Abstract
Rapid freezing of higher plant tissue in liquid nitrogen renders the cells permeable to a wide range of substrate molecules. Tissue permeabilized by repeated freeze-thaw treatment can be used for the measurement of several enzymes. With most of the tissues examined maximum in vivo activities were obtained using a combination of freeze-thaw treatment followed by vacuum infiltration. The activities and properties of enzymes determined with this procedure are very comparable with those obtained for enzymes prepared by conventional extraction procedures.Entities:
