α- l-Fucosidase activity in human saliva and dental plaque

α- l-Fucosidase activities were determined using p- nitrophenyl-α- l- fucoside (p- NPF) and de-sialized porcine submandibular glycoprotein (DS-PSG) as substrates. Dental plaque and whole saliva possessed enzyme activity against both substrates. Parotid and submaxillary-sublingual saliva exhibited th...

Zusammenfassung:α- l-Fucosidase activities were determined using p- nitrophenyl-α- l- fucoside (p- NPF) and de-sialized porcine submandibular glycoprotein (DS-PSG) as substrates. Dental plaque and whole saliva possessed enzyme activity against both substrates. Parotid and submaxillary-sublingual saliva exhibited the activity on p-NPF, but did not on DS-PSG.
