Abstract
THE separation of bovine carboxyhæmoglobin and whale carboxymyoglobin by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose has been described by Brown1. Recently, Flodin2 has discussed the fractionation of some peptides and proteins utilizing the molecular sieve action of cross-linked dextran gels (‘Sephadex’). In the course of our work on the chromatography and microheterogeneity of myoglobin, we have found that oxyhæmoglobin and ferrimyoglobin can be easily separated on ‘Sephadex G-75’ and ‘Sephadex G-50’ columns.
