RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the glycosylated chains of recombinant interleukin-15 fusion protein using capillary isoelectric focusing-whole column imaging detection (WCID-cIEF) spectrograms. METHODS: Using established corresponding mathematical models and the least square method, the WCID-cIEF spectrograms of whole protein, de-salicylic-acid protein and de-N-glycosylation-chain protein were analyzed. Among the mathematical models, the interval-1-peak model was selected. And according to the model, the relationship between isoform peak-areas and isoelectric points was listed. RESULTS: The rationality of the interval-1-peak model was confirmed and a series of basic data was obtained according to the model as follows:the apparent m value of the protein was 25.53 reference(R), the apparent n value of the protein was 28.83R, the apparent m value of sialic acid was 0.86 (0.855) R, the apparent n value was 0.12 (0.119) R, the apparent n value of N-acetylglucosamine (undifferentiated from N-acetylgalactosamine) was 0.06(0.061) R, and the apparent m value of formed carboxyl after N-chain removal was 0.19 (0.186) R. Some information of protein sugar composition was also obtained: the sialylation degree was about 1.83 mol•mol-1, the percentage of prototype protein was about 8.3%, the percentage of single N-glycosated modification protein was about 19.8%, the percentage of double N-glycosated modification protein was about 28.4%, the percentage of triple N-glycosated modification protein was about 23.7%, and the percentage of O-glycosated modification (with sialic acid) protein was about 19.8%. The main sugar types should be G0 (F), G1 (F), G2 (F), G1A1 (F), and G2A1 (F). CONCLUSION: The structure of sugar chain is complex, but it also has some repeatability and regularity. We hope that through this study, the glycoprotein sugar chain can be quickly outlined, the understanding of glycoprotein and the study of protein interaction can be improved.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To detect and analyze the degree of salivary acidification of rhEPO isoforms. METHODS: The isoelectric points of rhEPO isoforms were determined with full column imaging capillary isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. And the charge distribution among rhEPO isoforms was analyzed. The degrees of rhEPO's total saliva acidification were measured using the method of appendices of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. At last, the degrees of saliva acidification of rhEPO isoforms were obtained using multivariate linear fitting. RESULTS: Nine kinds of rhEPO isoforms were distinguished and defined as isoform 1 to 9 with isoelectric points in the range of 3.6 to 5.1. There was one sialic acid molecule between two contiguous rhEPO isoform. Furthermore, the degrees of salivary acidification of the main four kinds of isoforms, 4-7, were 13, 12, 11 and 10 mol/mol, respectively. CONCLUSION :This study lays foundation for rhEPO biosimilar evaluation and further analysis of each isoform of rhEPO.
RESUMO
Se ha buscado y seleccionado sistemáticamente una proteasa que pudiese ser usada en la eliminación "limpia" de encolantes sobre soportes documentales con valor de patrimonio histórico de forma eficiente y económica, a partir de la colección de hongos filamentosos del Archivo de Bogotá. De 74 morfotipos viables evaluados sobre placas selectivas, 32 morfotipos presentaron formación de halos de hidrólisis evidentes sobre placas diferenciales. De ellos, se evaluó el perfil isoenzimático de 8 morfotipos provenientes de muestreos documentales directos y de 2 morfotipos proteolíticos promisorios provenientes de un trabajo previo. Los 10 morfotipos seleccionados fueron representativos de los géneros Penicillium, Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, y Eladia. Luego de inducir la producción de proteasas extracelulares en medios líquidos diferenciales bajo tres fases de fermentación, se realizaron isoelectroénfoques analíticos tendientes a la observación de isoformas en el gradiente de pH establecido (3.0-10.0). Solo los morfotipos 8D (Chaetomium sp.) y 21D (Eladia saccula) presentaron una isoforma alcalina extrema, de puntos isoeléctricos 8.5 y 8.8, respectivamente, susceptible de selección con miras a su purificación y caracterización parcial de forma económica y eficiente. Los demás morfotipos, representativos de los géneros Penicillium sp., y Stachybotrys sp., presentaron unicamente isoformas proteolíticas en el rango acido de pH con puntos isoeléctricos que oscilan entre 4.0 y 5.0.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) protect organisms from freezing and shows great diversity in structure, and they have been found in a variety of organisms. In this study, a total of 15 antifreeze proteins of fish were selected where they represent distinct physicochemical and structural features. The present paper uses bioinformatics approach to describe the physiochemical, functional and structural properties of Antifreeze proteins. Several Physico-chemical properties such as pI, EC, AI, GRAVY and instability index are computed and provide data about these proteins and their properties. The result of primary structure analysis infers that, fish antifreeze proteins are mostly hydrophobic. Disulfide bridges and secondary structures were analyzed using CYS_REC and SOPMA respectively. The three dimensional structure of Antifreeze proteins is predicted by using three homology modeling server Geno3D, Swiss-model and CPHmodels. The model was evaluated with PROCHECK, WHAT IF, and ProSA programs. Model visualization and analysis was done with Pymol. These structures will provide a good foundation for functional analysis of experimentally derived crystal structures.

RESUMO
Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have been observed in virtually all the species of family Enterobacteriaceae. Threat posed by antibiotic resistance because of ESBLs is more serious as a number of technical problems are associated with the detection of these enzymes. Although a number of detection methods have been designed for ESBLs, every method has its own benefits and shortcomings as well. In earlier days, isoelectric focusing (IEF) was used as the gold standard for ESBL detection. This study was undertaken to compare IEF with polymerase chain reaction, a method which has been extensively used for ESBL detection these days.
RESUMO
The existence of microheterogeneity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD)in the human erythrocyt has already been reported(Der Kaloustian 1974).The results has been confirmed recently by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel.In this paper,we used the method which has been modified in some aspects to identify various G6PD variants,and came to interesting conclusions.We provide here our experimental data of two different G6PD types,GdB and Gd(-)Zhuang-Funing,Focusing of the enzyme gives additional in- formation concerning an accurate distinction among the genetic variants.
