대두 발아 과정 중의 ${\alpha}-galactosidase$를 추출하여 염석, 이온교환 크로마토그래피 및 겔 여과 등의 방법으로 정제한 후 정제효소의 효소학적 성질을 검토하였다. 대두 ${\alpha}-galactosidase$의 활성은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 120시간 발아시켰을 때 가장 높았으며, 대두 중의 raffinose는 96시간, stachyose는 120시간 발아시켰을 때 완전히 분해되었다. 대두 ${\alpha}-galactosidase$는 황산암모늄염석, DEAE-Cellulose 및 DEAE-Sephadex A-50 이온교환 크로마토그래피, Sephadex G-150 겔 여과 등에 의하여 비활성은 825U/mg protein으로써 6.6배까지 정제되었으며 수율은 2.5%이었고 HPLC와 PAGE에 의하여 순도를 확인하였다. 정제효소의 등전점은 pH 4.8이었고, 분자량은 30,000인 monomer이었으며 정제효소의 최적작용 PH는 6.0, 최적작용온도는 $40^{\circ}C$ 이었고, $60^{\circ}C$에서 10분 처리시 25%의 잔존 활성을 나타내었다. 정제효소는 stachyose보다 raffinose를 쉽게 분해하였으며 PNPG에 대한 Km값은 5.3 mM, 활성화 에너지는 13.02 cal/mole이었다.
To elucidate enzymatic properties of ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ (EC 3, 2, 1, 22) from germinated soybean, changes in the enzyme activities and oligosaccharide contents during germination of soybean were determined. ${\alpha}-Galactosidase$ from germinated soybean was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Their chemical and enzymatic properties was investigated. ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity of sobeam was maximized when it was germinated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 120 hour. Raffinose and stachyose in soybean were decomposed completely after 96 hours and 120 hours of germination, respectively. Soybean ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ was purified by 6.6 fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose and Sephadex A-50, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. Its specific activity was 825 Units/mg protein and the yield was 2.5% of the total activity of crude extracts. The purified ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ of soybean was found to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by HPLC. Isoelectric point of soybean ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ was determined analytical isoelectric focusing to be pH 4.8. The soybean ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ was monomeric and its molecular weight was estimated to be 30,000 by SDS-PAGE. The optimal temperature and pH for the soybeam ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0 and 75% of its activity was lost by heating at $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The enzyme was appeared to have higher affinity to raffinose than to stachyose. The Km value of soybean enzyme was 5.3 mM for ${\rho}-nitrophenyl-{\alpha}-D-galactopyranoside$ and the activation energy on PNPG was calculated to be 13.02 Kcal per mole.
