Studies on cow liver porphobilinogen deaminase

Further properties of cow liver deaminase are reported. Highly purified deaminase migrated as a single band on starch and polyacrylamide gels electrophoresis. Molecular weight determinations by means of gel filtration on calibrated columns of Sephadex G-100, Sepharose 4 B and B10-Gel P-100 gave valu...
