Author(s): D Chetia, L. K Nath, S. K Dutta

A proteolytic enzyme has been extracted from the latex of the plant Ficus hispida Linn. The optimum temperature and pH for the activity of the enzyme have been determined. Some physico-chemical properties including the stability of the enzyme at different temperature and pH conditions have also been studied. The enzyme was purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-50 upto 27.34 fold with a yield of 5.23%.
