Partial Purification of the NADH-Nitrate Reductase Complex from Chlorella pyrenoidosa1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The nitrate reductase complex from Chlorella pyrenoidosa has been purified by a procedure which includes as main steps, ammonium sulfate fractionation, polyethylene glycol treatment, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The Michaelis constants for NADH, FAD, and NO3− in the NADH-nitrate reductase assay are 10 μm, 2.6 μm, and 0.23 mm, respectively. Heat treatment exerts varying effects on the enzymatic activities associated with the nitrate reductase complex.
