Purification and properties of a fibrinolytic enzyme fromBacillus subtilis

Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

A fibrinolytic enzyme obtained from B. subtilis was purified, using DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The preparation was homogeneous as tested by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and disc electrophoresis. The molecular weight of this enzyme was 29.400 estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 7.2 Copper ions significantly increased enzyme activity, while Zn++ and Mn++ caused marked inhibition.
