Key points

  • Pholiota nameko polysaccharide (PNPS-1) has been isolated and purified by enzyme hydrolysis, hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration column chromatography
  • The inhibition of bovine pancreas ribonuclease (RNase A) by PNPS-1 has been studied to elucidate the mechanism responsible for the decreased activity
  • PNPS-1 was effective in a linear mixed-type inhibition as suggested from the Lineweaver-Burk plot, Dixon plot and their replots
  • The values of K(i) and alphaK(i) were estimated as 299.92 and 545.71 microM, respectively
  • The alphaK(i) was greater than K(i) indicating that noncompetitive inhibition was predominant over competitive inhibition
