Separation of the urinary excretory products of the organomercurial diuretic, meralluride (Mercuhydrin) has been possible using adsorption chromatography. Practically all of the mercury is excreted in a form closely resembling the administered meralluride. Most of the excretion occurs within the first 6 hours in both cardiac patients and normal subjects. The amount of mercury excreted as degrad...

Type A botulinum neurotoxin was purified from toxic crystals by adsorption to p-aminophenyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside coupled to CH-Sepharose 4B. At pH 6.3, the toxic complex was held by the binding between the ligand and the hemagglutinin of the complex; the toxin is eluted selectively by dissociating the complex with buffer-saline of pH 7.9. The single-step affinity chromatography recovere...

A series of siliceous adsorbents with chemically bonded phases (CBPs) of different polarity were tested as sorbents for trapping air pollutants (petroleum ether) using controlled setup. Moreover, special attention was paid to the potential role of metal impurities as strong adsorption sites. Sorbents were characterized by various physico-chemical methods, such as porosimetry, inductively couple...

A new antibiotic mildiomycin, strongly active against powdery mildew, was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptoverticilliun: rimofaciens B-98891. It is a water-soluble basic antibiotic and was purified by ion-exchange and adsorption chromatography. The molecular formula of the purified compound was determined to be C19H30N8O9(H2O) from physical and chemical data. The UV and NMR spectra ...

Perturbation chromatography with multi component gas carrier and non-equilibrium thermodynamics liner law was applied for discussion of the interference effect and the displacement effect on mass transfer in multi component gas adsorption. Moment analysis method and stop & go simulation method were utilized to obtain each mass transfer parameters of adsorbate gases. Dependency of micropore diff...

The term immobilized enzymes refers to "enzymes physically confined or localized in a certain defined region of space with retention of their catalytic activities, and which can be used repeatedly and continuously." Immobilized enzymes are currently the subject of considerable interest because of their advantages over soluble enzymes. In addition to their use in industrial processes, the immobi...

The adsorption of the proton-pump inhibitor omeprazole was investigated using RP-LC with chemometric models combined with adsorption isotherm modelling to study the effect of pH and type of organic modifier (i.e., acetonitrile or methanol). The chemometric approach revealed that omeprazole was tailing with methanol and fronting with acetonitrile along with increased fronting at higher pH. The i...

This paper deals with the analysis of pesticide residues by chromatographic methods in samples of plant origin. Emphasis is put on the isolation and clean-up steps of the sample preparation for GC or LC determination. The problems of the extraction solvent selection and clean-up procedures using different types of adsorption column chromatography or gel permeation chromatography are discussed. ...

1 The unusual behavior during purification of four affinity-tagged proteins—a MAP kinase, a transcription factor, intracellular binding protein, and a receptor tyrosine kinase—led the authors to devise alternate methods of obtaining their end-product. They found it necessary to either remove the affinity tag (by recloning or by cleavage of the tag) or omit the traditional immobilized metal ion ...

The human cell line, GCT, secretes hemopoietins into serum-free culture medium. The conditioned medium contains activities that stimulate neutrophil-monocyte, macrophage, eosinophil, and erythroid colony growth in human marrow cultures. We have used hydrophobic adsorption chromatography to separate a neutrophil-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (CSF) from the other colony-stimulating activitie...
