In this work, we intend to check the effect of the immobilization protocol on the performance of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CalB) in organic medium. To this purpose, CalB has been immobilized on Eupergit C (EC) under different conditions and on EC partially modified with ethylenediamine (EDA), iminodiacetic acid (IDA) or metal chelate (IDA-Cu2+) and used for kinetic resolution of (R/S) 4-[2-hydroxy-3-[(1-methylethyl)amino]propoxy]benzeneacetamide (rac-atenolol). Enantiomeric resolution of atenolol was carried out by a transesterification reaction using vinyl acetate as acylant agent and an organic solvent as reaction medium. After a preliminary optimization of the reaction to obtain satisfactory yields, toluene was selected as the optimal solvent and the performances of the different CalB biocatalysts were compared. The R enantiomer was preferred in all cases but their performances were substantially different, with high differences in reaction rates, reaction yields in this kinetically controlled synthesis (EC-CalB gave a conversion of 76% while EC-IDA-Cu2+-CalB gave just a 27%), and enantiospecificities (EC-CalB gave an E value of 65 while EC-IDA-Cu2+-CalB gave a value of 13). Replacing toluene with hexane caused a decrease in enzyme activity, reaction yields and enantiospecificity of the reaction. It was remarkable that some preparations were much more sensitive to this solvent change than others. Considering that the activity decreased by less than 10% per reaction cycle, these differences are likely associated with the differences in the enzyme catalytic properties caused by the different immobilization protocols and not by inactivation of immobilized enzyme preparations during the reaction. These results confirmed that use of different immobilization protocols may be a powerful tool for altering enzyme properties when used in organic media. 相似文献

A strain of Citrobacter freundii isolated from the feces of a patient with diarrhoea was examined for growth kinetics and toxic exoproduct formation using the complete (BHI) and synthetic culture media. It was found that the test organism in synthetic medium grew distinctly slower than in BHI. Fractionations on Sephadex G-100 column yielded 3 fractions from the complete medium culture filtrate and 2 fractions from the culture filtrate obtained from synthetic medium. The first culture filtrate fractions (F1) were represented by components of the molecular weight over 100,000, the respective second fractions (F2) from complete and synthetic medium were of the molecular weights of about 40,000 and 10,000. In the early skin test on rabbits the toxicity of culture filtrates and their fractions manifested itself by an increased permeability of blood vessels, in the late skin test by a hemorrhagic reaction associated with dilatation of blood vessels and induration of the skin tissue. In a test on mouse foot pad all separated filtrate fractions gave a positive edematous reaction. In cultured Vero cells samples of synthetic medium fractions gave a distinct cytotoxic reaction. Immunochemically, the presence of LPS in culture filtrates as well as some variations in the antigenicity of components from the complete and synthetic medium fractions were found. Apart from LPS some additional high-molecular-weight components were also present in the toxic complex of both first filtrate fractions (F1). Much more attention should be given to analysis of these first fraction complexes as well as to toxinogenicity of second fractions (F2) using some additional tests. 相似文献

A new sensitive medium was developed to screen and isolate mutagenic Leuconostoc oenos strains defective in malolactic fermentation. The essential components of the medium included fructose (22 mM), l-malic acid (74.6 mM), bromocresol green (as pH indicator), and cellulose powder. The wild-type colonies turned blue, but defective malolactic colonies gave an acid reaction and remained yellow-green. 相似文献

Human fetal lever explants were found to secrete protein HC into the medium in molar amounts comparable to those of albumin, α1-antitrypsin and orosomucoid. Incorporation of a radioactive amino acid from the medium into the secreted protein HC demonstrated de novo synthesis. The secreted protein HC had the same size and electrophoretic mobility as protein HC of plasma and urine and gave a reaction of immunochemical identity with the protein in these biological fluids. 相似文献

A new cerium-based method for cytochemical localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase in the Golgi complex of rat hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary The use of cerium chloride for the localization of thiamine-pyrophosphatase (TPPase) in rat liver parenchymal cells has been investigated and the results are compared with the classical lead capture method. A medium containing 3 mM cerium chloride gave the most uniform and consistent results with a homogenous electron dense reaction product in the first trans lamella of the Golgi complex and a weak staining of endoplasmic reticulum. The fine deposits of cerium phosphate filled completely the first trans Golgi cisterna. In contrast the reaction product of the lead-based method appeared clumpy and aggregated with an irregular distribution over both Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum. Higher and lower concentrations of cerium chloride than 3 mM gave inconsistent results. The present study demonstrates that the cerium-based method is superior to the classical lead-technique for the localization of TPPase. 相似文献

The coupled spectrophotometric assay for RuBP carboxylase was compared with the conventional radiometric assay to assess the validity of its use in the measurement of initial and total activities in crude leaf extracts. At high magnesium concentrations both assays gave the same absolute values of initial and total activities, and resolved similarly the changes of total activity and activation state (ratio of initial to total activity) which occurred when the water status and light environment of leaves was altered prior to sampling. Although the magnesium concentration supporting the maximum rate of initial activity in soybean extracts was similar in the two assays, substantial differences of initial activity were observed at sub-optimal concentrations of magnesium. At low magnesium concentrations reaction rates in the spectrophotometric assay exhibited an initial phase of non-linearity which subsequently gave way to a linear rate. In contrast, reaction rates at low magnesium were linear from the time of initiation in the radiometric assay. Inclusion of EDTA in the reaction medium did, however, induce non-linear rates in the radiometric assay. The pre-addition of RUBP to extract immediately prior to dilution into the reaction medium did not eliminate the non-linearity in either assay system. The significance of these observations is discussed briefly in relation to the use of the spectrophotometric assay. 相似文献

To obtain manno-oligosaccharides containing beta-1,2-linked nonreducing terminal groups from the mannan of Pichia pastoris IFO 0948 strain by acetolysis, an attempt was made to establish the reaction conditions under which cleavage of the alpha-1,6 linkage took place preferentially leaving manno-oligosaccharides composed largely of beta-1,2 linkages. By the action of an ordinary acetolysis medium, a 10/10/1 (v/v) mixture of acetic anhydride, acetic acid, and sulfuric acid at 40 degrees C for 13 h or at 25 degrees C for 120 h, the O-acetyl derivative of this mannan gave mannose, mannobiose, mannotriose, and mannopentaose. However, treatment of the same O-acetyl mannan with a 50/50/1 (v/v) acetolysis medium at 40 degrees C for 15 h gave a mannotetraose in addition to mannose, mannobiose, mannotriose, and mannopentaose. Use of a 100/100/1 (v/v) acetolysis medium at 40 degrees C for 36 h gave a more satisfactory result, a mixture of oligosaccharides, from mannose to mannopentaose, which contained more mannotetraose than mannopentaose. Because both mannotetraose and mannopentaose contained alpha-1,2 and beta-1,2 linkages, it was concluded that an acetolysis medium containing a low concentration of sulfuric acid, up to 0.5% (v/v), facilitates the preferential cleavage of the alpha-1,6 linkage, leaving manno-oligosaccharides containing the beta-1,2 linkage which was found to be labile to the action of the 10/10/1 (v/v) acetolysis medium. 相似文献

The kinetically controlled condensation reaction of Z-Gly-Trp-Met-OR(1) (R(1): Et, Al, Cam) and H-Asp-(OR(2))-Phe-NH(2) (R(2): H, Bu(t)) catalyzed by alpha-chymotrypsin deposited onto polyamide in organic media was studied. The effect of the drying process of the enzyme-support preparation, substrate concentrations, reaction medium, acyl donor, and nucleophile structure on both enzymatic activity and pentapeptide yield was investigated. The immobilized preparation directly equilibrated at a(w) = 0.113, gave higher enzymatic activities than dried with vacuum first, and then equilibrated at a(w) = 0.113. The addition of triethylamine to the reaction medium increased dramatically the enzymatic activity. However, the pentapeptide yield was affected neither by the drying procedure nor by the addition of triethylamine. The donor ester Z-Gly-Trp-Met-OAl gave initial reaction rates 2.6 times higher than the conventional ethyl ester derivative but rendered similar yields. The best results were obtained using Z-Gly-Trp-Met-OCam as acyl-donor ester; 80% yield and initial reaction rates 4 times higher than the ethyl ester derivative. In all cases, acetonitrile containing Tris-HCl 50 mM pH 9 buffer (0.5% v/v) and triethylamine (0.5% v/v) was found to be the best reaction system. Under these conditions, it was possible to use the nucleophile H-Asp-Phe-NH(2) with beta-unprotected aspartic acid residue. In this case, 50% yield was obtained, but economic considerations could lead to select it as nucleophile. Finally, the fragment condensation reaction was carried out at gram scale, obtaining a 39% yield which included the reaction, removal of protecting groups and purification steps.

Comparison of methods for thermolysin-catalyzed peptide synthesis including a novel more active catalyst 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This is a comparative study of the performance of thermolysin for enzymatic peptide synthesis by reversed hydrolysis in several different reaction systems. Z-Gln-Leu-NH(2) was synthesized in acetonitrile containing 5% water (with various catalyst preparation methods) as well as by the "solid-to-solid" and frozen aqueous methods. Reaction rates (values in nanomoles per minute per milligram) in acetonitrile depended significantly on the method of addition of enzyme: (a) direct suspension in the reaction mixture as freeze-dried powders gave 60 to 95; (b) addition as an aqueous solution, so that enzyme precipitates on mixing with acetonitrile, gave 230; (c) addition as an aqueous suspension gave a remarkable increase in reaction rates (up to 780); (d) immobilized enzymes (adsorbed at saturating loading on celite, silica, Amberlite XAD-7, or polypropylene, then dried by propanol rinsing) all gave <230. It is postulated that, starting with the enzyme already in the form of solid particles in aqueous buffer, there is a minimum chance of alteration of its optimal conformation during transfer to the organic medium. For solid-to-solid synthesis with 10% water content we found initial rates of 670 under optimized conditions. In frozen aqueous synthesis, rates were <10. Equilibrium yields were always around 60% in low water organic solvent, whereas they were found to >80% in the aqueous systems studied. 相似文献

Covalent immobilization of lipase in organic solvents 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lipase from Rhizopus sp. has been immobilized covalently on tresyl activated silica. Three different coupling media were evaluated: aqueous buffer, n-hexane, and a microemulsion based on n-hexane, aqueous buffer, and the nonionic surfactant triethylene glycol monododecyl ether. In addition, coupling via a very long, hydrophilic spacer arm, polyethylene glycol 1500 (PEG 1500), was compared with attachment to the silica via a short silane bridge only. The enzyme preparations were tested in hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. In the hydrolysis no marked differences in activity were found between the coupling media used. In the transesterification, on the other hand, the choice of immobilization medium had a very large effect on lipase activity, the preparation from microemulsion being the most active one. The use of the hydrophilic spacer had a large effect on activity in the hydrolysis reaction. Whereas direct coupling gave an activity of immobilized lipase of 26-34% of that of free enzyme, depending on the reaction medium, lipase bound via the spacer exhibited 56-67% activity. The latter values are considerably higher than previously reported in the literature for covalently immobilized lipase. The hydrophilic spacer had no effect on enzyme activity in the transesterification, however, a fact which is attributed to the hydrophobic medium of this reaction. The spacer is incompatible with the reaction medium and will, therefore, adsorb on the particles rather than stretch out into the bulk phase. The stability of the bound lipase was extremely good, no loss in activity being observed after a period of three weeks in aqueous solution of 37 degrees C. 相似文献

A simple, sensitive HPLC method using fluorescence detection was developed for determination of adenosine in fetal venous perfusates of dual-perfused cotyledons from human term placentas. Maternal and fetal circuits of in vitro placental cotyledons were perfused with physiological salt solution containing dextrose and dextran (Earle's medium). Conditions were established for optimal formation of fluorescent 1,N6-ethenoadenosine from adenosine and chloroacetaldehyde in Earle's medium and for optimal resolution of 1,N6-ethenoadenosine by reversed-phase HPLC of the reaction mixture. The yield of 1,N6-ethenoadenosine was enhanced by dilution and acidification of the sample matrix. Perfusate samples in autosampler vials were diluted 40% with water and reacted with chloroacetaldehyde for 40 min at 100 degrees C; replicate 100-microliters injections were made automatically from each reaction mixture for HPLC analysis with fluorescence detection on a column packed with 3 microns octadecylsilica (Hypersil). Calibration curves were prepared similarly from 4-100 nM adenosine in Earle's medium. Alternatively, perfusate samples were diluted twofold with dilute phosphoric acid to give a final pH of 5.4 before reaction with chloroacetaldehyde, and replicate 50-microliters injections were made automatically for HPLC; calibration curves were prepared from 2-400 nM adenosine in Earle's medium. 1,N6-Ethenoadenosine was well resolved from Earle's-derived artifactual peaks on chromatography with either a linear or a concave gradient of methanol in ammonium phosphate buffer. Total run times were 15 and 19 min, respectively. Sensitivity of measurement of adenosine was 2-4 nM. Derivatization of adenosine using the acidified reaction mixture gave a limit of detection of 100 fmol of adenosine per injection. Application of the method to analysis of adenosine in fetal venous perfusates of eight dual-perfused cotyledons, each from a different placenta, gave a range of 3.5-52 nM adenosine. Ischemia, imposed by cessation of maternal perfusion, caused a two- to sixfold increase in fetal venous perfusate adenosine concomitant with an increase in fetoplacental perfusion pressure; perfusion pressure and perfusate adenosine returned to baseline levels on reperfusion of the maternal circuit. This facile method of determination of perfusate adenosine should allow investigation of the role of placental adenosine release in regulation of fetoplacental vascular resistance and should be applicable to study of adenosine released by other isolated perfused organs. 相似文献

Capsaicin analogues having different acyl moiety were synthesized by lipase-catalyzed transacylation of capsaicin with a corresponding acyl donor in supercritical CO2 as a reaction medium. Transacylation with methyl tetradecanoate using Novozym 435 as a catalyst gave vanillyl tetradecanamide in a 54% yield at 80 °C and 19 MPa over 72 h. Vanillyl (Z)-9-octadecenamide, olvanil, was synthesized from triolein in a 21% yield over 7 d. 相似文献

Membrane filters (Millipore Corp.; pore sizes 1.2 to 0.22 mum) were placed on the surface of L-phase growth medium solidified with agar. The filter and the surrounding medium were inoculated with either protoplasts or stable broth-grown L-phase variants obtained from Streptococcus faecium strain F24. The L-phase inoculum gave rise to viable L-colonies on the filters and on the medium, whereas protoplasts gave colony formation only on the medium. However, when the Millipore filters were covered by a layer of solid L-phase medium, 75 mum or greater in depth, before inoculation with protoplasts, colony formation resulted but with atypical morphology. In contrast, inoculation of protoplasts on Nuclepore and Sartorius membrane filters did give rise to L-colonies on the surface and underneath the filters after 2 days of incubation at 37 C. Submicroscopic, viable L-phase elements produced during colony formation were capable of passing through membrane filters with pore channels as small as 0.22 mum; these elements required transfer from underneath the filters to fresh agar medium in order to develop into L-phase colonies. Membrane filters were also placed on the surface of L-phase growth medium solidified with gelatin. Inoculation of the filters and surrounding medium with a lysozyme-prepared protoplast suspension gave rise to streptococci on the surface of the filters and on the medium. However, inoculation with the stable broth-grown L-phase variants gave rise to atypical colonies on the medium and only small patches of abortive growth on the filters. 相似文献

A total of 245 isolates of Escherichia coli (paracolons) were employed in comparing the use of acetate differential agar (ADA) with the simple test described by Sellers to eliminate these organisms from consideration as enteric pathogens. At 18 hr after the media were inoculated, 83% of the isolates produced a positive citrate reaction on Sellers citrate-mannitol-agar (SCM) and 7% gave a positive reaction on ADA. At 24 hr, 92% of the cultures were positive on SCM versus 42% on ADA. At 48 hr, 244 (99.6%) of the isolates were positive on SCM, whereas a 72-hr incubation period was required for equal results with ADA. One isolate failed to grow on either medium. 相似文献

Cell proliferation has been induced from the cambial zone of a branch of Acacia senegal, kept on the basal Knop and Ball medium in the presence of auxin. Transferred on the more complete nutrient medium of Schenk and Hildebrandt, the colonies gave rise to several cell lines. One of the friable lines, consisting of aggregates of parenchymatous cells, gave a cell suspension culture in an agitated liquid medium which is maintained as a strain of illimited growth. The heterogeneous suspension did not undergo noticeable changes after eight transfers. Aggregates collected on a 1000-m nylon seive were able to grow on a solid medium and gave back a friable callus similar to the initial colonies. 相似文献

Rat parietal yolk sacs (PYS) at gestational ages 7.5, 9.5, 11.5, 13.5, 14.5, and 16.5 d were reacted with antibodies against laminin or plasma fibronectin. At all times studied, laminin consistently gave a positive reaction with Reichert's membrane and with the cytoplasm of PYS cells. In contrast, fibronectin gave a negative reaction with Reichert's membrane at day 7.5, was weakly positive at day 9.5, and from then on was increasingly positive with maximum reactivity at 14.5 d. By electron microscopic immunohistochemistry, antilaminin reacted strongly with 14.5-d Reichert's membrane and with the contents of the rough endoplasmic reticulum RER cisternae of the PYS cells. Antifibronectin had some spotty reactivity with Reichert's membrane, but the cytoplasm of the PYS cells was negative. The contents of the vitelline vessels and the interface between trophoblast and Reichert's membrane were strongly positive. Metabolic labeling of PYS cells in organ culture clearly demonstrated the presence of laminin, type IV procollagen, and entactin both in the medium and in tissues, but fibronectin was absent. No component in the medium bound to gelatin-Sepharose columns. These studies demonstrate that PYS cells, which actively synthesize and secrete basement membrane components, do not synthesize any detectable fibronectin. Furthermore, the anti-fibronectin staining pattern in the vitelline vessels and trophoblast-Reichert's membrane interface strongly suggests that the fibronectin present in Reichert's membrane is derived from the maternal circulation and is merely "trapped" in the membrane. 相似文献

An excellent synthetic method of maltol from kojic acid has been established. By Mannich reaction with formaldehyde and dimethylamine, comenic acid gave the mono-Mannich derivative which was reduced to 6-methyl comenic acid. The acid was converted to maltol in good yield by decarboxylation with copper powder or KC–400 (tetra-chloro-diphenyl).Hydroxymethylations of kojic, comenic and pyromeconic acids with formaldehyde in alkaline medium yielded the corresponding methylol derivatives which were converted to 6-methyl kojic acid, 6-methyl comenic acid and maltol in good yields, respectively, by reduction with stannous chloride. Oxidation of 6-methyl kojic acid with chromic anhydride and acetic acid gave 6-methyl comenic acid. 相似文献

Uptake and release of protons during the reaction between cytochrome c oxidase and molecular oxygen: a flow-flash investigation. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Changes in pH during the reactions of the fully reduced and mixed-valence cytochrome oxidase with molecular oxygen have been followed in flow-flash experiments, using the pH indicator phenol red. Solubilized enzyme as well as enzyme reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles has been studied. With the solubilized enzyme, a biphasic uptake of one proton from the medium was observed, whereas the reconstituted enzyme gave release of 1.3 protons to the extravesicular medium. It is concluded from these results that a total of two to three protons are taken up during oxidation of the fully reduced enzyme. Kinetic analysis suggests that the proton uptake is initiated by the transfer of the third electron to the oxygen binding site. A reaction scheme that integrates proton transfers and oxygen chemistry is presented. 相似文献
