Abstract

An improved high resolution single method for orosomucoid ORM1 and ORM2 phenotyping using isoelectric focusing (IEF) in wide-scales ultrathin layer polyacrylamide gels of pH range 4.2 to 4.9 is presented. The method is reliable, simple, and provides an alternative for the three currently required ones for typing this genetic system.

Peroxidase-labelling of human serum transferrin by conjugation to oligosaccharide moieties.

The generation of reactive aldehydes on the carbohydrate moieties of the human serum transferrin was performed by a derivatization procedure based on the mild oxidation with sodium periodate and subsequent reaction with peroxidase hydrazide. The synthesized conjugate was compared to that obtained by modification of the amino acid side chains of transferrin. The conjugate reaction mixture assayed by SDS-PAGE consisted, besides unreacted compounds, of three main bands, corresponding to a molar ratio transferrin:peroxidase of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3. After blotting, these bands were identified by either anti-peroxidase and anti-transferrin antibodies on nitrocellulose membrane. ELISA detection method showed that the conjugate via oligosaccharide moieties (glycans) was still recognized not only by the anti-transferrin antibodies but also by the specific cellular receptor, while the conjugate via amino acids failed to display this latter ability. The different behaviour can be probably due to a significant damage of the protein structure or, possibly, to the peroxidase binding at sites recognized by the receptor. The results reported here indicate that the conjugation procedure through glycans leads to stable and selected transferrin-conjugates fully exhibiting their biological activity.

Transverse formamide gradients as a simple and easy way to optimise DNA single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis.

Although widely used, the detection of DNA mutations by the single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method is often hampered by the need to examine a large set of electrophoretic conditions in order to select the one suited to the DNA sequence under study. We show here that the use of transverse chemical gradient gels allows for a quick and easy optimisation of SSCP analysis, as exemplified on two mutations in exon 2 of the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene.

Sodium alkyl ether sulfate preparative electrophoresis for the preparation of reaction centers without H-subunit from Rhodopseudomonas viridis.

Sodium alkyl ether sulfate (AES), an analog of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for the partial decomposition of the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of Rhodopseudomonas viridis. Unlike SDS, AES did not completely dissociate RC into its subunits but selectively detached H-subunit from RC to give RC(-H) without losing the spectroscopic nature of RC. For the denaturation of RC(-H), AES was found to be as mild as 3-[3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-l-propanesulfonate (CHAPS).
