Permanent protein-protein interactions are commonly identified by co-purification of two or more protein components using techniques like co-immunoprecipitation, tandem affinity purification and native electrophoresis. Here we focus on blue-native electrophoresis, clear-native electrophoresis, high-resolution clear-native electrophoresis and associated techniques to identify stable membrane pro...

Extracts from preparations of partially purified Anaplasma marginale revealed low levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Enzyme inhibition by immune sera further indicated that A. marginale possesses a protein moiety the same as that of the normal red blood cell (RBC), although data suggested an alteration of LDH(1) from that observed in normal RBC. Bimodal isozyme distribution was detected aft...

Whey protein (WP) has nutritional value, but the presence of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and α-lactalbumin (α-LA) cause allergic reactions. In this study, hypoallergenic whey hydrolyate (HWPH) was prepared by decomposing β-LG α-LA WP using exo- endo-type proteases. The enzyme mixing ratio reaction conditions were optimized response surface methodology (RSM). Degradation confirmed through gel electro...

The quantitative analysis of metallochaperone proteins in biofluids (e.g. blood, liquor) may be a major prerequisite for clinical investigations concerning the structure-function relationships of biologically-active metal cofactor-containing chaperones in protein-misfolding diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's or related diseases). For these purposes, a new state-of-the-art gel electrophoresis [quantitat...

A rapid system for the quantitative fractionation of serum proteins by electrophoresis on cellulose-acetate membranes was evaluated and found to be quite precise. The reproducibility (coefficient of variation) of the routine fractionation of a control serum carried out 40 times during a 15-week period was 2.4% for albumin and 14.2, 6.0, 6.1, and 5.2%, respectively, for the ar-, a2-, /3-, and -y...

DOI: 10.1002/elps.202200230 The back cover picture shows a free-flow electrophoresis device separating and collecting different proteins. A novel velocity gradient is introduced across the chamber to counteract electrophoretic migration focus proteins at unique positions. There are several components overall profile that influence width of each protein stream, they deserve further investigation.

In 33 methyl bromide users, slight electroencephalographic changes (in 10 subjects) and a small increase in serum transaminases were found which could be related to bromine concentration in blood. No relationship was found with subjective symptoms, general neurological examination or the results of serum protein electrophoresis.
