α-Galactosidase (Agal) hydrolyzes the terminal α-galactosyl moiety from glycoproteins and glycolipids. β-Galactosidase (Bgal) hydrolyzes β-galactosides into monosaccharides. Isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induces Bgal activity. Phenylethyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (PETG) is an inhibitor. Galactose, lactose, o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactoside (ONPG) are substrates. Galactopyranosyl is reaction intermediate. For details on β-galactosidase see Molecular Playground/Beta-galactosidase.
