Isolation of urinary 17-ketosteroid conjugates by ammonium sulfate precipitation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ammonium sulfate precipitation of urinary 17-ketosteroid conjugates is a rapid, effective method for isolating and purifying them. Negligible quantities of pigment are produced during acid hydrolysis of solutions of the precipitated conjugates. Despite elimination of nonspecific chromogenic material, colorimetric determinations of Zimmerman chromogens with use of the Allen correction of absorbances [J. Clin. Endocrinol 10, 71(1950)] gave comparable 17-ketosteroid values for solutions of the precipitate and for urines. Recoveries of urinary 17.hydroxysteroid conjugates were variable when the ammonium sulfate procedure was used.

Hydrolysis of urinary conjugated 17-ketosteroids by acetate buffer.
It has long been recognized that the usual methods for cleavage of steroidal conjugates by strong acids may effect various transformations (1). In an earlier publication (1) one particular alteration, the conversion of a 3&hydroxy-17-ketosteroid to a non-digitonin-precipitable (“a”)-17-ketosteroid’ by standard HCl hydrolysis was studied. This conversion could be avoided by use of the hydrolytic...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of a New Thermoalkalophilic Lipase from Soil Bacteria
Lipases are diversified enzymes in their properties and substrate specificity, which make them attractive tools for various industrial applications. In this study, an alkaline thermostable lipase producing bacteria were isolated from soil of different regions of Isfahan province (Iran) and its lipase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. To select a the...

متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a thymic factor.
A protein was isolated from bovine thymus that was shown to accelerate the appearance of hemolysin to sheep erythrocytes in neonatal mice. The isolation procedure consisted of saline homogenization, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and methanol precipitation, followed by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and two chromatographies on Sephadex G-150. The protein was shown to be homogene...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of 3-ketosteroid Δ1-dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1.
3-Ketosteroid Δ(1)-dehydrogenase plays a crucial role in the early steps of steroid degradation by introducing a double bond between the C1 and C2 atoms of the A-ring of its 3-ketosteroid substrates. The 3-ketosteroid Δ(1)-dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus erythropolis SQ1, a 56 kDa flavoprotein, was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at room temperature. The crystals grew...
