Xyloglucan (XG) is the predominant hemicellulose in primary cell wall of superior plants. It has a fundamental role controlling stretching and expansion plant wall. There are five types enzymes known to cleave linear chain xyloglucan, most well-known xyloglucanase (XEG). The immobilization process can be used solve problems related stability, besides economic benefits brought by possibility its...

In order to obtain a more stable and reusable immobilized spore laccase for dye decolorization, the spores from Bacillus pumilus W3 were immobilized on diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE-cellulose). Free and immobilized spore laccase retained 34.38% and 46.11% of their initial activity, respectively, after 10 days incubation at pH 9.0. Their residual activity remained at 27.36% and 31.84% after ...

The lysis time of euglobulin clots made with whole blood (plasma and red cells) was very much shorter than that of clots made with plasma alone, indicating a fibrinolytic component in red cells. A plasminogen activator was found in the stroma-free hemolysate, and proteolytic activity was found in the stromal fraction. The plasminogen activator, purified by using diethylaminoethyl-cellulose (DEA...

An extract of ovine and bovine pineal glands (labeled Precipitate II) has previously been shown to possess lipolytic activity on rabbit adipose tissue. This extract also causes darkening of the frog’s skin in vivo and in vitro. Both lipolytic and melanotropic activities are abolished by trypsin and chymotrypsin. Fractionation of ovine pineal Precipitate II by the sequence, chromatography on die...

A 17.5-kDa trypsin inhibitor was purified from Phaseolus vulgaris cv. "gold bean" with an isolation protocol including ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose (Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose), affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, ion exchange chromatography on SP-sepharose (Sulfopropyl-sepharose), and gel filtration by FPLC (Fast protein liquid chromatography) on Superdex 75. It dos...

Partially purified glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori NRRL 3112 was immobilized on diethylaminoethyl cellulose in the presence of low ionic-strength acetate buffers at pH 4.2. The active enzyme-cellulose complex was used to convert starch substrates continuously to glucose in stirred reactors. Substrate concentrations as high as 30% could be quantitatively converted to glucose at a rate of m...

A soluble pyridine nucleotidase was first described in bull semen by Leone and Bonaduce (1). During studies on the specificity of this enzyme, we observed that passage of dilute semen through a column composed of calcium phosphate gel and diethylaminoethyl cellulose anion exchanger (Whatman)] resulted in a preparation of high specific activity. In this single purification step the specific acti...
