Pig-heart branched-chain amino acid transaminase (EC 2.6.1.42) was purified to near homogeneity with a yield of 27%. A prepurification was performed by heat treatment, gel chromatography and DEAE-Sepharose methods. For the final step, several affinity gels were tested and the 1 containing cycloserine coupled to CNBr [cyanogen bromide]-activated Sepharose-4B was selected. This effected an additional 5-fold purification with a yield of 60%. The present affinity results are compared with corresponding studies with other aminotransferases in an attempt to find possible universal techniques for their purification.
