| Abstract: | The enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-phospho-D-gluconate: NADP+ oxidoreductase, decarboxylating EC 1.1.1.44) from bass liver has been purified to over 95% of homogeneity by gel filtration, affinity and ion exchange chromatographies. The apparent molecular weight was estimated by gel filtration chromatography to about 100,000. Analysis of the enzyme on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed to be a dimeric protein. The effect of pH and kinetic properties were studied. |
