Abstract

The aim of this research is as follows:

1. To determine the feasibility of using gelatin as a substrate for hyaluronidase.
2. To determine the optimum pH for the enzyme acting upon a gelatin substrate.
3. To determine qualitatively and quantitatively if reducing sugars are present in the substrate after action by the enzyme.

The work on hyaluronidase is relatively new. However it is the most extensively studies mucolytic enzyme.
