abstract：:A procedure for isolation of two iso-plastocyanins from parsley has been described here. Three consecutive chromatographic steps on DE-52-Whatman cellulose were applied for isolation of two total plastocyanin (PC) fractions, oxidized [PC(II)] and reduced [PC(I)]. By chromatofocusing of PC(II) on Polybuffer exchanger 7...
