Rhodopseudomonas palustris uroporphyrinogen I synthetase (URO‐S) has been chemically attached to Sepharose 4B and some of its properties have been studied. When 7–8 mg protein/ml activated Sepharose was used, immobilized URO‐S retained 45% of the activity of the original soluble preparation, with a coupling yield of 66% after a period of 15 h. Optimal incubation conditions for the activity of gel‐enzyme were determined. Unlike the soluble enzyme, the Sepharose‐bound URO‐S showed a biphasic substrate saturation curve, indicating that a protein conformational change had occurred during the process of immobilization. Immobilized URO‐S stored at 4 degrees C for 35 days retained 90% of activity and when repeatedly used, up to 5 times, retained 48% of the original activity. Attachment of URO‐S to Sepharose led to an enhanced thermal stability. 1990 The Swiss Political Science Review
