Mechanism of Precipitation of Proteins by Polyethylene Glycols
The apparent solubilities of various proteins (14,000 to 670,000 daltons) were measured in the presence of polyethylene glycols (PEGS) of different sizes. All of the solubility curves, determined by measur ing the protein concentration in the supernate of centrifuged mixtures, exhibited the characteristic linear dependence of log S (g/liter) on PEG concentration (%, w/v). For human albumin in P...

متن کاملMicrobial degradation of polyethylene glycols.
Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycols and polyethylene glycols (PEG) with molecular weight up to 20,000 were degraded by soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa able to use a PEG of average molecular weight 20,000 was isolated from soil. Washed cells oxidized mono- and tetraethylene glycols, but O2 consumption was not detectable when such cells were incubated for short per...
متن کاملConsumption with Large Sip Sizes Increases Food Intake and Leads to Underestimation of the Amount Consumed
BACKGROUND A number of studies have shown that bite and sip sizes influence the amount of food intake. Consuming with small sips instead of large sips means relatively more sips for the same amount of food to be consumed; people may believe that intake is higher which leads to faster satiation. This effect may be disturbed when people are distracted. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to...
متن کاملA novel method of preparation of small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles by polyethylene glycol precipitation.
A novel method of brush border membrane vesicle (BBMV) preparation from the small intestinal mucosa using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation has been presented. This preparation is compared with calcium-precipitated BBMVs in marker enzyme enrichment, contamination by other subcellular membranes, transport of glucose, and lipid composition. PEG-precipitated BBMVs are comparable with calcium...
