title: Glyoxalase I (GLO I, EC 4.4.1.5) polymorphism in hemolysates and bloodstains.
abstract: Electrophoretic patterns of glyoxalase I (GLO I) phenotypes were evaluated in hemolysates and simulated case bloodstains in relation to duration and conditions of storage and type of substrate. The bloodstains deposited on different substrates were exposed to temperatures -20 degrees C, 4 degrees C, 18 degrees C, 37 degrees C and 56 degrees C. Rapid decrease in the enzyme activity was found in the conditions of high temperature. Character of the substrate noticeably affected GLO I detectability.
