摘要:
The present invention provides methods for producing derivatives from cultured cells. In addition, the present invention provides methods for conversion of prenyl deerivatives, obtained from biological or petrochemical sources, to isoprene by employing chemical or biological catalysts. The present invention also provides compositions that include the cultured cells or isoprene or prenyl derivatives produced there from.
摘要:
This invention relates to compositions and methods for producing polymers of isoprene derived from renewable resources, such as isoprene produced from cultured cells that use renewable carbon sources. A starting isoprene composition, such as a bioisoprene composition, is distinguished from petroleum based isoprene by its purity profile (such as lower levels of certain C5 hydrocarbons other than isoprene, presence of certain compounds associated with the biological process for production) and the relative content of the carbon isotopes. Polymers obtained by polymerization of such starting isoprene composition according to this invention, such as a polyisoprene homopolymer or a copolymer having repeat units that are derived from isoprene, are distinguishable from isoprene containing polymers from petrochemical resources.

The present invention more specifically discloses a polyisoprene polymer which is comprised of repeat units that are derived from isoprene monomer, wherein the polyisoprene polymer has δ13C value of greater than −22‰. This type of polyisoprene can be a cis-1,4-polyisoprene homopolymer rubber. Also provided are methods for verifying that a polyisoprene homopolymer or a copolymer having repeat units that are derived from isoprene contains isoprene that is from a sustainable renewable non-petroleum derived source.

Disclosed herein is an assay for determination of albumin in a liquid sample. This assay involves the use of a dye of the structure: ##STR1## wherein n is zero or a positive integer up to 3; R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aroxy, hydroxy, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, amino or a nonaromatic heterocyclic group; and Z and Z.sub.1 independently represent the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atoms needed to complete a substituted or unsubstituted 5- to 7-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring. This dye has a high affinity for albumin over a wide pH range. When the dye is bound to albumin, a shift in the dye spectral absorption occurs. Analytical elements containing this dye and an assay method are disclosed herein.
摘要:
Enzymes which are activated by pyridoxal phosphate are assayed in a dry analytical element which includes a high coverage of pyridoxal phosphate. The coverage of pyridoxal phosphate is such that the multiplication product of the coverage and the spreading coefficient of the element results in a reagent mixture concentration of at least about 0.9 mmole per liter when a liquid sample is contacted with the element thereby eliminating the need for a preincubation of the sample with a solution containing pyridoxal phosphate. The reactions for the determination of the enzymes are initiated by contact of the dry elements with a liquid sample.
摘要:
The activity of an isoenzyme in a sample is determined by assaying for the isoenzyme in the presence of a predetermined concentration of an ionic amphiphile having a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic portion that has a discriminating effect on the activity of the isoenzyme and determining the activity of the isoenzyme present in the sample.
