I n E arlier work from this laboratory it was shown that arylsulphatase of chicken brain resembles arylsulphatase A of other animal species in several of its properties but exhibits certain characteristics similar to that of arylsulphatase B (F arooqui and B achhawat , 1971). Recently the arylsulphatase A of chicken brain was purified and it was demonstrated that the purified enzyme could desulphate cerebroside‐3‐sulphate also (F arooqui and B achhawat , 1972). In the present report we have made a study of the kinetic properties of this unique arylsulphatase A purified from chicken brain using p ‐nitrocatechol sulphate and cerebroside‐3‐sulphate as substrates.
