Streptococcal M Protein Extracted by Nonionic Detergent

Streptococcal M proteins are antiphagocytic molecules varying immunologically from type to type while maintaining an identical biological effect. The virulence of the group A streptococcus is directly related to the presence of the M antigens on the cell surface and resistance to infection by these organisms is dependent on the presence of opsonic antibodies directed towards the M molecules.

Alkaline phytase activity in nonionic detergent extracts of legume seeds.

Alkaline phytase activity, with a pH optimum of 8, was recovered from detergent extracts of dormant seeds of nine varieties of Phaseolus vulgaris L., Pisum sativum L. var. Early Alaska, and Medicago sativa L. This alkaline phytase of legume seeds was activated by calcium and differed from most seed phytases in its relative insensitivity to inhibition by fluoride.

Preparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography

Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...

functional resemblance of column groups to carbamoyl phosphate. The enzyme binds its two substrates, carbamoyl phosphate and L-aspartate, in an obligatory order, with carbamoyl phosphate leading (Grayson et al., 1979). If column groups are sufficiently similar to carbamoyl phosphate, the enzyme should be adsorbed more tightly in the presence of L-aspartate, owing to the ‘locking-on’ effect (O’C...
