[Effect of polyethylene glycol on association of muscle phosphorylase B].
It has been shown that a neutral polymer poly(ethyleneglycol) with molecular weight of 4000 and more shifts the equilibrium between the dimer and tetramer forms of phosphorylase B from rabbit skeletal muscles in the direction of formation of species with higher molecular weights. Poly(ethyleneglycol) with molecular weight below 600 has no effect on the association process. Phosphorylase B is precipitated in the form of crystals in the presence of poly(ethyleneglycol) mol. weight 40,000), when the concentration of the latter is higher than 50 mg/ml. AMP and sulfate ions are required for the crystallization process.
