LA PHOSPHATASE ACIDE DU GERME DE BLÉ: ANALYSE CHROMATOGRAPHIQUE

Abstract

Chromatographic analysis of acid phosphatase of wheat germ shows that this enzyme exists as four different, active, and easily separable molecular forms. The four fractions also hydrolyze esterase substrates. All four isozymes are yellow, and the visible spectra of three of them are given. Following a previous observation, we confirmed the presence of iron in the enzyme, presumably as Fe⁺⁺⁺.
