title: [Purification and some physico-chemical properties of myocardial adenylate deaminase].
abstract: A procedure for isolation of adenylate deaminase from duck heart muscle has been developed. The method includes extraction of enzyme, chromatography on cellulose phosphate, fractionation by ammonium sulfate, chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The enzyme was purified approximately 4000-fold with a yield of 25%. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel revealed that the enzyme contains no proteins other than adenylate deaminase. The enzyme has a UV absorption spectrum typical for proteins which contain no nucleic acid impurities. Using sievorptive chromatography, it was shown that the myocardial extract contains two adenylate deaminase forms, which are tetramers with mol. weights of 190 000 and 240 000. The molecular weights of the subunits are 47 000 and 63 000, respectively. In the oligomeric form the enzyme is only detected at high enzyme concentrations and in the presence of large amounts of substrate.
