A crystalline acyl phosphatase has been obtained from rabbit muscle. The enzyme was homogeneous by ultracentrifugation (s20,w = 2.1) and disc electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel at pH 4.5. The crystals had a specific activity of 860 units per mg of protein which was a 390-fold purification over the initial acid extract of rabbit muscle.
