RATIONALE Cases of severe disopyramide poisoning are rare and few have been reported. We report a case in which activated-charcoal column hemoperfusion was dramatically effective for life-threatening disopyramide poisoning. PATIENT CONCERNS A teenage girl who had overdosed on disopyramide (total dose, 4950 mg) was brought to our hospital. She was resuscitated from short period cardiopulmonary...

BBP-II, the major biotin-binding protein from chicken oocytes, was purified 12,000-fold with a 22% yield. The purification procedure includes butan-1-ol extraction of yolk lipids, phosphocellulose chromatography of the water-soluble proteins, DEAE-cellulose chromatography at pH 7.4 and hydroxyapatite column chromatography. Final purification was obtained by using a second DEAE-cellulose column ...

The formation of stable protoplasts from os-1 (NM233t) (FGSC #4493 or 4494) mycelial cultures involves the germinaUse of partially purified Polyoxin B tion of macroconidia in Vogel's medium N containing 10% sorbose and 200-400 μg/ml purified Polyoxin B at 37° C (Selitrenfor forming protoplasts. nikoff et al., 1981 Exper. Mycol. 5: 155-161). Polyoxin B is purified from Polyoxin AL Wettable Powde...

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...

In the present study, the separation and purification characteristics of resveratrol from extract of peanut sprouts (PSE) on 11 macroporous adsorption resins were investigated. The results showed that ADS-5 offered better adsorption and desorption capacity for resveratrol than other tested resins. From the static experiments with ADS-5 resin, we found that the experimental data fitted best to t...

A convenient and rapid method for the purification of Streptococcus mutans dextransucrase is described. Affinity chromatography, on a column containing insoluble dextran purified from a culture of S. mutans 6715-49, gave an almost 300-fold purification, with 76% recovery of enzyme. Subsequent hydrophobic chromatography on butyl-agarose increased the overall enzyme purification to more than 1,00...

The binding protein for the K+-channel toxin dendrotoxin I was purified from a detergent extract of rat brain membranes. The purification procedure utilized chromatography on DEAE-Trisacryl, affinity chromatography on a dendrotoxin-I-Aca 22 column, and wheat germ agglutinin-Affigel 10 with a final 3800- to 4600-fold enrichment and a recovery of 8-16%. The high affinity (Kd, 40-100 pM) and speci...

Plasmid purification is a basic tool of molecular biologists. Although the development of plasmid isolation kits utilizing silica spin columns reduced the time and labor spent on plasmid purification, achieving large plasmid DNA yields still requires significant time and effort. Here we introduce the Miraprep, a rapid protocol that allows isolation of plasmid DNA using commercial Miniprep kits,...

The enzyme kynureninase converts kynurenine and hydroxykynurenine to alanine and anthranilic acid and to alanine and hydroxyanthranilic acid, respectively14>. Previously, Knox 51, Jakoby et al. 4>, a~d Wiss et al. 6> have described the purification and some properties of kynureninase. According to their reports, this enzyme obtained from bacteria was activated with magnesium ions, while it from...

A series of arylidine barbituric acid derivatives was synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid or thiobarbituric acid using dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid-surfactant catalyst in aqueous media. Regardless of the nature of the substitution (electron-donating and -withdrawing), all the reactions were completed within 15-65 min in w...
