In a previous publication (1, Paper V of this series) the purification and properties of the inositol-cleaving enzyme were described. It was shown that a highly purified enzyme was obtained from rat kidneys which cleaved inositol to D-ghCUI’OniC acid. The purified enzyme was shown to possess SH groups and 1 gram atom of iron per mole of enzyme. Both the SH groups and the iron are necessary for ...
