Abstract
A simple 3-step method for the preparation of highly active urease (EC 3.5.1.5) from jack-bean meal is described which involves an ethanol extraction with subsequent covalent chromatography followed by a gel filtration step. The covalent chromatography procedure requires consecutive thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. Active urease, containing reactive thiol groups, is covalently bonded to the chromatographic material (agarose-2-pyridyl disulfide) via disulfide bridges and subsequently removed by reduction with dithiothreitol.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
