Popis: Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-P2ase,EC 3.1.3.11) purified from livers of fed rabbits has been reported to contain tryptophan, which is not present in the enzyme purified from livers of fasted animals. We now show that the tryptophan arises from small amounts of active or inactive rabbit liver aldolase in the Fru-P2ase preparations. Fru-P2ase free of tryptophan may conveniently be prepared by raising the temperature of the heat step in the purification procedure to 67 °C.
