[Purification of intestinal peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) in the rat]
Abstract:
Rat intestine peroxidase was solubilized from a M-L fraction with BaCl2 and purified by gel filtration. The peroxidase preparation obtained by this procedure was purified 150 folds as compared to the activity present in the crude homogenate.
Insights
