Isolation and Study of the Chemical Structure of Low Molecular Weight Glycopeptides from Micrococcus Zysodeikticus
نویسنده
چکیده
A preparative method for the isolation of oligosaccharide peptides from lysozyme digests of Micrococcus Zysodeiklicus cell walls is described. The method involves chromatography on Dowex 1, gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-4 columns, and chromatography on Dowex 50. Four glycopeptides designated as GP-1, GP-la, GP-2, and GP-4 were isolated and their structures investigated by chemical and enzymatic techniques. GP-2 which comprises about 2% of the weight of the wall, is a disaccharide pentapeptide of the following structure, where Mur stands for muramyl.

متن کاملIsolation and Study of the Chemical Structure of a Disaccharide from Micrococcus Zysodeikticus
A large scale isolation of a disaccharide from a dialyzable fraction cf Micrococcus Zysodeikticus cell wall is described. This fraction was obtained by degradation of isolated walls with egg white lysozyme. After purification by chromatography on charcoal-Celite 2nd Dowex 1, the compound was characterized by a crystalline heptaacetyl methyl ester. Comparison with synthetic 0-2-acetamido-2-deoxy...

Human erythrocyte transketolase (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate: D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, glycolaldehyde transferase, E.C. 2.2.1.1.) has been isolated from erythrocytes with a specific activity of 59.84 U/mg. SDS-PAGE and SE-HPLC were used both as a measure of purity and as a preparative mean to obtain a higher degree of purity. Four protein bands corresponding to molecular weights of 32,0...
متن کاملIsolation and molecular identification of carotenoid-producing bacteria
The production of pigments from bacteria is significant due to the low cost, high yield and ease of extract compared with other sources. Carotenoids are one of the most important pigments with antioxidant properties which are the precursor of vitamin A synthesis and have antibody overproduction ability, anti-tumor activity and inhibitory effect on the cardiovascular disease. The present study a...
