Abstract: The amino acid composition of hydrolysates of crystalline Japanese-radish peroxidase a has been determined mainly by chromatography on columns of Dowex 50–X8. The recoveries of the residues and the nitrogen were 93.52 and 100.90 per cent respectively, both including those of the carbohydrate residues and protohematin. The analyses indicate the presence of the following 384 amino acid residues, 65 carbohydrate residues and 1 protohematin in the molecule of peroxidase a (mol. wt. 54500): Asp51Glu26Gly6Ala64Val20Leu36Ileu15Ser51Thr27(Cys-)10 Met4Pro17- Hypro12Phe18Tyr3Try2His4Lys7Arg11(-CONH2)50Mannose35Xylose11Arabinose4Hexosamine15Protohematin1.
