Maize alpha-Glucan Phosphorylase [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1975
The major isozyme of alpha-glucan phosphorylase from developing maize seeds has been purified to homogeneity as verified by gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation and immunoprecipitation. The enzyme appears to be dimeric and has an estimated molecular weight of 223000 +/- 10000 based on ultracentrifugation, dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, and ...
