title: A modified method for isolating alpha-amylase from rabbit skeletal muscle.
abstract: A modified method for purifying alpha-amylase from rabbit skeletal muscle is described, which in comparison with the previously published method gives better results of isolation and is economical, less time-consuming, and require less material. The former method gave 1,340-fold purification of the enzyme with a yield of 0-6%, and the new method 2,014-fold purification and 7-6% yield. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel showed absence of a strictly defined zone of enzyme activity and presence of inactive proteins.
