Purification Akd Some Properties of the Enzyme from Rabbit Hikdbrain
نویسنده
چکیده
Tryptophan hydroxylase from rabbit hindbrain has been extensively purified. It is estimated that the enzyme is between 85 and 90 % pure and has a molecular weight of 230,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis shows that the enzyme is composed of two subunits very close in molecular weight (57,500 and 60,900). The substrate specificity and the reaction stoichiometry catalyzed by the enzyme in the presence of 6,7-dimethyltetrahydropterin, 6-methyltetrahydropterin, and tetrahydrobiopterin have been determined. The effect of some natural occurring phospholipids on the purified enzyme was investigated.

A modified procedure has been developed for the purification of rabbit muscle l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The product of the preparation satisfies all criteria of homogeneity. Some physical properties of the enzyme have been re-investigated. The results suggest that previous preparations may have been contaminated with significant amounts of heavy-molecular-weight protein.
