Abstract: | The conversion of a slow moving potato phosphorylase isozyme to a fast one, in sprouting tubers, either on freezing the whole tubers or on storage of their crude extracts, is due to limited proteolysis. High protease inhibitor concentration seems to be the primary factor preventing this conversion in freshly harvested tubers under similar conditions. Though MW determinations on both isozymes show the removal of a peptide during conversion, it is also likely that the enzyme may take up a different conformation due to the removal of this peptide. |
