title: Activation and specificity of alkaline phosphatase of a mineralizing collagen-rich system.
abstract: Alkaline phosphatase from tibia tendon of Meleagris gallopavo L. was highly purified. The enzyme activation by different ions was measured. Mg2+ showed a high activation with a broader spectrum of phosphomonoester hydrolization. The in vivo Mg2+ concentration was an optimum for in vitro activation.
