Abstract
ClostrIdium histolyticum collagenase (clostridiopeptidase A, EC 3.4.4.19) was purified by batchwise separation with DEAE-cellulose followed by affinity chromatography on a column of alkali-treated elastin. The N-terminal amino acid profile of elastin isolated from bovine ligamentum nuchae using this enzyme preparation was compared with that of a duplicate sample purified with a mixture of collagenase I and II (Yoshida, E, and Noda, H. (1965) Biochim. Biopsys. Acta 105, 562-574). An approx. three-fold decrease in the molar concentration of N-terminal residues and a considerable reduction in their number was obtained by using the former enzyme preparation.Entities:
