chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephadex G‐100. The preparation was homogeneous
as tested by gel filtration on Sephadex G‐200, and disc electrophoresis. The molecular
weight of this enzyme was 29.400 estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G‐100. The
optimum pH for enzyme activity was 7.2. Copper ions significantly increased enzyme activity,
while Zn++ and Mn++ caused marked inhibition.
