Abstract excerpt
The paper deals with the activity of peptidohydrolases splitting hemoglobin, casein and benzoylarginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) in the ontogenesis of Drosophila mutant white apricot (wa). The enzymic activity is high in the intestine tissue at the larval stage, but it does not manifest itself at the pupal stage that may be due to inactivation of the studied enzymes by inhibitors found in extracts of the pupal...
