摘要:
A method for increasing the milk coagulating activity of microbial rennet obtained from Mucor pusillus microorganisms, which comprises acylating the microbial rennet in an aqueous medium by contacting the microbial rennet with succinic anhydride at a temperature of about 0°C to about 40°C and a pH of about 4 to about 10 for a time sufficient to obtain the desired increase in milk coagulating activity; and improved microbial rennet having a low PA/MCA index and a high MCA index and obtained by the aforesaid method.
摘要:
A process for producing a metalloproteinase inhibitor or a precursor thereof comprising culturing host cells transformed with a vector including a gene coding for the metalloproteinase inhibitor or the precursor and, if appropriate, cleaving the precursor to yield metalloproteinase inhibitor. The precursor may be a premetalloproteinase inhibitor or a fusion protein comprising a heterologous protein and a metalloproteinase inhibitor. The metalloproteinase inhibitor has application as the effective component in a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of disease processes where accelerated breakdown of the extracellular organic matrix is observed.

β-D-galactosidase catalyzed reactions can be terminated by inhibiting β-D-galalctosidase in a method in which β-D-qalactosidase is brought in contact with a chelating agent at an alkaline pH range other than the optimal pH range for β-D-galactosidase.

Die Erfindung betrifft die Enzymaktivität von humaner elpha-Amylase zu mehr als 90 % unspezifisch hemmende monoklonale Anti-alpha-Amylase-Antikörper, ein Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung und sie enthaltende Arzneimittel.
摘要:
Expression vectors and methods for effecting the production of recombinant renin, prorenin, and preprorenin are disclosed. Sufficient quantities are thus obtained to generate pharmaceuticals useful in the treatment of disorders mediated by excessive renin levels such as hypertension. Methods to purify renin and prorenin from cell supernatants and to increase mature renin secretion are also disclosed.
摘要:
Cells are altered to enhance production of a desired compound by circumventing feedback inhibition of an isozyme that catalyzes a reaction in the the biosynthetic pathway of a desired compound by relying on expression of a gene coding for a non-feedback inhibited isozyme. Also disclosed is a method for selecting mutant cells that have a feedback resistant enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction in the biosynthesis of both the desired compound and in the biosynthes of a second compound that is essential for cell growth. The selection is accomplished by growing the cells in feedback-inhibiting concentrations of the inhibitor (i.e., the desired compound or one of its metabolic precursors) and under conditions in which catalytic activity of the enzyme is required for cell growth. Mutants capable of cell growth have avoided enzyme inhibition.
