The Citrate Condensing Enzyme of Pigeon Breast Muscle and Moth Flight Muscle.

Abstract

Citrate condensing enzyme has been purified from pigeon breast muscle and from moth (Cecropia and Cynthia) flight muscle. The preparations were homogeneous proteins as judged by ultracentrifugal data and starch gel electrophoresis. The kinetic behavior of the two preparations was studied using a newly developed assay for citrate condensing enzyme.
