Abstract

Adenine deaminase (adenine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.2) has been found to occur in Crithidia fasciculata with a specific activity higher than that of the same enzymes of bacteria and yeasts. It is remarkable for its stability to heat, exhibiting no appreciable loss of activity after 60 min at 55 °C. It occurs in the soluble portion of cell extracts but can be released into the suspending medium by osmotic and/or cold shock.
