Two proteolytic enzymes, Hb-ase and BAPA-ase, were partially purified from commercial malt. Hb-ase was inhibited by bromate, N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuriphenylsulphonic acid and activated by ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid. BAPA-ase was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide and p-hydroxychloromercuribenzoate but not by bromate or phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride, a specific trypsin inhibitor. The results obtained suggested that BAPA-ase, like the Hb-ase, is a thiol enzyme.
