The effect of crosslinking on thermal inactivation of cellulases

Cellulase complex was crosslinked by using three different crosslinkers, dimethyl suberimidate (DMS), dimethyl adipimidate (DMA) and dimethyl-3-3'-dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP) and their effects on thermal inactivation were investigated. These reagents are all homobifunctional bisimidoesters having different crosslinking distances and crosslink only amino groups to each other. No significant activity loss was observed due to crosslinking with none of the crosslinkers used. In general, DMA and DTBP crosslinking decreased the thermal stability slightly, however with DMS crosslinking, slight increases in thermal stabilities were observed.

Partial purification and characterization of neutral trehalase from commercial baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yarar, S; Hamamcı, Haluk; Bakir, U (2000-12-01)
The neutral trehalase of a commercial baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) strain has been partially purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography techniques. Trehalase was precipitated between 35-50% ammonium sulfate saturation and approximately 5-8 fold purification was achieved. The yeast cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also precipitated in the same fraction and these two proteins were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Trehalase became totally inactive...

The concurrent employment of alpha-amino acid-derived chiral components such as aldehydes and alpha-iso-cyanoacetates, in a sequential Ugi reaction/cyclization two-step strategy, opens the door to the synthesis of three structurally distinct piperazine-based scaffolds, characterized by the presence of L-Ala and/or L-Phe-derived side chains and bearing appropriate functionalities to be easily applied in peptide chemistry. By means of computational studies, these scaffolds have been demonstrated to act as min...
Evaluating microemulsions for purification of beta-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis
Mazı, Bekir Gökçen; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2010)
In this study, we evaluated the potential of water-in-oil microemulsions for the separation of beta-galactosidase (lactase) from other proteins. The ability of beta-galactosidase to break down the milk carbohydrate lactose gives the enzyme considerable commercial importance. The extent of solubilization of a commercial Kluyveromyces lactis preparation of beta-galactosidase into microemulsion droplets formed from 200 mM bis (2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane was measured as a function of...
The effect of lime addition on the combustion properties and sulfur contents of three different coals
Ozbas, Kazim Esber; Hiçyilmaz, Cahit; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2002-01-01)
In this research, combustion characterization of 3 different coals of Turkey, from the Soma, Tuncbilek, and Afsin Elbistan regions, were investigated with thermal analysis techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Lime was added to these coals in concentrations of 3, 7, and 10% by weight to investigate the change in combustible sulfur content and sulfur in ash. It was observed that lime has a positive effect on sulfur emission. Kinetic analysis was also perfor...
The role of alkali-metal promotion on CO oxidation over PdO/SnO2 catalysts
MİRKELAMOĞLU, BURCU; Karakaş, Gürkan (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-17)
Sol-gel prepared PdO/SnO2 and Na-PdO/SnO2 catalysts were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance IR (DRIFTS), temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and impulse techniques. Alkali-metal promotion was observed to enhance CO oxidation rate and decreases light-off temperatures of PdO/SnO, XPS analysis revealed that alkali-metal promotion resulted in the segregation of Pd atoms and promoted the oxygen storage capacity of the catalysts. The presence of super-oxide...
