Structure of the beta-galactosidase gene from Thermus sp. strain T2: expression in Escherichia coli and purification in a single step of an active fusion protein
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to characterize the nucleotide sequence of the beta-galactosidase gene from Thermus sp. strain T2. Recombinant DNA methods were carried out using standard protocols while beta-galactosidase assays were determined with o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside in Z buffer. Results indicated that beta-galactosidases produced in Escherichia coli still retain its catalytic features and thermostability.

Overproduction of Thermus sp. strain T2 beta-galactosidase in Escherichia coli and preparation by using tailor-made metal chelate supports
Article Abstract:
Research demonstrates the production of a chimeric beta-galactosidase bearing a poly-His tag from Thermus sp. strain T2 in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein retains the wild-type enzyme biochemical properties. Furthermore, low-activated cobalt- or nickel-iminodiacetic acid support provides as one-point adsorption point to facilitate purification of the enzyme.

Genetic modification of the penicillin G acylase surface to improve its reversible immobilization on ionic exchangers
Article Abstract:
The mutant form of the enzyme penicillin G acylase is found to increase adsorption on anionic exchangers. The reversible immobilization of the enzyme is also improved by gathering eight novel glutamic residues through enzyme surface via mutagenesis.
