succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), ion-exchange chromatography, isofom, bumble bee, Bombus terrestris.Abstract
An effective procedure for purification of the succinate dehydrogenase from mitochondria of
flight muscles of bumble bee Bombus terrestris has been developed. The procedure includes fractionation
of proteins from the mitochondrial fraction by ammonium sulfate, gel filtration, ion-exchange
chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The enzyme was purified up to homogeneity. The specific activity
of homogeneous preparation was 7.14 units per mg of protein. The enzyme from flight muscles of bumble
bee is made up of one isoform. The substrate specificity has been investigated
