The seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia contain a family of five isolectins (GS-I) (L. A. Murphy and I. J. Goldstein (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 4739-4742) that bind with high affinity to glycoconjugates containing terminal nonreducing alpha-linked galactose residues. Here, we report that GS-I itself is

β¦ Synopsis
This report describes the use of affinity chromatography on Sepharose-bound concanavalin A for the purification of horseradish peroxidase. Samples of horseradish peroxidase with A .,03:A280 ratios ranging from 0.62 to 2.45 were purified to AIOa:AZSO ratios ranging from approximately 2.8 to 3.1 with the recovery of 73% or more of the enzymatic activity. Characterization of the purified horseradish peroxidase showed an increased enzymatic activity with respect to both absorbance at 403 nm and protein content.
