Glucose oxidase(EC 1.1.3.4) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from Aspergillus niger by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, and ultrafiltration. Two active fractions A and B, of glucose oxidase were obtained from the hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl sepharose CL-4B. The enzyme A and B were glycoproteins with the same denatured molecular weight of 78, 000 and had specific activities of 2, 191 and 1, 273-units/mg proteins, respectively. But the two enzymes showed differences in native molecular weight that was measured by HPLC gel filteration, maximum absorbtion wavelength and isoelectric point. The enzyme A oxidized B-D-glucose only and was resistant to sodium dodecyl sulfate. Activity optimum was found at 30℃ and pH 3.5. Also the enzyme A was inhibited greatly by Hg2+(10mM). The results of chemical modification experiments suggested that cysteine and cystine residues might be involved in the active site of the enzyme A.

Aspergillus niger 균체로부터 황산암모늄 분별침전, 이온교환 크로마토그래피, 한외여과, 소수성 크로마토그래피 과정을 거쳐 glucose oxidase( EC 1.1. 3.4)를 순수 정제하였다. 최종 정제과정인 소수성 크로마토그래퍼에 의해 소수성은 다르나 glucose oxidase의 활성을 갖는 A, B fraction이 얻어졌고, 그의 비활성도는 각각 2,191, 1,273units/mg이었다. A와 B는 분자량 78,000의 당단백질임이 확인되었으나, HPLC 겔 여과로 측정한 분자량, 최대 흡수 파장, 등전점 등에 차이를 보였다. 효소 A는 B-D-glucose를 특이적으로 산화하였고, 촉매 활성에 대한 최적 온도 는 30℃, 최적 pH는 3.5이었으며, SDS에 대하여 비교적 강한 저항성을 나타내었고, 촉매 기능은 10mM Hg2+에 의해 급격히 억제되었다. 화학 수식 실험 결과 cysteine/ cystine중의 SH기가 glucose oxidase의 활성에 관여하고 있음이 시사되었다.
