Figure 5. PPPase activities in animal tissue supernatant fractions.
(A) PPPi hydrolysis in various organs of the rat, and the quail, and in pig brain at pH 7.0 in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ (n = 3–9). (B) pH dependence of PPPase hydrolysis in rat brain in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ (n = 3). (C) Activation of PPPase activity by divalent cations. The PPPi concentration was 0.5 mM and the incubation was carried out at 37°C. (Means ± SD, n = 3–9).
