Journal ArticleDOI
A distinct β-hexosaminidase isoenzyme separated from human leukemic lymphocytes and myelocytes
TL;DR: The beta-hexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30) isoenzymes were separated on the basis of their carbohydrate moieties by an affinity chromatography using immobilized phenylboronate to find an extra isoenzyme that may be a marker for the leukemic conversion of hematopoietic tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the active site of β-hexosaminidase from latex of Ficus glabrata
TL;DR: Substrate competition, competitive inhibition studies and Arrhenius plots confirm that, in the hexosamidase, only one kind of active site is responsible for both activities, suggesting that the active site binds the N -acetyl moiety of the substrate and a hydrophobic interaction of the methyl group is involved.
Journal Article
alpha-L-Fucosidase activity and isoenzyme characteristics analyzed by chromatofocusing in normal and leukemic lymphocytes.
TL;DR: Palpha-L-Fucosidase (EC 3.51) activity and isoenzyme characteristics were analyzed in normal lymphocyte subpopulations, chronic lymphocytic leukemia sub Populations, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia blasts, revealing that pH 5.0 was optimal in normal and leukemic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isoenzymes separation by chromatofocusing and kinetic properties of β-hexosaminidase from Spirographis Spallanzanii, Allolobophora Caliginosa and Hirudo medicinalis
TL;DR: Activity of hexosaminidase A and B increased 300–800-fold by purification scheme, which included ammonium sulphate fractionation, Sephadex G-200 column chromatography, concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromatofocusing coupled with automated assay for beta-hexosaminidase isoenzymes in GM2 gangliosidosis.
TL;DR: The use of an automated and reliable method is described for the identification of homozygotes and carriers of the GM2 gangliosidosis.
