the aim of this study was production and partial purification of α-amylase enzyme by bacillus licheniformis. b. licheniformis was allowed to grow in broth culture for purpose of inducing α-amylase enzyme. optimal conditions for amylase production by b. licheniformis are incubation period of 120 h, temperature of 37 °c and ph 7.0. the α-amylase enzyme was purified by ion exchange chromatography ...

The present study was designed to achieve the production and characterization of polyclonal antibody of luteinizing hormone (AntiLH) as a basic component of LH radioimmunoassay (RIA). The main objective was to improve the immunogenicity of LH by conjugation of LH with bovine serum albumin (LH: BSA) as a protein carrier using Ethyl dimethylaminopropyl Carbodiimide (ECDI). Production of Anti-LH w...

A kainic acid receptor was purified from Triton X-100/digitonin-solubilized frog brain membranes. The purification was carried out in two steps: ion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and affinity chromatography with domoic acid immobilized on Sepharose 4B. The specific binding activity of the affinity-purified receptor is 481-fold higher than that of the crude solubilized prepa...

A novel protein which represents the most abundant calmodulin-binding protein in bovine heart cytosolic fraction was purified to apparent homogeneity. The purification procedure involved DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B (to remove calmodulin), calmodulin-Sepharose 4B affinity, and Sepharose 6B column chromatographies. This purified calmodulin-binding protein is a highly asymmetric protein with a sedimentat...

A novel alkaline bound invertase (ITab) was purified 116 fold from crude extract of rice suspension cells (Oryza sativa L. cv. Tainong 67). The enzyme can be released by treating the cell wall and membrane fragments with 1.0 M NaCl and purified to homogeneity through the steps of ammonium sulfate precipitation, Con A-Sepharose affinity (non-retained), Sepharose CL-6B, and DEAE-Sepharose chromat...

The molybdate-stabilized calf uterine estradiol receptor has been purified to near-homogeneity by a three-step procedure. Initial purification by heparin-Sepharose chromatography provides a concentrated receptor extract in 40% yield with a 5-10-fold increase in purity. The inclusion of molybdate in phosphate-buffered cytosol enhances 9-10 S receptor stability in high salt and allows elution of ...

The interaction between proteoglycan and link protein extracted from bovine articular cartilage (15-18-month-old animals) was investigated in 0.5 M-guanidinium chloride. The proteoglycans, radiolabelled as the aggregate (A1 fraction), were fractionated by two 'dissociative' density-gradient centrifugations (A1D1D1) followed by a rate-zonal centrifugation (S1) to yield an A1D1D1S1 preparation. A...

The enzyme levanase encoded by the sacC gene from Bacillus subtilis was overexpressed in Escherichia coli with the strong, inducible tac promoter. The enzyme was purified from crude E. coli cell lysates by salting out with ammonium sulfate and chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, S-Sepharose, and MonoQ-Sepharose. The purified protein had an apparent molecular mass of 75,000 Da in sodium dode...
