The preparation of quantities of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase sufficient for detailed structural and enzymatic characterizations has been difficult due to the very low tissue content of the enzyme and its lability in late stages of purification. To date, the only purification of this enzyme to apparent homogeneity has involved a procedure requiring 6 column chromatographic steps. Described h...

Schmidt (1) was the first to extract an enzyme catalyzing the deamination of 5-adenylic acid. He demonstrated the presence of adenosine and adenylic acid deaminases in NaHC03 extracts of saline-washed minced rabbit muscle. Purification of the preparation by adsorption with alumina removed the adenosine deaminase, thus demonstrating that deamination of adenylic acid and adenosine is catalyzed by...

Catalase is a characteristic enzyme of peroxisomes, of which it is the most abundant protein. This enzyme serves as a typical example of a peroxisomal enzyme and is important in the teaching of biochemistry and molecular biology. Although there is substantial information regarding catalase purification, purifying catalase for the junior‑grade undergraduate experimental course face challenges in...

5-Aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) from spinach (Spinatia oleracea) was isolated by affinity purification on an immunoabsorbens with a yield of 70 to 80% of the activity in the crude enzyme preparation. The enzyme eluted from the immunoabsorbens was pure as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and is a hexamer with a subunit molecular weight of about 50 000. Enzyme bound to the immuno...

The purification of extracellular endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) from the filtrate of Aspergillus awamori L1 submerged culture was carried out using a two-step procedure: enzyme precipitation by organic solvents, polymers or salts; and gel filtration using Sephadex G-75 column. The results show that ammonium sulfate was the suitable precipitant in the two-step procedure for endo-PG purificatio...

Rat liver malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) was purified from livers of rats fasted and refed a high sucrose diet containing 1% desiccated thyroid powder. The purification was accomplished by a six-step procedure. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was increased 181-fold above that of the initial high speed supernatant of liver extracts. Slight additional purification of malic enzyme was ach...

The PGA enzyme belongs to the family of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases. The enzyme Penicillin G Acylase (PGA) mainly produced from Penicillium chrysogenum, E.coli. The synthesis of PGA enzyme is depends on the physico-chemical parameters like carbon source, pH, temperature and media were optimized for higher production of enzyme. There are different methods of purification of PGA enzym...

this research has focused on isolation and characterization of a strain of bacillus sp. from alkaline soil, which was able to produce extracellular alkaline protease at phs ranging from 8 to 11 and temperatures of 20 to 50ºc. also the impact of different carbon andnitrogen sources were investigated. the yield and fold of enzyme purification was 24% and 50 times, respectively. molecular weight o...
