Abstract

1. The enzyme system from pig liver responsible for the αβ-elimination of l-serine O-sulphate was purified 1000-fold. 2. Isoelectric focusing produced two enzymically active fractions with isoelectric points at pH5.6 and 5.9 respectively. 3. Osmometry and gel filtration showed both enzymes to possess molecular weights of approx. 54000. 4. The separate activities exhibited similar amino acid compositions.
