Interferons: Purification and Physicochemical Aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
Antiviral interferon activity in any one species can be exhibited by a variety of substances that differ in their physical and chemical properties, but the nature of these differences is not understood. Conditions that can lead to the formation of diverse types of interferons have been outlined. Reasons have been adduced why, for certain purposes, purification of interferons is desirable or even necessary, and examples have been presented to show how and to what extent this has been achieved. In spite of some very high purification factors, not a single interferon has been obtained as a pure substance. Therefore, all available knowledge of physical and chemical properties has been obtained by indirect means.

Background and Objectives: Laccase is the most abundant member of protein family that catalyzes the oxidation of substituted phenols. Laccases are used as biocatalysts for decolorization and bleaching in dye industries, detoxification in environment, and juice clarification in food industries. The present study aimed at producing recombinant laccase, purifying with high yield and fold, and char...

Before describing the structure and mechanism of action of a protein, it must first be subject to purification procedure. Protein purification is a set of processes in which one or a small number of proteins are purified from a complex compound that may be a complete cell, tissue, or organism. Understanding the functions, structural properties, and interactions of the protein are directly re...
