“…For another phosphatase, fructose 1:6 diphosphatase, there is evidence that different methods of preparation which allow different degrees of autolysis produce enzymes with different electrophoretic mobilities (Mokrasch & McGilvery, 1956). Other phosphatases which are included among the increasingly large number of proteins that can be resolved by chromatographic or electrophoretic techniques into two or more active components are pancreatic ribonuclease (Martin & Porter, 1951), horse-radish phosphatase (Boman & Westlund, 1956), sweet-potato phosphatase (Ito, Kondo & Watanabe, 1955), rattle-snake-venom phosphodiesterase (Boman & Kaletta, 1956) and yeast phosphomonoesterase (Tsuboi, Wiener & Hudson, 1957). The pea phosphatase has no significant effect on the diester bonds of either diphenyl phosphate or ribonucleic acid, and would therefore probably be classified as a monoesterase.…”
