Propriedades da transcarbamilase de ornitina parcialmente purificada de folhas de feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Partial purification and properties of ornithine transcarbamylase from bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Resumos

Transcarbamilase de ornitina (E.C. 2.1.3.3) extraída de folhas de feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. carioca) com 31 dias de maturidade foi parcialmente purificada com sulfato de amônio em pH 7,2 e 7,8. A enzima apresentou as seguintes propriedades: pH ótimo 7,8, temperatura ótima 40°C, Constante de Michaelis para ornitina de 3,18mM e para carbamil-fosfato de 3,93mM.

Ornithine transcarbamylase (E.C. 2.1.3.3) was extracted from leaves of bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. carioca) and partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation at pH 7,2 and 7.8. The enzyme preparation showed an optimum pH of 7.8 and Km of 3.18mM for ornithine and of 3.93mM for carbamil-phosphate.
