Isolation and characterization of an unusual form of L-amino acid oxidase from King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) venom
The L-amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.2) from King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) venom was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 140000 when examined by gel filtration and 68000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had an isoelect...
