Carboxypeptidase B from Salmo Salar eggs was purified by CM-cellulose, 0.5 ammonium sulfate saturation, DEAE-cellulose, and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and its enzymatic properties were investigated. Optimum temperature was 55℃, pH optima were 4.0 and 7.0 at 37℃, and the enzyme was stable at pH 2.0∼3.0 and 5.5∼7.0 for 1.5h. This enzyme showed substrate specificity hydrolyzing the peptide bond of glycyl-L-arginine. Its Km values was 0.21mM, and the enzyme activity was stimulated by Cu2+ and Fe3+, while inhibited by Zn2+. The lysine was found to be competitive inhibitor and its Ki value was determined to be 4.3mM. Molecular weight of this enzyme was determined to be 36,400 daltons by SDS-PAGE and the enzyme was monomeric protein composed of 19 kinds of amino acid residues.
