Solubilisation of beta-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis in Aerosol-OT water-in-isooctane microemulsions was measured as a function of buffer type and concentration, pH, and protein concentration. For buffer concentrations above similar to 40 mM, the enzyme was largely excluded from the droplets. Based on these results, a one-step separation was developed. A protein-containing aqueous feed was injected into an AOT/isooctane solution, with the feed volume slightly in excess of the predicted water solubility. Impurity proteins were entrapped inside the microemulsion droplets that then formed in the organic phase, while the high MW target protein was excluded and entered a newly formed, excess aqueous phase. The separation of beta-galactosidase from the test protein beta-lactoglobulin was most complete at 100 mM KCl salt concentration, where the droplets were large enough to carry beta-lactoglobulin but too small for beta-galactosidase. At 100 mM [KCI], 92% of the total enzyme activity was recovered in a concentrated and virtually pure form.

Enhanced recombinant human erythropoietin production by Pichia pastoris in methanol fed-batch/sorbitol batch fermentation through pH optimization Soyaslan, Elif Sukran; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15) The effects of pH on recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris was investigated at pH = 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, where sorbitol and methanol were supplied to the bioreactor in batch and fed-batch mode, respectively, in the recombinant protein production phase (PP). For the first three phases, glycerol batch (GB), glycerol fed-batch (GFB) and methanol transition (MT), the growth profiles were almost the same for pH >= 5.0; however, at pH < 5.0 the growth rate was lower. The h...
Identification and characterization of hydrolytic enzymes of sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps) and cotton bollworm (helicoverpa armigera) Özgür, Ebru; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biochemistry (2006) In this study, hydrolytic enzymes from sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) and cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) midguts were identified and characterized in terms of their optimum pH, Km and Vmax values. Hydrolytic activities were also tested for inhibition by several protease and alpha-amylase inhibitors which can be used for the development of insect resistant plants through transgenic technologies. For sunn pest midgut, a low proteolytic activity, belonging mostly to trypsin-like and leucine aminope...
The first enzymatic resolution of quaternary alpha-acetoxy alpha-substituted cyclic ketones Tanyeli, Cihangir; İYİGÜN, Cigdem (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-03) The enantioselective resolution of quaternary alpha-acetoxy alpha-substituted indanone and 1-tetralone derivatives was performed with commercially available enzyme CRL in pH = 8.0 phosphate buffer. Various parameters that would affect the enantoselectivities were tested, and the optimal enzymatic resolution condition was found to afford the enantiomerically enriched quaternary acetoxylated substrates with high ees (varied between 81% and 85%).
One-pot synthesis of 2-ferrocenyl-substituted pyridines KARADENİZ, EDA; Zora, Metin (2016-11-02) A facile, one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-ferrocenylpyridines is described. When reacted with propargylamine, alpha,beta-alkynic ketones produced N-propargylic beta-enaminones in situ, which, in the presence of copper(I) chloride, underwent electrophilic cyclization to afford 2-ferrocenylpyridine derivatives in good to high yields. This cyclization was found to be general for a variety of alpha,beta-alkynic ketones and tolerated the presence of aryl groups with electron-withdrawing and electron-donati...
Production and biochemical characterization of polyphenol oxidase from thermomyces lanuginosus Astarcı, Erhan; Bakır, Ufuk; Ögel, Zümrüt B.; Department of Biotechnology (2003) Polyphenol oxidases are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of certain phenolic substrates to quinones in the presence of molecular oxygen. Polyphenol oxidases are widely used in several applications. In food industry, they are used for enhancement of flavor in coffee, tea and cocoa production, and determination of food quality. In medicine, they have several uses in treatments of Parkinson̕s disease, phenlyketonurea and leukemia. In wastewater treatment, they are used for the removal of phenolic pollutants...
