Abstract
THE catalase activity of intact yeast cells which is ‘patent’ (that is, active in vivo against external substrate) is biologically distinct from the activity which is ‘cryptic’ (that is, hidden within the cell, detectable only after lysis of the cell). This conclusion followed from the demonstration that the cryptic enzyme was far more heat-labile than the patent fraction1.
