Abstract
An enzyme preparation having specific bilirubin degrading activity is described. It is isolated from plants (e.g. artichokes) of the Compositae family. It exhibits higher specificity towards bilirubin and has higher specific activity (i.e. turnover number of moles of substrate per minute per mg of protein) than similar enzymes isolated from other sources. Assay compositions, analytical elements and methods for use of such are also described.
