Application

Methotrexate-agarose is used in protein chromatography, affinity chromatography, metabolic pathways and specialty resins. Methotrexate-agarose has been used to investigate the toxicity mechanism of mortality in adult buffalo flies caused by ingestion of folate analogues. Methotrexate-agarose has also been used to study the purification, cloning, and functional expression of dihydroneopterin triphosphate 2′-epimerase from Escherichia coli.

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-glucoside was identified from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 by HPLC analysis and the enzymatic activity of a glycosyltransferase producing the compound from UDP-glucose and BH4. The novel enzyme, named UDP-glucose:BH4 glucosyltransferase, has been purified 846-fold from the cytosolic fraction

A single polypeptide chain containing two dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) sequences from Escherichia coli was constructed to determine if a repeat sequence fusion protein could be expressed in an active form. The possibility that intersequence interactions could play a significant role

Adapting metabolic enzymes of microorganisms to low temperature environments may require a difficult compromise between velocity and affinity. We have investigated catalytic efficiency in a key metabolic enzyme (dihydrofolate reductase) of Moritella profunda sp. nov., a strictly psychrophilic bacterium with

Pathogenic Yersinia species (Y. enterocolitica, Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis) share a type three secretion system (TTSS) which allows translocation of effector proteins (called Yops) into host cells. It is believed that proteins are delivered through a hollow needle with an

N-[[4-[(2,4-diaminopteridin-6-yl)methyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-7-yl]-carbonyl]-L-homoglutamic acid (MX-68), a derivative of methotrexate, was chemically designed to resist polyglutamation and to have a high affinity for dihydrofolate reductase, in an attempt to reduce the side effects of methotrexate. We confirmed that MX-68 did not undergo polyglutamation

Folic Acid Metabolism in Cancer

This issue of Biofiles reviews some of our newest and most innovative technologies and their specific applications toward cancer research. In preparing this issue of Biofiles, one is reminded how complex the disease of cancer is, and how difficult it is to identify one topic that is completely unrelated to any other.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
