| Abstract: | An isolation procedure for rat brain aldolase C has been developed which also permits the isolation of aldolase C from experimental hepatomas. Certain enzymatic properties (specific activity and Michaelis constant towards the two specific substrates: fructose 1,6-biphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate) and physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, N-terminal amino-acid) of the two enzymes have been studied and compared. Moreover, an amino-acid analysis has been carried out for rat brain aldolase C. Within experimental errors, the two enzymes appear to be identical. |
