Partitioning of Cellulolytic Activity in the Polyethylene Glycol/dextran Two-phase Systems

چکیده
This study is concerned with the partitioning of cellulolytic activity in the polyethylene glycol/dextran two-phase systems. In the system of 10% (w/w) polyethylene glycol 1500/5% (w/w) dextran 500,000/80% (w/w) crude enzyme at the pH 5, 100%, yield of cellulolytic activity from Penicillium sp. in the top phase was achieved in a single extraction step. Addition of KH2PO4 to this system at a concentration of 15 mmol/L improved the purification factor in the top phase for cellulolytic activity from crude preparation to a value of 2.6, although it had an adverse effect on the yield in the same phase.

Background: Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH EC 1.4.1.20) is a NAD+-dependent enzyme that performs the reversible oxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine to phenylpyruvate. It plays an important role in detection and screening of phenylketonuria (PKU) diseases and production of chiral intermediates as well. The main goal of this study was to find a simple and rapid alternative method for pur...
