Abstract: The positional isomers α-andβ-naphthols were effectively separated by sulfatasefrom Helix pomatia.The appropriate separation conditions were investigated.The mecha-nism of the enzymatic reactions concerned was experimentally analyzed and the correspondingkinetic constants were determined as well.

Key words: sulfatase, naphthol, isomer, separation, reaction mechanism
