Isolation of a pure dextranase from Penicillium funiculosum. 1970

L Chaiet, and A J Kempf, and R Harman, and E Kaczka, and R Weston, and K Nollstadt, and F J Wolf

A dextranase, produced by Penicillium funiculosum, was purified 1,000-fold to yield the enzyme which was demonstrated by gel electrophoresis and electrofocusing to be a homogeneous protein. The purification method included acetone partition, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, iron defecation and precipitation, and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography. The pure enzyme was also obtained by preparative gel electrophoresis. Gel-permeation chromatography indicates a molecular weight of 41,000. An isoelectric pH of 4.6 was established by electrofocusing. A 1-mg amount of the enzyme hydrolyzes a dextran substrate to yield 27,000 isomaltose reducing units in 2 hr.

D004589 Electrophoresis, Disc Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones. Electrophoresis, Disk,Disc Electrophoresis,Disk Electrophoresis
D005782 Gels Colloids with a solid continuous phase and liquid as the dispersed phase; gels may be unstable when, due to temperature or other cause, the solid phase liquefies; the resulting colloid is called a sol.
D006863 Hydrogen-Ion Concentration The normality of a solution with respect to HYDROGEN ions; H+. It is related to acidity measurements in most cases by pH pH,Concentration, Hydrogen-Ion,Concentrations, Hydrogen-Ion,Hydrogen Ion Concentration,Hydrogen-Ion Concentrations
D006867 Hydrolases Any member of the class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of the substrate and the addition of water to the resulting molecules, e.g., ESTERASES, glycosidases (GLYCOSIDE HYDROLASES), lipases, NUCLEOTIDASES, peptidases (PEPTIDE HYDROLASES), and phosphatases (PHOSPHORIC MONOESTER HYDROLASES). EC 3. Hydrolase
