A protein fraction isolated from green algae Halimeda macrobola taken from the sea of Selayar and Kapoposang Island in South Sulawesi was tested for antioxidant and anticancer properties. The protein was isolated using buffer Tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane. Initial purification of protein was conducted by using the fractionation method with ammonium sulphate, followed by dialysis process. P...

A heavy crude oil has been treated with deuterated alkylating reagents (CD₃I and C₂D₅I) and directly analyzed without any prior fractionation and chromatographic separation by high-field Orbitrap Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) and Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) using electrospray ionization (ESI). The reaction of a polycyclic aromatic sulfur ...

objective(s): echis carinatus is one of the venomous snakes in iran. the venom of iranian echis carinatus is a rich source of protein with various factors affecting the plasma protein and blood coagulation factor. some of these proteins exhibit types of enzymatic activities. however, other items are proteins with no enzymatic activity.   materials and methods: in order to study the mechanism an...

Abstract Crude oil is a complex mixture that includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as one of its major components. The toxicity some chemically substituted PAHs found in oil, such the methylated species, are relatively understudied. A combination chemical fractionation and analysis coupled with bioassay was used to identify subset activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Silica gel...

Crude preparations of PR8 influenza virus, obtained by high speed centrifugation of the chorioallantoic fluid of infected chick embryos, contain an impurity which is similar to substances elaborated normally by uninfected embryos. Electron microscope and ultracentrifuge measurements have shown that the impurity is smaller in size than the virus (l-7), while viscosity determinations revealed tha...

The aims of this study were to examine the bioactive component(s) responsible for the anticoagulant activity of M. malabathricum Linn. leaf hot water crude extract via bioassay-guided fractionation and to evaluate the effect of bioactive component(s) on the intrinsic blood coagulation pathway. The active anticoagulant fraction of F3 was subjected to a series of chromatographic separation and sp...

Various ammonium sulfate concentrations and reaction conditions were employed in the fractionation of sera from rabbits, sheep, horses, and goats. Precipitates and supernatant fluids were analyzed by electrophoresis to study the effects of the controlled variables. At room temperature, the third precipitate in 35% saturated (NH(4))(2)SO(4) was the best fraction from both rabbit and sheep sera; ...

An investigation on purification and characterization of amyloglucosidase enzyme from Endomycopsis fibuligera by fermentation of sago starch has been carried out. This enzyme is inductive and can be produced by fermenting sago starch in a medium containing E. fibuligera. Crude enzyme was obtained by centrifuging the medium cultures containing E. fibuligera at 6,000 rpm for 20 min and then addin...
