Extract

1. Reactivation of alkaline milk phosphatase is affected by the presence of ions, Mg2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ being activating and Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ being inhibitory.

2. Cu2+ will inhibit reactivation induced by Mg2+, but has no effect upon Zn2+-induced reactivation.

3. Using washed cream, either alone or in admixture with boiled whey treated with cationic resin, reactivation occurs in the presence of added Mg2+, but not when Zn2+ is added.

4. Experiments with EDTA. confirm that metallic ions play a part both in alkaline phosphatase activity and in reactivation.

5. It is suggested that either Mg2+ or Zn2+ or both play a part in reactivation.
