The agglutination of ion exchange resin particles coated with polysaccharide.

NH20H + DPN2H -* NH40H + DPN. If NH4OH is used as substrate and the pH maintained above neutrality, the reverse reaction can be demonstrated (figure 1). In the absence of substrate, extract, or coenzyme no decrease in transmission was noted. NH4C1 and (NH4)2S04 were inactive as substrates at pH 7.0. The enzyme is stable at 60 C for 5 minutes, but not at 65 C. No loss of activity was noted after 30 days at -20 C.
