Abstract
Application of isoelectric focusing in thin-layer polyacrylamide gels (IEF/PAG) to the study of opine dehydrogenases in marine invertebrates was described.The optimized IEF/PAG and the following activity bands detection showed high resolution and good reproducibility.It was useful for the detection of multi-functional enzymes which metabolize two (or more) distinct opines, and for the analysis of multiple enzyme forms (allozymes and isoenzymes) in tissues of marine invertebrates.
