Comparative studies on heart and skeletal muscle AMP-deaminase from rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
1. AMP-deaminases from fish heart and skeletal muscle have been isolated, and their kinetic and regulatory properties compared. 2. The results obtained indicate that the enzyme variants present in fish heart and skeletal muscle, in contrast to their mammalian counterparts, show very similar chromatographic, kinetic and regulatory characteristics. 3. The above may reflect evolutionary programmed differences in AMP-deaminase gene(s) organization.
