The hemolymph containing DZ-scFvs were pooled and subjected to cation exchange chromatography. Cation exchanger TOYOPEARL CM-650M (20 mL; Tosoh Corp.) was packed and equilibrated with starting buffer [10% (v/v) glycerol in 50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 6.8]. The hemolymph treated with starting buffer and proteinase inhibitors was centrifuged to remove insoluble aggregates before the clear solution was subjected to cation exchanger. Unbound proteins were washed out using starting buffer, and then the bound proteins was eluted with starting buffer containing a gradient concentration of NaCl from 0 to 300 mM. Each fraction (20 mL) was collected and analyzed using iELISA and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to evaluate the presence of …show more content…
The same procedures that were used in the iELISA were used until the blocking step. In the competitive step, serial concentrations of DZ in 20% (v/v) methanol in water (50 µL) were added to each well, and then purified DZ-scFvs (diluted in T-PBS) was added (50 μL). An hour later, the plate was washed three times with T-PBS, and then bound DZ-scFvs were allowed to react with a diluted solution (1:5000) of HRP-conjugated mouse IgG against T7-Tag (100 µL/well) for 1 hour. In the last step, the substrate solution (100 µL/well) was added and incubated for 15 min. The developed color was then measured using a microplate reader with an absorbance at 405

    This was done by melting a solution composed of 0.7% agarose in 1x TBE and 0.005% ethidium bromide, and pouring the resulting liquid into comb-containing gel tray until the thickness reached about 6 mm. Once the gel had been allowed to cool for about 20 minutes, it was removed from the tray, placed in a horizontal gel apparatus, and immersed in 1x TBE buffer. Next, three different solutions were prepared from an aliquot of HindII digested lambda DNA and 3 microliters of 6x loading dye, an aliquot of EcoRI digested lambda DNA and 3 microliters of 6x loading dye, and 1 kb DNA ladder and 3 microliters of 6x loading dye. The resulting solutions were then transferred into separate wells within the gel, and the apparatus was connected to a constant current source (45mA) for 60 minutes. After producing clearly visible bands, the gel was taken out of the apparatus and photographed with an ultraviolet light box (Displayed in Figure…

    In our experiment we conducted an experiment to validify our hypothesis: “ If the enzyme concentration increases, it would alter the rate of which the color changes.” We hypothesized that the increase of an enzyme concentration would result in the increase of reaction rate; our experiment provided enough data to prove our hypothesis. The function of this experiment was to investigate how the influence of turnip peroxidase enzyme on the rate of reaction. As a given we would have 20g of turnip in 500 mL of deionized water. We would have a three different trials and in those trials we would do it three times.…

    From the data collected in the experiment the hypothesis that was proposed was not supported. The hypothesis was that after the addition of a lower pH, or an increase in temperature the reaction would proceed faster. The results shown from the experiment are in accordance with the principles of enzyme activity. The varying environmental factors tested changes in pH, temperature, and concentrations of the enzyme affected the activity of horseradish peroxidase. The changes in pH decreased the enzyme activity the further it moved away from pH 7, the optimum pH. Changes in the pH first affect the form of the protein, hydrogen bonds between the amino acids of the molecule and progress until the form of the active center of the enzyme.…

    The homogenates provided were made by homogenizing tissues in a sucrose phosphate buffer in a 1:20 ratio. The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to determine absorbance with a spectrophotometer. Two additional samples were made; one was blank and the other was for the specific homogenate sample. Then 3 microliters of bradford assay reagent, which indicates the amount of protein present by color, was added to all samples. The spectrophotometer was zeroed at 595 nm. A standard curve was made with the different absorbencies and concentrations. After the linear equation was formed, the unknown sample concentration was determined using the standard curve equation. A Gel Electrophoresis was used to perform a qualitative analysis. The use of 5 microliters of the homogenate was heated to 80 degrees Celsius. Then the homogenate was transferred to a 2-microliter-protein gel sample buffer. Samples loaded on to the gel was run at 100 v and stained with comassie blue; observations were made next lab.

    The enzyme peroxidase has been shown to break down H2O2. Enzymes are known to increase the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. We looked at factors that affected the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. These effects are the different temperatures and pH levels the enzymes were placed in. We found that the optimum, or best condition, temperature for the enzymes tested was about 22 degrees Celsius. The optimum pH level for the enzyme was 7.…

    Four environmental factors of enzymes were tested in lab. The changing of pH, substrate concentrations, temperature, and an inhibitor (NaCl) and the effects it hade on the enzyme turnip peroxidase. Enzymes are biological catalysts which increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energies of substrates. A substrate is a reactant that interacts with the enzyme. The enzyme and substrate can be viewed as the recently discovered "induced fit model", which suggests enzymes are flexible and dynamic things that change their shape so all these substrates (reactants) can become catalyzed when the activation energy is lowered and the reactions happen a lot faster. Sometimes in cells though it may not need a particular substrate (reactant) so an inhibitor comes into play. Inhibitors are basically regulators that inhibit (disallow) the process of catalysis to take place within a particular substrate. There are two types of inhibitors that occur in such reactions. Competitive inhibiters are remarkably similar to the substrate, so much that it can match interchangeably with the substrate, thus leading to a halt in the production of the intended product. Another variety of inhibitor is the allosteric inhibitors. Allosteric inhibitors change the shape of the enzyme by binding to a different site other the active site, which is the usual site for catalysis. Usually the allosteric inhibitors make contact with the side of the enzyme opposite the active site. In some occasions however an allosteric activator is introduced and functions by connecting to the enzyme in a way that it allows for easy access for a substrate to the active site. Allosteric activators are the opposite of allosteric inhibitors. These regulators (both inhibitive and active in function) help keep the cell in homeostasis by not allowing too much or too little of a needed or not needed product to be produced.. Enzyme activity is also regulated by cofactors which are either metal ions (e.g. Zn2+, Mg2+) or…

    Over a two week period of time in the laboratory, we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it, both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature, pH, the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature (El-hilali et al., 2012). The most eye catching factors that we tested for their impact on enzyme activity involved change in pH, temperature, boiling extract, and the effects of probing the active site with hydroxylamine. In the first part of…

    Chromatography refers to a set of laboratory methods used in separating as well as purifying biomolecules. A variety of chromatography techniques exist, and all depend on the interaction between a stationary and a mobile state. Two types of chromatography methods were examined in this investigation. First, ion-exchange chromatography was used. This method separates ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to the ion exchanger [2]. Specifically, cation-exchange chromatography was performed, a technique that uses a negatively charged ion exchange resin with an affinity for molecules with a net positive charge. Anion-exchange chromatography relies on the same principal, but with a positively charged ion exchange resin with an affinity…
