Abstract
IT has previously been observed that crystalline salivary amylase gives two peaks in free electrophoresis1. The work recorded here shows that a sample of salivary amylase crystallized three times, which gave a single peak in the ultracentrifuge (Fig. 1), could be separated into four bands by disk electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel2 (Fig. 2).
