The present invention makes use of unique tags of a specific biopolymer that can be exploited for determining the concentration the biopolymer in crude solutions. In preferred embodiments the biopolymer is either a protein or a polynucleotide. Particularly, the invention provides a method for the determination and quantitation of biomolecules in crude mixtures by way of a separation technique in combination with mass spectroscopy. In one general embodiment, a target biomolecule is selected for analysis and an analog thereof is generated. Peak area integration of the peptide pairs provides a direct measure for the amount of target protein in the crude solution.

摘要:
Novel carbonyl hydrolase mutants derived from the DNA sequences of naturally-occurring or recombinant non-human carbonyl hydrolases are disclosed. The mutant carbonyl hydrolases, in general, are obtained by in vitro modification of a precursor DNA sequence encoding the naturally-occurring or recombinant carbonyl hydrolase to generate the substitution of one or more amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase. Such mutant carbonyl hydrolases have properties which are different from those of the precursor hydrolase and are especially useful in detergent formulations. The substituted amino acid residues correspond to position +123 and/or +274 in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subtilisin.
摘要:
There are described certain subtilisins wherein the amino acid sequence of such subtilisins has been modified at a position equivalent to +225 in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, such that an amino acid selected from the group consisting of alanine, leucine, methionine, glutamine, valine, and serine, has been substituted for the amino acid residue naturally occurring at such position.
