background: the purpose of this study was to clone, express, and purify a novel multidomain fusion protein of micobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) in a prokaryotic system. methods: an hspx/esxs gene construct was synthesized and ligated into a pgh plasmid, e. coli top10 cells were transformed, and the vector was purified. the vector containing the construct and pet-21b (+) plasmid were digested wit...

Low-cost protein purification methods are in high demand for mass production of low-selling price enzymes that play an important role in the upcoming bioeconomy. A simple protein purification method was developed based on affinity adsorption of a cellulose-binding module-tagged protein on regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC) followed by modest desorption. The biodegradable cellulosic adsorbent...

Objective: Liver is an important organ that is exposed to many oxidant and carcinogenic agents, thus antioxidant compounds are beneficial for liver health. Artemisia contains flavonoid compounds and anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to possessing terpene and sesquiterpene compounds, this plant has antioxidant properties. This study was done to investigate the eff...

background and objectives: brucella melitensis infection is still a major health problem for human and cattle in developing countries and the middle east. materials and methods: in this study, in order to screen immunogenic candidate antigens for the development of a brucella subunit vaccine, a cytoplasmic protein (dnak) and an outer membrane protein (omp31) of b. melitensis were cloned, expres...

Relative levels of ribosomal proteins were quantified in crude cell lysates using mass spectrometry. A method for quantifying cellular protein levels using macromolecular standards is presented that does not require complex sample separation, identification of high-responding peptides, affinity purification, or postgrowth modifications. Perturbations in ribosomal protein levels by overexpressio...

A rapid process for purification of an extracellular beta-xylosidase with high purity was developed. The manipulation involved the precipitation of protein from culture medium and the extraction of enzyme from the resuspended crude protein solution by an aqueous-two phase separation. A linear random copolymer, PE62, with 20% ethylene oxide and 80% propylene oxide was employed in both stages of ...

Tandem affinity strategies reach exceptional protein purification grades and have considerably improved the outcome of mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiments. However, current tandem affinity tags are incompatible with two-step purification under fully denaturing conditions. Such stringent purification conditions are desirable for mass spectrometric analyses of protein modifications as t...
