Purification of Prothrombin and Thrombin : Chemical Properties of Purified Preparations*
نویسنده
چکیده
We wish to describe certain simplifications in the technique previously described (13, 14) for the purification of prothrombin and thrombin. With new adaptations it is possible to process large quantities of plasma and at the same time to obtain products 2 to 5 times as potent as those previously reported from this laboratory. A brief survey of the chemical properties of these newly obtained products is also given.

Purification and Partial Characterization of a Thrombin-Like Enzyme (AH144) from Venom of Iranian Snake Agkistrodon Halys
The snake venom´s thrombin-like enzymes comprise a number of serine proteases, which are functionally and structurally related to thrombin. Purification and partial characterization of a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of the Iranian snake, Agkistrodon halys, was the aim of this study. Purification was carried out by a combination of variety of chromatographic methods that included: gel...
متن کاملPartial Purification and Characterization of Anticoagulant Factor from the Snake (Echis carinatus) Venom
Objective(s): Snake venoms contain complex mixture of proteins with biological activities. Some of these proteins affect blood coagulation and platelet function in different ways. Snake venom toxin may serve as a starting material for drug design to combat several pathophysiological problems such as cardiovascular disorders. In the present study, purification of anticoagulation facto...
متن کاملStudies on the Nature and the Purification of the Coagulase-reacting Factor and Its Relation to Prothrombin
The coagulase-reacting factor (CRF) of human plasma has been purified, concentrated, and largely freed of prothrombin activity by Seitz filtration, absorbtion on hyflo-amphogel columns, controlled phosphate buffer elution, and fractional ammonium sulfate precipitation. The purified CRF preparations localized between the beta and the gamma globulin position on paper electrophoresis, and the prin...
متن کاملKinetics of Conversion of Prothrombin to Thrombin by Biological Activators I. DEMONSTRATION OF A PROTHROMBIN DERIVATIVE WHICH REACTS WITH PROTEOLYTIC
Purified prothrombin can be converted into thrombin in different ways (2), namely, by the use of biological activators, by the action of high concentrations of sodium citrate, and by treatment with trypsin. Biological activation of prothrombin requires lipoprotein tissue-factor(s) that have prothrombin-converting or thromboplastic activity, protein serum-factor(s) which augment thromboplastic a...
