Rapid isolation of triosephosphate isomerase utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography.
A new method for the isolation of homogeneous triosephosphate isomerase (TPI, EC 5.3.1.1) has been developed. The method utilizes high-performance liquid chromatography on DEAE 5PW and Hydrophase-polyethyleneimine columns, which results in the rapid isolation and essentially quantitative recovery of the enzyme. The procedure is superior to previous methods with respect to specificity, recovery, and time. In addition, this rapid process minimizes the potential for postsynthetic modifications of the protein. Milligram quantities of TPI can be isolated from 100 g of tissue.
