Abstract

An uncharged N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative of agarose, Affi-Gel 10, exhibited excellent capacity for immobilization, at pH 7.5, of proteins having isoelectric points of 6.5--11.0. Under identical conditions, acidic proteins with isoelectric points of 3.3--5.9 did not couple well to this activated gel. Immobilization of acidic proteins increased in the presence of 80 mM CaCl2, or at a pH equal to or less than the isoelectric point. Affi-Gel 15, a new N-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative of agarose containing a tertiary amine in the spacer arm, coupled acidic proteins efficiently at pH 7.5 but basic proteins coupled poorly. The immobilization of basic proteins to Affi-Gel 15 was increased to useful levels by increasing the ionic strength, or the pH, of the reaction medium. The lectin concanavalin A was efficiently immobilized using either activated gel, and the concanavalin A-agarose derivatives bound 3.9--4.1 mg ovalbumin/ml gel. These studies demonstrate that the charge of the protein relative to the charge of the gel is an important factor affecting the level of protein immobilization to active ester gels.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
