Popis: PARTIAL purification of a cytochrome component from Porphyra tenera, a component which has absorption peaks similar to that of cytochrome c or c 1 was first reported by Yakushiji1. Recently, Katoh and Takamiya (ref. 2 and Katoh, S., and Takamiya, A., personal communication) succeeded in obtaining a crystalline preparation of this component by means of diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column chromatography and reported the redox-potential of this and other components in marine algae. We also have crystallized the cytochrome by means of a cation-exchanger at pH 5.0. Since the diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column procedure is possible at pH 7.0, this procedure may be better; our method can be used to purify not only basic enzyme proteins, but also those that are stable in acidic pH.
