摘要:
The invention relates to a method for stripping undesired nucleic acid components from double-stranded DNA, in particular, super-coiled plasmid DNA. The method according to the invention is characterised by the steps: (a) provision of a mixture containing completely and/or partly double-stranded nucleic acids and optionally single-stranded nucleic acids; (b) resuspension of the mixture from step (a) in an aqueous, low-molarity buffer system with low ionic strength and low buffer effect; (c) adjusting conditions in the mixture from step (b), under which the completely and/or partly double-stranded nucleic acids are denatured; (d) further addition of buffer and a polymer component to the mixture from step (c); (e) incubation of the mixture from step (d) for a time which is sufficient for the formation of an aqueous two-phase system with an upper and lower phase; and (f) removal of the upper phase containing the single-strand nucleic acid and collection of the double-strand nucleic acid from the lower phase.

The invention relates to a process for isolation of plasmid DNA from biomass by means of an aqueous 2-phase system having a polymer component and a salt component, characterized in that the resuspension of the biomass employed, the alkaline lysis of the biomass, the neutralization of the alkaline lysis batch and the separation of the plasmid DNA from the contaminants are carried out in a single reaction vessel (one-pot process) rendered possible in that the neutralization of the alkaline lysis batch is carried out in one and the same container by addition of potassium phosphate and one component of the aqueous 2-phase system is therefore already present. The second component of the aqueous 2-phase system is a PEG having a molecular weight of the mathematical average of about 600 g/mol to 1,000 g/mol.

According to the invention, this is rendered possible in that the neutralization of the alkaline lysis batch is carried out in one and the same container by addition of potassium phosphate and one component of the aqueous 2-phase system is therefore already present, and in that the second component of the aqueous 2-phase system is a PEG having a molecular weight of the mathematical average of about 600 g/mol to 1,000 g/mol, but is preferably formed from a mixture of PEG 600 and PEG 1000.

The invention relates to the use of the N-acetyl amino acid racemase from Amycolatopsis orientalis subspecies lurida for the racemiszation of N-carbamoyl amino acids. This use permits the 100% preparation of optically pure amino acids starting from racemic hydantoins in an enzymatic overall process.

摘要:
A keto ester reductase capable of being used in an NADH-dependent enzymatic reaction for converting .beta., .gamma. and .delta. ketonic acid esters into the corresponding optically active .beta., .gamma. and .delta. hydroxycarboxylic acid esters can be isolated from strains of Candida parapsilosis, Yarrowinia cellobiosa, Rhodococcus erythropolis or Pseudomonas acidovorans, preferably cultivated on a long -chain alkane and/or alkane acid-containing culture medium, approximately in the presence of an inductor. The microorganism is preferrably, Candida parapsilosis DSM 70125. A usable enzyme preparation can be recovered by fractionated PEG-precipitation from the cell raw extract: high specific activities (for example 1855 U/mg) may then be obtained by chromatographic purification. The keto ester reductase is characterized as having a molecular weight of 136 kDa+11 kDa as determined by gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-200, a pH optimum for conversion of the keto ester to the hydroxy acid esters between pH 7.8 and 8.0 and for the reverse reaction of converting the acid esters to the keto esters at a pH optimum of 9.5, and a temperature optimum between 36.degree. and 40.degree. C. for conversion of the keto esters to the hydroxy acid esters and from 50.degree. to 56.degree. C. for the reverse reaction of converting the acid esters to the keto esters. Not only (possibly substituted) so-called ketonic esters are accepted, but also number of other oxo-compounds among which diketones, (possibly substituted, in particular halogenated) aliphatic alicyclic and aromatic ketones, as well as ketoacetals and aldehydes. The S-enantiomer-forming reduction is supplemented by the possibility to recover R-enantiomers from racemates by oxidizing the S-enantiomer and separating the oxo-compound.

A method of separating albumin from serum by ion exchange chromatography with membrane adsorbers characterized by high productivity and yields of high purity albumin. The separation of the albumin is carried out on highly basic anion exchange membranes and on highly acidic cation exchange membranes. The albumin fraction can be eluted from the anion exchange membrane such that it can be fed directly to the cation exchange membrane without any special conditioning and the albumin can be extracted therefrom as an end product.

The invention is directed to obtaining phenylalanine-dehydrogenase containing microorganisms by a special selection process comprising obtaining microorganisms, especially strains of Rhodococcus and the phenylalanine-dehydrogenase obtained in them. With the help of this enzyme there are obtained L-.alpha.-aminoacids from the corresponding ketocarboxylic acids by reductive amination.
摘要:
A peptide amidase isolated from the flavedo of citrus fruits, preferably oranges, which is capable of catalyzing the selective hydrolytic elimination of the free amino group on the C-terminal end of peptide amides but which does not cleave peptide bonds. The enzyme accepts D-amino acid residues in the C-terminal position, although the hydrolysis rate is much slower than with L-amino acid residues. The enzyme is weakly inhibited by serine protease inhibitors; has an optimal pH of 7.5.+-.1.5, an optimum temperature of 30.degree. C. at pH 7.5 and has an isoelectric point of pH 9.5. The peptide amidase is stable at pH 6.0-9.0. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme is 32,000.+-.3000 daltons. A peptide amidase according to the present invention is particularly useful in the production of peptides by continuous enzymatic reaction of N-protected amino acid or peptide alkyl esters with amides of amino acids. In the continuous reaction, the synthesized peptide amide is hydrolyzed by the peptide amidase and separated by anion exchange from the amide of the amino acid which can be recycled.
