Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with tandem time-of- flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF/TOF MS） revealed the protein to be a member of the glycosyl hydrolase family 3 with an apparent molecular mass of about 120 kDa. The purified 13-glucosidase showed optimal activity at pH 5.0 and 65℃ and was very stable at 50℃. Moreover, the enzyme exhibited good stability over pH 3.0-8.0 and possessed high tolerance towards pepsin and trypsin. The kinetic parameters Km （apparent Michaelis- Menten constant） and Vmax （maximal reaction velocity） for p-nitrephenyl-β-D-cjlucopyranoside （pNPG） were 1.73 mmol/L and 42.37 U/mg, respectively. The Krn and Vmax for cellobiose were 4.11 mmol/L and 5.7 U/mg, respectively. The enzyme efficiently converted isoflavone glycosides to aglycones, with a hydrolysis rate of 95.8% for daidzin, 86.7% for genistin, and 72.1% for glycitin. Meanwhile, the productivities were 1.14 mmol/（L.h） for daidzein, 0.72 mmol/（L.h） for genistein, and 0.19 mmol/（L.h） for glycitein. This is the first report on the application of A. terreus β-glucosidase for converting isoflavone glycosides to their aglycones in soybean products.展开更多
