Abstract
A method for the separation and purification of rat liver arylsulphatases A and B by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 is described. The properties of the A enzyme and its molecular weight are similar to those of the corresponding ox liver enzyme. The B enzymes were found to be dissimilar. The method already developed for the assay of the corresponding enzymes from human tissues was shown to be unsuitable for the assay of the enzymes of rat tissues. A method of assay was developed which permits an approximate determination of the individual rat liver enzymes in a mixture of the two, but precise determination requires prior separation of the enzymes by gel-filtration chromatography.Keywords
