S-2-Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (Glyoxalase II) from calf brain has been purified 8333-times compared to 65,000 g supernatant of brain homogenate. The purification procedure employs Affi-Gel blue and preparative isoelectric focussing and offers a suitable method for the preparation of highly purified enzyme. Calf brain Glyoxalase II is a basic protein with a pl of 7.63 determined by isoelectric focusing. An evaluation of the relative molecular mass by gel filtration gave a value of about 23,000. During the purification procedure a constant Km value of about 0.325 mM was observed. A turnover number of 16,100 min-1 was calculated for the purified enzyme.

Abstract
S-2-Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (Glyoxalase II) from calf brain has been purified 8333-times compared to 65,000 g supernatant of brain homogenate. The purification procedure employs Affi-Gel blue and preparative isoelectric focussing and offers a suitable method for the preparation of highly purified enzyme. Calf brain Glyoxalase II is a basic protein with a pl of 7.63 determined by isoelectric focusing. An evaluation of the relative molecular mass by gel filtration gave a value of about 23,000. During the purification procedure a constant Km value of about 0.325 mM was observed. A turnover number of 16,100 min-1 was calculated for the purified enzyme.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
