Magnetic Support (magnetic + support)
Selected AbstractsA review of vector convergence acceleration methods, with applications to linear algebra problemsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2009C. Brezinski Abstract In this article, in a few pages, we will try to give an idea of convergence acceleration methods and extrapolation procedures for vector sequences, and to present some applications to linear algebra problems and to the treatment of the Gibbs phenomenon for Fourier series in order to show their effectiveness. The interested reader is referred to the literature for more details. In the bibliography, due to space limitation, we will only give the more recent items, and, for older ones, we refer to Brezinski and Redivo-Zaglia, Extrapolation methods. (Extrapolation Methods. Theory and Practice, North-Holland, 1991). This book also contains, on a magnetic support, a library (in Fortran 77 language) for convergence acceleration algorithms and extrapolation methods. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The supported catalysts were active for the self-metathesis of methyl oleate and macro-monomer in a quantitative conversion, respectively. In addition, the catalyst can be easily separated by using a magnet and reused several times with sustained activity. [source] PURIFICATION OF AMYLASE FROM TILAPIA BY MAGNETIC PARTICLEJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESSING AND PRESERVATION, Issue 1 2010MING CHANG WU ABSTRACT Recent development in magnetic carrier technology involves the use of nonmagnetic substrates attached to superparamagnetic particles forming functionally modified magnetic support to isolate a particular enzyme in a controllable magnetic field. In this study, the superparamagnetic particles were modified by epichlorohydrin and other agents to cross-link with starch to form the purification support. This affinity support was able to bind the amylase and was used in the purification of amylase from Taiwan tilapia. After ammonium sulfate precipitation of amylase from Taiwan tilapia, the modified superparamagnetic particles were able to purify the crude amylase by 20.78-fold with recovery of activity of 75.6%. The molecular weight of the amylase was estimated to be 66.1 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both crude and purified amylase reached an optimum at a pH of 8.0 and temperature of 50C, and the enzyme was stable between 20 and 50C. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Because of the rapid development of high technology such as carrier supports for enzyme purification, the development, research and application of magnetic carriers are timely needed. The present study demonstrated that the affinity superparamagnetic particles could be used as a carrier support to absorb and purify the amylase and that technology of affinity purification can be widely used in protein purification. Compared with the traditional chromatography used in the purification of proteins, this novel affinity superparamagnetic particle technology is rapid, has low operation cost, requires simple facilities, and involves easy separation and recovery of the enzymes. [source] A Novel Magnetic Affinity Support for Protein Adsorption and PurificationBIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 1 2001Xiao-Dong Tong A novel magnetic support was prepared by an oxidization-precipitation method with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the entrapment material. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the magnetic particles had a core-shell structure, containing many nanometer-sized magnetic cores stabilized by the cross-linked PVA. The particles showed a high magnetic responsiveness in magnetic field, and no aggregation of the particles was observed after the particles had been treated in the magnetic field. These facts indicated that the particles were superparamagnetic. Cibacron blue 3GA (CB) was coupled to the particles to prepare a magnetic affinity support (MAS) for protein adsorption. Lysozyme was used as a model protein to test the adsorption properties of the MAS. The adsorption equilibrium of lysozyme to the MAS was described by the Langmuir-type isotherm. The capacity for lysozyme adsorption was more than 70 mg/g MAS (wet weight) at a relatively low CB coupling density (3,5 ,mol/g). In addition, 1.0 M NaCl solution could be used to dissociate the adsorbed lysozyme. Finally, the MAS was recycled for the purification of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from clarified yeast homogenates. Under proper conditions, the magnetic separation yielded over 5-fold purification of the enzyme with 60% recovery of the enzyme activity. [source] | ||||||||||
