The pellet so obtained was resuspended in cold saline (2 ml) and dialysed. The dialysed enzyme was loaded onto a column of Sephadex G-50 (120 cm × 1.0 cm) equilibrated with 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer‚ pH 8. The column was eluted at a flow rate of 1 ml / 6 min. The elution profile of gel filtration chromatography is shown in the (Fig: 1). The fractions
