A synthetic adsorbent of crystalline calcium silicate hydrate, the product LRA by Advanced Minerals Corp., has been studied for endotoxin removal from aqueous solutions. This adsorbent removes endotoxin effectively, and the removal is greatly enhanced by the presence of an electrolyte such as NaCl, Tris-HCl, or Na2HPO4. It has an endotoxin removal capacity as high as 6 million endotoxin units (EU) per gram. Its endotoxin removal kinetics is fast, and for instance, over 99.9% endotoxin in a 5000 EU/mL solution was removed by mixing for 2 min at an adsorbent usage of 10 g/L. Using the chromatographic column method to treat a 5000 EU/mL solution, an endotoxin log-reduction factor of 6.2 was achieved with a single pass. This adsorbent also demonstrated significantly better performance when compared to many commonly used endotoxin removal agents, such as ActiClean Etox Endotoxin Removal Resin, Affi-Prep Polymyxin Support, Detroxi-Gel Endotoxin Removing Gel, Q Sepharose Fast Flow Media, and Sigma Endotoxin Removal Solution. Furthermore, it demonstrated a high selective removal of endotoxin from a solution of lambda DNA. This adsorbent provides opportunities for developing disposable, scaleable, and cost-effective methods for endotoxin reduction in many biotechnological and pharmaceutical processes. 相似文献

Due to their strategic geographic location between three different continents, Sicily and Southern Italy have long represented a major Mediterranean crossroad where different peoples and cultures came together over time. However, its multi-layered history of migration pathways and cultural exchanges, has made the reconstruction of its genetic history and population structure extremely controversial and widely debated. To address this debate, we surveyed the genetic variability of 326 accurately selected individuals from 8 different provinces of Sicily and Southern Italy, through a comprehensive evaluation of both Y-chromosome and mtDNA genomes. The main goal was to investigate the structuring of maternal and paternal genetic pools within Sicily and Southern Italy, and to examine their degrees of interaction with other Mediterranean populations. Our findings show high levels of within-population variability, coupled with the lack of significant genetic sub-structures both within Sicily, as well as between Sicily and Southern Italy. When Sicilian and Southern Italian populations were contextualized within the Euro-Mediterranean genetic space, we observed different historical dynamics for maternal and paternal inheritances. Y-chromosome results highlight a significant genetic differentiation between the North-Western and South-Eastern part of the Mediterranean, the Italian Peninsula occupying an intermediate position therein. In particular, Sicily and Southern Italy reveal a shared paternal genetic background with the Balkan Peninsula and the time estimates of main Y-chromosome lineages signal paternal genetic traces of Neolithic and post-Neolithic migration events. On the contrary, despite showing some correspondence with its paternal counterpart, mtDNA reveals a substantially homogeneous genetic landscape, which may reflect older population events or different demographic dynamics between males and females. Overall, both uniparental genetic structures and TMRCA estimates confirm the role of Sicily and Southern Italy as an ancient Mediterranean melting pot for genes and cultures. 相似文献

Organisms from yeast to mammals contain cysteine-rich, heavy metal binding proteins termed metallothioneins. The putative roles of these proteins are trace metal homeostasis and detoxification of poisonous heavy metals. The highly conserved chemical composition and the structural constraints led to the conclusion that metallothioneins of different origin must display remarkably similar features. The present review aims at surveying the studies carried out on the metallothioneins of Antarctic Notothenioidei, a dominating fish group endowed of a number of striking adaptive characters, including reduced (or absent) hematocrit and presence of antifreeze glycoproteins. Given the unique peculiarities of the Antarctic environment, a comparative study of the features of notothenioid metallothioneins could provide new insights into the role of these proteins in physiology and toxicology. The results summarized here show that the metallothioneins of this fish group display a number of features at the level of evolution, expression pattern, structure and function remarkably different from those of mammal metallothioneins. 相似文献

A thioalkylation procedure, which uses molecular sieves to promote the reaction, was exploited to provide peptides with useful functional groups (lipidic moieties), naturally occurring on proteins as post-translational modifications. The procedure was further implemented to synthesize tailor-made lipidated peptides, interesting tools to investigate biological processes involving their Ras parent proteins. Moreover, the one-pot preparation of multi-alkylated peptides confirms the versatility and flexibility of the employed methodology. 相似文献
