This book was released on 2008-02-22 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milestones in the techniques and methodology of polypeptide structure determination include the determination of the sequence of insulin by Sanger in 1951 (I) and the introduction of the repeti tive degradation of proteins with phenylisothiocyanate by Edman in 1959 (2). The automation of Edman chemistry (3) played a major role in the determination of polypeptide structures. Important modifications of Edman chemistry include the solid-phase approach by Laursen in 1971 (4) and the use of modified Edman reagents such as 4-N, N-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4'-isothiocy- ate (DABITC) for manual sequencing by Chang et al. (5) in 1976. A second major breakthrough in the analysis of polypeptides was automated amino acid analysis described by Spackman et al. in 1958 (6). However, during the period from 1975 to 1980, it became increasingly clear that the amount of material required for struc tural analysis was more than could be easily isolated for the vast majority of proteins. The field was criticized for its lack of sensitive techniques for the analysis of growth factors, immune modulators, membrane receptors, and peptide hormones. In addition, very little had been done to modernize and improve the original instruments introduced in the mid-1960s. The first indications of improved instrumentation for Edman chemistry came from Wittmann-Liebold's laboratory (7), followed by the introduction of a "micro" sequencer by Hunkapiller and Hood in 1978 (8). The movement toward improved instrumentation culminated in the "gas"--Phase sequencer of Hewick et al. (9) in 1981

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a thorough introduction and laboratory guide! This book is based on the lectures and demonstrations presented at a successful workshop organized by the authors. Expert contributions and the support of more than a dozen companies engaged in bioanalysis and instrumentation enabled the participants to familiarize themselves with the most recent developments e.g. in protein separation and characterization (including laser desorption-ionisation mass spectrometry), fragmentation and micro sequencing. The workshop was held in the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry at Martinsried. It helped graduate students and researchers from academia and industry both to understand and apply themselves the most sophisticated methods available. This book offers a stimulating combination of basic concepts and practical applications - and is thus useful at all levels.

Download or read book A Micro Method of Protein Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The determination of protein by means of Weichselbaum's (1) biuret method is too inexact when dealing with small quantities of protein (less than 200 microgram/ml initial reactant), owing to the low sensitivity of the color reaction. Although we have used this method for protein analysis of enzymatic preparations from amoebae in a simple micro-modification (2) (initial reactant 200 micron 1 with at least 11 microgram protein), we nevertheless have searched for a more sensitive colorimetric method. Nielsen (3) recently reported on a method in which the Cu bound by protein in the biuret reaction is analyzed colorimetrically with sodium-diethyl-dithiocarbamate (DDTC). The method becomes about 50 times more sensitive thereby. This paper describes a modification of this method which permits protein analysis of very small volumes.
Download or read book Advanced Methods in Protein Microsequence Analysis written by Brigitte Wittmann-Liebold and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the recent spectacular progress in the biological sciences can be at tributed ot the ability to isolate, analyze, and structurally characterize proteins and peptides which are present in cells and cellular organelles in only very small amounts. Recent advances in protein chemistry and in particular the application of new micromethods have led to fruitful advances in the understanding of basic cellular processes. Areas where protein-chemical studies have resulted in interest ing discoveries include the peptide hormones and their release factors, growth factors and oncogenes, bioenergetics, proton pumps and ion pumps and chan nels, topogenesis and protein secretion, molecular virology and immunology, membrane protein analysis, and receptor research. In fact, the key methods are now on hand to unravel many of the major outstanding problems of molecular biology and in particular questions of fundamental interest which relate to devel opmental biology and specificity in cell-cell interaction. In this volume we have assembled descriptions of procedures which have re cently been shown to be efficaceous for the isolation, purification, and chemical characterization of proteins and peptides that are only available in minute amounts. Emphasis is placed on well-established micromethods which have been tested and found useful in many laboratories by experienced investigators. The chapters are written by specialists, and describe a range of sensitive techniques which can be used by researchers working in laboratories with only modest resources and equipment.

Download or read book Characterization of Proteins written by Felix Franks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-10-03 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins are the servants of life. They occur in all component parts of living organisms and are staggering in their functional var- ty, despite their chemical similarity. Even the simplest single-cell organism contains a thousand different proteins, fulfilling a wide range of life-supporting roles. Their production is controlled by the cell’s genetic machinery, and a malfunction of even one protein in the cell will give rise to pathological symptoms. Additions to the total number of known proteins are constantly being made on an increasing scale through the discovery of mutant strains or their production by genetic manipulation; this latter technology has become known as protein engineering. The in vivo functioning of proteins depends critically on the chemical structure of individual peptide chains, but also on the detailed folding of the chains themselves and on their assembly into larger supramolecular structures. The molecules and their fu- tional assemblies possess a limited in vitro stability. Special methods are required for their intact isolation from the source material and for their analysis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Proteins are also increasingly used as “industrial components,” e.g., in biosensors and immobilized enzymes, because of their specificity, selectivity, and sensitivity. This requires novel and refined proce- ing methods by which the protein isolate can be converted into a form in which it can be utilized.
