Abstract
ERYTHROCYTE catalase can be assayed in the usual quantitative way as well as by qualitative starch-gel and starch-block electrophoresis1–3. The electrophoretic method permits a more subtle characterization of its normal and abnormal properties. In comparative examinations of catalase from cord blood and blood samples of abnormal haemoglobin carriers, no abnormal electrophoretic behaviour could be observed3. An atypical catalase was identified recently by a somewhat slower electrophoretic mobility in some members of a Caucasian family4.
