Abstract
Studies have been conducted with the arginase (l-arginine amidinohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.1) of two legumes: jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC., a l-canavanine-containing plant and soybean, Glycine max, a canavanine-free species. Analyses of the arginase obtained from gradient-purified mitochondria of these legumes revealed that the arginine-dependent (ADA) and canavanine-dependent activities (CDA) were localized within this organelle.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
