Background: Erythropoietin, as a principal hormone promotes red blood cell production in bone marrow. Varieties of erythropoietin biosimilar are being produced by recombinant DNA technology in cell cultures. The detection or quantification of these molecules are being performed by diff erent methods which some of theme such as Western blot and enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) require sp...

Chondroitinase B from Pedobacter heparinus is the only known enzyme strictly specific for dermatan sulfate and is a widely used enzymatic tool for the structural characterization of glycosaminoglycans. This beta-helical polysaccharide lyase belongs to family PL-6 and cleaves the beta(1,4) linkage of dermatan sulfate in a random manner, yielding 4,5-unsaturated dermatan sulfate disaccharides as ...

lipases are diversified enzymes in their properties and substrate specificity, which make them attractive tools for various industrial applications. in this study, an alkaline thermostable lipase producing bacteria were isolated from soil of different regions of isfahan province (iran) and its lipase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. to select a the...

In the title compound, [Ni(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C4H10O2, the Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from an O,O'-bidentate sulfate anion, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral geometry for the metal ion. The dihedral angle between the two chelating N2C2 groups is 83.82 (12)°. The Ni(II) ion, the S atom and the mid-point of the cent...

Biosynthetic incorporation of labeled amino acids into the major gastrins in rat antrum, Component I, gastrin 34 ("big" gastrin), and gastrin 17-like peptides ("little" gastrin) was demonstrated after in vitro incubation of antral mucosal slices. The antral gastrin synthesis was stimulated by fundectomy, which ablates gastric acid secretion and thereby increases the gastrin concentration in pla...

The sulfo groups of glycosaminoglycans contribute to their high charge densities, and are critical for the role they play in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Unfortunately, the sulfo groups can be hydrolyzed to inorganic sulfate. Thus, it is important to monitor the presence of these sulfo groups. In addition, free anions, including chloride, sulfate and acetate, are ofte...
