The Purification And Characterization Of Cytochrome B₅ From Porcine Kidney, M. Dean Klingler
Theses and Dissertations
A soluble form of cytochrome b_5, with a 413/280 nm ratio of nearly unity, has been isolated and purified from porcine kidney using fractional precipitation, ion exchange resins, and gel filtration procedures. The cytochrome b_5 shows heat stability up to 50° and is stable in the pH range 6.0 to 8.5. The oxidized protein exhibits an absorption maximum at 413 nm, while the reduced form shows three peaks: 423, 526, 556 nm. Molecular weight determinations have given variable results, suggesting the possibility of a polymer composed of four and eight units of a 13,500 molecular weight protomer. This study has …
