Abstract | ||||
Uricase (EC 1.7.3.3) is an enzyme involved in the purine breakdown pathway. The enzyme was isolated from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) leaves and purified by 80% ammonium sulfate, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200. The final specific activity was 230.76 Umg-1 protein and the final yield of purification was 2.87 % with 133.38-fold. The optimal pH and the optimal temperature were 8.0 and 40°C. The enzyme was inactivated by the chelating agent as α-α-dipyridyl and the IC50 value of α-α-dipyridyl was 9.03 mM. | ||||
