Abstract

Glutathione S-transferase from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis can be purified in large quantities using bromosulphonphthalein-glutathione as an affinity ligand. The fold of purification is affected by pH flow rate and the volume of enzyme eluted through the column. High folds of purification can be obtained-at a flow rate of approximately 14 ml per hour at pH 9.0 using large volumes of crude enzyme. The maximum specific activity so far obtained is in the region of 214 umoles per minute per milligramme protein resulting in a 832-fold purification. This method can now be adapted commercially for the purification of latex glutathione S-transferase in large quantities.
