Abstract :In this report, cowpea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vigna unguiculata); peroxidase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(POD); enzyme was isolated and characterized. Four different amino benzohydrazide derivatives were used as ligand in affinity chromatography and with 4-amino 3-bromo 2-methylbenzohidrazide, 53.6% purification yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(91.6 fold); was achieved in a single-step. The molecular weight of the purified cowpea POD showing single band at SDS-PAGE was calculated as 39 kDa. For evaluating the cowpea PODs affinity to ligands, IC50 and Ki values were determined. The molecule that caused the highest inhibition at the lowest concentration was found to be a 4-amino 3-bromo 5-chlorobenzohydrazide with the IC50 value of 78 µM. In the characterization assays, optimum parameters were determined for purified cowpea POD as pH= 6.0, ionic strength= 0.3 M and temperature= 40 ºC. In addition, substrate specificity tests were carried out with guaiacol, H2O2, 4-methylcatechol and ABTS substrates. According to the obtained data, the KM values of these substrates were calculated as 7.21 mM, 17.03 mM, 7.28 mM and 49.21 mM, respectively.
