Abstract

Polyamine oxidase from Penicillium chrysogenum oxidized spermine rapidly and sper midine slightly at pH 7.5.The apparent Km values for spermine and spermidine were calcu lated to be 2.25•~10-5M and 9.54•~10-6M, respectively.The relative maximum velocities for spermine and spermidine were 3.37•~10-3M (H2O2) per min per mg of protein and 2.08
