Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a purification contaminant associated with pediocin PA-1 that interferes with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy structural analysis. As revealed by circular dichroism, its presence affects the structural folding of pediocin. Consequently, we pr...

The purification procedure of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin has been improved. The cell sonic extract was precipitated twice with ammonium sulfate, first 40% saturated to concentrate the enterotoxin and then 15% saturated. The two precipitations were followed by gel ...

The small satellite bands of enterotoxin frequently seen in polyacrylamide gels following purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin were found to be due to endogenous protease activity and were not present if phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; 1 mM) and EDTA (10 mM) w...

Purification of O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS) from seedlings of two species of Phaseolus reveals the presence in both species of two forms of this enzyme. The isolation and purification procedure gives purification of 7- to 160-fold for individual isoenzymes with specific a...

ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the purification of inulinase by changing the ionic strength of the medium by addition of NaCl and CaCl2 followed by precipitation with n-propyl alcohol or iso-propyl alcohol. The effects of the concentration of alcohols and the rate of additi...

Alpha-galactosidase taken from a raw extract of Sesbania marginata legume seeds was purified by partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). Initially, galactomannan/dextran 2,000,000 systems were used for the purification, and the partition coefficients of alpha -galactosid...

Procedures for cholera enterotoxin purification previously developed in this labarotory were not applicable to large-scale purification, and these methods resulted in low yields of pure toxin. An efficient scheme has been developed whereby pure cholera enterotoxin can be obtained...

A novel single-step procedure for the purification of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), namely, dye ligand affinity chromatography with the triazine dye Red A, was developed. SEA purified by this method produced a single band when subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylam...

Proteomic approaches require simple and efficient protein purification methodologies that are amenable to high throughput. Biotinylation is an attractive approach for protein complex purification due to the very high affinity of avidin/streptavidin for biotinylated templates. ...

C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis was purified in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/potassium phosphate, varying the molar mass of the PEG. Results using a full factorial design showed that an increase in the concentration of salt and decrease in ...

Hepatitis B surface antigen was concentrated and purified from plasma by two simple steps of purification. In the first step the antigen was purified 24-fold by polyethylene glycol precipitation. An additional 10-fold purification was achieved by batchwise adsorption to hydroxyla...

The specific binding of P. aeruginosa exotoxin A to NAD was exploited for the rapid purification of the toxin. Affinity chromatography on a column of agarose-N6-(aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl-NAD resulted in an enzymatically, biologically, and immunologically active purified toxin p...

A three-step method was developed for the purification of mesentericin Y105 (60% yield) from the culture supernatant of Leuconostoc mesenteroides Y105. The same procedure was successfully applied to the purification of five other anti-Listeria bacteriocins identified by mass spec...

Flavonoids are metabolites occurring in all plant tissues and present different biological activities. They occur in a mixture of similar polarity with laborious separation and purification processes, usually furnishing low yields. Semi-preparative chromatographic methods are uni...

Conklin, David A. (Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, D. C.), Marion E. Webster, Patricia L. Altieri, Sanford Berman, Joseph P. Lowenthal, and Raymond B. Gochenour. Large scale purification of proteinases from Clostridium histolyticum filtrates. J. Bacteriol. 82:...

A novel multiple affinity purification (MAFT) or tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag has been constructed. It consists of the calmodulin binding peptide, six histidine residues, and three copies of the hemagglutinin epitope. This ‘CHH’ MAFT tag allows two or three consecut...

A chromatofocusing procedure for the purification of staphylococcal enterotoxin D was developed. The purification included the removal of the toxic protein from culture supernatant fluids of Staphylococcus aureus 1151m by batch adsorption with CG-50 resin, chromatofocusing on Pol...

A conventional affinity protein purification system often requires a separate protease to separate the target protein from the affinity tag. This paper describes a unique protein purification system in which the target protein is fused to the C-terminus of a modified protein spli...

An intein-mediated approach was developed for expression and affinity purification of a protein that is lethal to Escherichia coli. The protein, I-TevI, is an intron-encoded endonuclease. The approach involved the insertional inactivation of I-TevI with a controllable mini-intein...

The work done on the field of using trasgenic plants as bioreactors indicates the soybean, canola and corn as a plants of choice. Although the extraction and purification of soybean seed proteins is well studied and the plant is relatively easy to transform, there is practically ...

Abstract Palygorskite (Pal) is a natural clay mineral with fibrous morphology and high surface area. Depending on the geological origin, it presents impurities, such as quartz and carbonates, which can harm some of its properties. Therefore, this work seeks to define a viable met...
