Modification of yeast uricase with polyethylene glycol: disappearance of binding ability towards anti-uricase serum. 1979

H Nishimura, and Y Ashihara, and A Matsushima, and Y Inada

Uricase from Candida utilis was modified with activated polyethylene glycol (2-O-methoxypolyethylene glycol-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine) of molecular weight of 5,000 daltons. The modification of 43% of the total amino groups in the uricase molecule gave rise to a complete loss of the binding ability towards anti-uricase serum from rabbit. This modified uricase retained 15% of the enzymic activity of non-modified uricase.

D002175 Candida A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).
