엽록체 fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase를 완두 잎으로부터 1,300배 정제하였다. 정제된 효소는 거의 순수하였고 SDS polyacrylamide 전기영동하여 얻은 monomer의 분자량은 약 40,000이었다. 효소는 pH 7.5에서 활성이 없었으나 dithiothreitol 혹은 알카리 pH에서 활성화가 되었다. 이 결과는 분리된 fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase가 엽록체로부터 얻어진 것임을 나타낸다. Fructose-1,6-phosphate와 $Mg^{++}$에 대한 효소 포회곡선은 Hill 상수 2.6 및 3.1을 가진 sigmoidal한 모양을 보여주는데 이는 효소가 multimer로 구성된 allosteric 한 것임을 알 수 있다. 최고 활성의 반에 요구되는 기질농도는 $40{mu}M$로서 이는 시금치 엽록체 효소에 대한 $80{mu}M$값 (Zimmermann et al., 1976)보다 작았다.
Chloroplast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was purified 1,300 fold from pea leaves. The purified enzyme appeared homogeneous and the approximate molecular weight of the monomer was 40,000, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was inactive at pH 7.5, while it was activated by dithiothreitol or alkaline pH, indicating that the purified fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was originated from chloroplast. The enzyme saturation curves with fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and $Mg^{++}$ show sigmoidal shapes with almost same Hill coefficients (2.6 and 3.1, respectively), suggesting that the enzyme is composed of multimer. The substrate concentration required for half-maximal activity was $40{mu}M$ which is a comparable value $(80{mu}M)$ for spinach chloroplast fructose bisphosphatase (Zimmermann et al., 1976).
