Abstract

Lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) from carp (Cyprinus carpio) hepatopancreas was purified by the single-step chromatography on thiophilic sorbent. Hydrophobic negative sorption was used as negative adsorption step for final purification. Final specific activity was 8.88 U/mg protein and the yield 84%. The enzyme is not adsorbed during hydrophobic interaction chromatography, but proteolytic activity is adsorbed completely on hydrophobic sorbent. Thus hydrophobic adsorption can be used as a prepurification step.
