title: Acid protease in adult Schistosoma japonicum (Formosan strain).
abstract: Acid protease in Schistosoma japonicum (Formosan strain) was found. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was found to be 4.4 and 6.0 by the isoelectrofocusing technique and the molecular weight was estimated to be about 31,000 daltons determined by Sephadex gel filtration. The Km of the enzyme for human globin was found to be 2.9 X 10(-4) M.
