Cytochrome c peroxidase, which effectively catalyzes the peroxidatic oxidation of ferrocytochrome c, was discovered in and purified from bakers’ yeast by Altschul, Abrams, and Hogness (1) in 1940. Two years later the same authors (2) obtained a highly purified preparation of this enzyme by an improved method which included autolysis in the presence of toluene followed by extraction with water, precipitation with ammonium sulfate and trichloroacetic acid, fractionation with ethanol, and absorption on aluminum hydroxide. Since their purification method was somewhat cumbersome and gave a rather poor yield (about 2a/,), subsequent workers have failed to obtain this enzyme in such a high purity as the original workers achieved. Thus all the subsequent studies on this enzyme so far published have been carried out with less pure preparations (3-11). The present paper describes the purification of cytochrome c peroxidase from bakers’ yeast by a new chromatographic method with a higher yield. Some properties of the purified enzyme are presented. The stoichiometry between the enzyme, H202, and ferrocytochrome c will be described in the accompanying paper (12).
