Abstract: Cholinesterase from duck serum was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by salting out twice with ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The enzyme was purified 278.5-fold and the activity recovery 17.8% percent was obtained. Studies on the properties of the Cholinesterase showed that the optimum temperature was 37℃ and the optimum pH was between 7.5~8.0. The enzyme would be inhibited by excess butyryl-thiocholine iodide.

Key words: Cholinesterase, duck serum, salt out, ion-exchang chromatography, gel filtration
