Modification of purified β-galactosidase from Vica faba by NBS-EDC-glycine methyl ester and NAI led to complete and partial loss of enzyme activity respectively. When one Trp residue was modified, the activity of β-galactosidase dropped to zero. indicating that Trp residue was essential for enzyme activiry. The partial loss of β-galactosidase activity was caused by EDCglycine methyl ester treatment indicating that the carboxyl group was also essential for enzyme activity. D-galactose which is the competitive inhibitor of β-galactosidase could prevent the modification by EDC to a certain degree. but D-galactose showed no affect on modification by NBS. It is suggested that the carboxyl group may be related to the catalytic center of the enzyme and the Trp residue may not directly participate in the formation of the catalytic center. Modification of Arg ,His and Cys residues and free amino group of the enzyme molecule did not affect the activity,indicating that these residues are not necessary for the enzymic activity.
