Separation and purification of B-Phycoerythrin in Porphyridium cruentum / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

The B Phycoerythrin(B PE) could both be separated after crude phycobiliproteins from Porphyridium cruentum were precipitated in ammonium sulphate and dialyzed,then chromatographed on a hydroxylapatite (HA) Column and a Sephadex G 100 column respectively.The purity of B PE separated by two methods was 4.92 and 3.78 (A 545 nm/A 280 nm) respectively.When the purified B PE was electrophoresed under polyacryiamide gradient gel electrophoresis condition,only one band was observed.The B PE possessed an absorption maximum at 545nm and a room fluoresence emission at 574.5nm.
