1. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (purine nucleoside:orthophosphate ribosyltransferase, E.C. 2.4.2.1) from liver of cattle, Bos taurus, was purified to homogeneity. Some properties of the enzymes from three different bovine tissues were compared and discussed. 2. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 83,000, a sedimentation coefficient of 5.3 S, a Stokes' radius of 3.71 nm, a frictional ratio of 1.30 and a subunit molecular weight of 30,000. 3. Optimal pH for xanthosine degradation is around 5.5, whereas a broad pH activity profile for inosine degradation was observed between 5.0 and 7.5. Lineweaver-Burk plots curved downward at high concentrations of substrates, inosine, phosphate and arsenate.
