Abstract
A method for the preparation of allosteric ribonuclease from bovine pancreas is described. The effects of freeze-drying ribonuclease from acid and alkaline solutions on plots of velocity versus substrate concentration for the hydrolysis of 2′:3′-cyclic CMP are examined. Comparison of these plots with the plots obtained with severeal commercial enzyme preparations indicates that the conformation of the enzyme is dependent on the method of preparation. Aging experiments demonstrate that further conformational changes occur at different rates, depending on the methods of storage. Results suggest that the allosteric behaviour of ribonuclease has not always been observed with commercial preparations, owing to variations in methods of preparation and storage of the enzyme.
