Application
Poly (ethylene glycol) can be used as a test compound utilized in the overproduction and purification of recombinant Lactobacillus reuteri LrNDT. It can also be used for concentrating the mutants with lower secretion levels used in ELISAs for the quantitation of shgp190 and of the LIF/shgp190 complexes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a condensation polymer of ethylene oxide and water. It enhances the refolding of extracted proteins. This enables characterization of crystallized proteins.
Preparation Note
Poly(ethylene glycol) dissolves in many organic solvents and is readily soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons. It also slightly dissolves in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

A novel type II nucleoside 2'-deoxyribosyltransferase from Lactobacillus reuteri (LrNDT) has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant LrNDT has been structural and functionally characterized. Sedimentation equilibrium analysis revealed a homohexameric molecule of 114 kDa. Circular dichroism studies

Previous studies on the refolding of recombinant bovine carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) indicated that polyethylene glycol (PEG) significantly enhanced the recovery of active protein by reducing aggregation. To further test the ability of PEG to enhance refolding, three recombinant human

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) inhibited aggregation during refolding of bovine carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) through the formation of a nonassociating PEG-intermediate complex. Stoichiometric concentrations of PEG were required for complete recovery of active protein during refolding at aggregating conditions. For example

The pericellular matrix (PCM) surrounding chondrocytes is thought to play an important role in transmitting biochemical and biomechanical signals to the cells, which regulates many cellular functions including tissue homeostasis. To better understand chondrocytes interactions with their PCM, three-dimensional poly(ethylene
