the β-d-glucuronide bond of baicalin to form baicalein was isolated from fresh roots of Scutellaria viscidula Bge and the enzyme purified and characterized. The enzyme was purified to one band on SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was about 58.4kDa. The optimum temperature of the baicalin-β-d-glucuronidase was 50°C, and the optimum pH was 5.0. The baicalin-β-d-glucuronidase was stable at less than 70°C and pH 4.0–7.0. Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions have no significant effect on enzyme activity, Mg²⁺ ion has a weakly positive effect and Cu²⁺ ion has a weakly negative effect on enzyme activity, while Fe³⁺ ion inhibits enzyme activity strongly.
