Abstract

1. The molecular weight of arginine kinase from lobster muscle has been determined by three procedures: ultracentrifuge analysis, gel filtration and density-gradient centrifugation. 2. The three methods give similar results and the best estimate of the molecular weight is 37000. 3. The enzyme does not readily show association–dissociation phenomena. 4. The usefulness of density-gradient centrifugation for determinations of molecular weight is briefly discussed.
