[Isolation of phospholipase D from cotton seeds].

A method of isolating homogenous phospholipase D from cotton seeds is described. The homogeneity of the enzyme preparation is demonstrated by means of polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis, gel filtration through Sephadex G-200 and determination of N-terminal amino acid residue, which turned to be glutamic acid. Molecular weight of the enzyme is found to be 71000 +/- 3000. Several equilibrium forms of the enzyme are observed.
