The effects of trehalose concentration on the activity (initial rates) of α-chymotrypsin precipitated by n-propanol in acetonitrile.

Trehalose concentration (wv-1)
Initial rate (nmoles mg-1min-1)

0.15
Saturated trehalose

Saturated K2S04
0.96

Initial rates were calculated from the aliquots taken over 0.5 to 3 h. The percentage conversions during these time periods were 1–10 percent and in a linear range.
