Alpha-amylase E.C.3.2.1.1. (1,4 glucan, 4 glucanohydrolase) can be obtained from salivary glands, pancreas and microorganisms such as Pseudomonas and Asperigllus, as well as muscles and ovarian tubes.1.2 Alpha-amylase from Bacillus Subtilis #1024(A TCC 465)* was purified with a highest degree of purity in our laboratory (31.59 U/mg). The extracellular alpha-amylase was subjected to differe...

apComplex contains functions for estimating protein complex membership using data from affinity-purification/mass-spectrometry (AP-MS) experiments. Users must specify the believed sensitivity and specificity of the AP-MS technology and may incorporate external similarity data for the proteins under investigation. The statistical details of the algorithm are reported in Scholtens and Gentleman (...

the isolation of the target protein from inclusion bodies (ibs) is a preliminary step to increase protein titer and to maintain its biological activity. in the present study, the effects of various cell lysis methods and the expression temperature was investigated on the improvement of the subsequent purification steps of mecasermin produced in ib. we also investigated the solubilization profil...

In this study Escherichia coli DE3 containing expression vector (pET21a) with cloned Persian sturgeon growth hormone (psGH) gene was grown in 10 mL LB broth on a 150 rpm shaker, at the temperature of 37 °C. At the late log phase (determined by OD standard curve) 100 &muL isopropyl &beta-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) was added for induction of GH synthesis. Samples were taken every 2 hours an...

The enzyme pgalactosidase from a mutant strain of A. niger UV-5 was partially purified using ammonium sulfate and acetone. The saturation range of 60-80% ammonium sulfate was found to yield 60.5% enzyme recovery with 2.4 fold purification. Acetone precipitation at enzyme: acetone ratio of 1 : 1.5 brought about a higher yield i.e. 68% and three-fold purification. The combined procedures of ...

lipoxygenase(lox) catalyzes irreversible transfer of oxygen molecule to arachidonic and linoleic acid to produce 13 hydroproxy octadecadienoic acid. recent studies showed the involvement of lipoxygenase products, leukotrienes, in inflammations and lipoxygenase pathways acts as mediators of early inflammatory events in atherosclerosis. the aim of the present study was purification and characteri...

diphtheria is a fatal disease caused by exotoxin of corynebacterium     diphtheria .  this toxin consists of   two chains, catalytic chain (a) and binding (b) chain. by binding chain (b),   the toxin binds to its receptor on numerous body cells such as myocardial,   kidney and peripheral nerve cells. after entering, catalytic chain (a)   inhibits protein synthesis and finally can cause cell dea...

phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh; ec 1.4.1.20) is an important enzyme of amino acid dehydrogenases family that increasingly used as a valuable biocatalyst in neonatal screening kits and synthesis of l-phenylalanine. the goal of this literature was to find a suitable purification method for recombinant bacillus badius phedh by practical comparison between chromatographic and polyvinyl pyrrolid...

background: taq dna polymerase is a very important enzyme for molecular biological studies such as dna amplification and dna sequencing by the pcr. it is a standard enzyme that is used in 90% of molecular biology labs today. the aim of this study was to produce taq dna polymerase enzyme in e. coli by a reliable, practical, simple and low cost method.materials and methods: in this study, the taq...
