The subunit composition of human liver alpha-L-fucosidase was studied by using three different procedures for treating and electrophoresing the purified enzyme. Although the presence on only one subunit was found by conventional procedures using sodium dodecyl sulphate and urea, two non-identical subunits with mol. wts. of 59 000 and 54 000 were found when the alpha-L-fucosidase was reduced and S-carboxymethylated with iodoacetate followed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels containing 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate and 8.0 M-urea.
