Carboxymethylcellulose activated by periodate oxidation was covalently linked to porcine pancreatic a-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1). The speciยฎc activity of the conjugate prepared was 54% of the native enzyme. The carbohydrate content was estimated to be 62% by weight as a result of the modiยฎcation of 67% of
Southern pine, aspen, and Douglas-fir flakes were reacted with either butylene oxide/triethyl~mine or acetic anhydride for various reaction times to give levels of bonded chemicals up to 25 weight percent gain. Flakes modified to 20 weight percent gain with butylene oxide gave a flakeboard which abs
