Abstract
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) was purified 97-fold from a halophilic archaebacterium Haloferax mediterranei, with a specific activity of 2.8. The enzyme was characterized as a Class II aldolase on the basis of its inhibition by EDTA and other metal chelators. The enzyme had a specific requirement for divalent metal Fe(2+) for activity. Sulfhydryl compounds enhanced aldolase activity.Entities:
