LITERATURE
4 insect chymotrypsins from 3 different insect orders (Dictyoptera, Coleoptera, and two Lepidoptera) are isolated using affinity chromatography
-
affinity chromatography
-
ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, and DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography
-
anion exchange column, cation exchange column, affinity F2
-
chymotrypsin A and B, to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and gel filtration
-
chymotrypsin I and II, by ionic exchange chromatography
-
gel filtration
-
gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography
-
purification from an activated homogenate of bovine pancreas by adsorption onto nonsoluble alginate beads. Under all the experimental conditions, the enzyme has a positive net electrical charge, whereas alginate is negatively charged. After performing steps of washing and desorption, chymotrypsin is purified 9times with an enzyme recovery of 62%. The method allows purification with suitable values from a raw sample like pancreas homogenate without a previous clarification step

SB-TI-Sepharose column chromatography
SBTI-Sepharose column chromatography and HiPrep Sephacryl-100 column gel filtration
-
use of Sepharose-immobilized denatured alpha-chymotrypsin for purification
