[Method] The proteins were separated by ammonium sul-fates and ion-exchange chromatography. Purity of the proteins was assayed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE）. [Result] The results showed that the proteins were electrophoresis-pure. The specific activity of lysozyme was increased from 144.13 to 2 235 U/mg, and purification factor was 15-fold. Lysozyme recovery rate was estimated to be 15.76%. Bacteriostasis rate of ovotransferrin was 48.84%. [Conclusion] The procedure for separating lysozyme, ovotransferrin and ovalbumin from egg white was simple, fast, low-cost and suitable for industrilization.展开更多

Peptide sections with good antibacterial activity were determined after bacteriostasis experiments, its molecular weight and amino acid composition were analyzed. The results of experiments indicate that with Sephadex G-50 and distilled water as mobile phase, detection wavelength 220 nm, flow rate 1.5 mL/min, sample density 0.2 g/mL, and volume 0.2 mL are the optimal conditions. Bacteriostasis experiments of the fraction of purified peaks were carried out and the result was： peak 1peak 3peak 2; the molecular weight of peak 1 was about 3015 by high performance liquid chromatography; active peptide possessed positive charges by amino acid analysis, its cationic characteristics are in accordance with the nature of antimicrobial peptides.展开更多

Fluorescence intensity showed an increase when gallium（Ⅲ） was bound to 8-hydroxyquinoline and HBED. In contrast, it was decreased with the interaction of gallium（Ⅲ） with salicylic acid and EHPG. At pH 7.4, there was N…H-O type intramolecular hydrogen bond in the former, and the latter existed O…H-O type intramolecular hydrogen bond. Fluorescence titration of apoovotransferrin with gallium（Ⅲ） displayed that the fluorescence intensity was decreased at the N-terminal binding site, while enhanced at the C-terminal binding site. It can account for the O…H-O type intramolecular hydrogen bonds for the phenolic groups of Tyr92 and Tyr191 residues at the N-terminal binding site. And there are N…H-O type intramolecular hydrogen bonds for Tyr431 and Tyr524 residues at the C-terminal binding site. In addition, under the same conditions, the conditional binding constant of gallium（Ⅲ） with EHPG or HBED determined by fluorescence method is lg KGa-EHPG=19.18 or lg KGa-HBED= 19.08.展开更多

Pesudo first-order rate constants as a function of pyrophosphate concentration were measured. The results indicate that the pathways of aluminum removal are different. For the N-terminal binding site, aluminum removal follows simple saturation kinetics, while the removal of aluminum from the C-terminal binding site reverts to the combination of saturation and first-order kinetics. The saturation component is consistent with a rate-limiting conformational change in the protein as has been reported. We propose that the first-order kinetics mechanism is attributed to a pre-equilibrium process. The rate constants of saturation kinetics are accelerated from both terminals with the addi-tion of 0.1 mol/L chloride to the monoaluminum ovotransferrin solutions, whereas the rates of the first-order kinet-ics are decreased for the C-terminal binding site. The effect of chloride ionic strength causes a continuing increase on kobs for the N- and C-terminal binding sites. Moreover, the kinetics behavior of the N-terminal is more easily af-fected by chloride than that of the C-terminal. In the experiment presumably the N-terminal site is apparently ki-netically more labile than the C-terminal site.展开更多
