title: [Allosteric properties of phosphorylase b].
abstract: Rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase b was separated into two fractions by column chromatography on AMP-Sepharose. The first fraction protein was eluted by glucose-6-phosphate while the second fraction protein was eluted in an AMP concentration gradient. The bulk of the protein eluate was represented by the first fraction protein. Chromatography of phosphorylase b from bovine skeletal muscle under identical conditions also resulted in two fractions, however, with a reverse correlation: the bulk protein of this fraction was eluted by AMP. It was shown that the two phosphorylase b forms eluted by glucose-6-phosphate and AMP differ by their kinetic and physico-chemical properties as well as by the SH-group reactivity. The phosphorylase b forms eluted by the nucleotide were practically uninhibited by glucose-6-phosphate. It can thus be assumed that the equilibrium between the "active" (R) and "inactive" (T) conformations of the protein changes depending on metabolic peculiarities of a given tissue used as a source for enzyme isolation.
