Refolding of a Staphylokinase Variant Y1-Sak by Reverse Dilution. Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2008 Oct;151(1):29-41 Authors: He J, Wang G, Xu R, Feng J, Wang J, Su H, Song H To develop more potent thrombolytic agents with fibrinolytic and antiplatelet aggregation activity, staphylokinase (Sak) variant Y1-Sak, a recombinant mutant of the Staphylococcus aureus protein Sak, was constructed. Y1-Sak formed an insoluble inclusion body when overexpressed in Escherichia coli strain JF1125. To obtain an optimized refolding process, dilution refolding was used to optimize refolding conditions. The results revealed that additive L: -arginine and refolding temperature played critical roles in the refolding of Y1-Sak. Subsequently, two refolding methods, gel filtration and reverse dilution, were investigated to refold Y1-Sak. The results indicated that the fibrinolytic activity and recovery of Y1-Sak from gel filtration were lower than those from reverse dilution. Rev

Humans have developed sophisticated thought processes that help to regulate emotions. Sometimes, the innate system goes awry diminishing mental health and quality of life. Recent scholarship has sought to translate basic research to the treatment of clinical disorders by exploring techniques and mechanisms for diminishing fear. According to a study by neuroscientists at [...]

Advanced infant simulation techniques are now helping teams of junior paediatric doctors and nurses train more effectively to deal with the first hours of critical care for sick babies. St Mary's Hospital, part of Imperial College NHS Trust in London, has developed a unique mobile infant simulation system which is being used to replicate actual conditions and problems faced by paediatric teams by taking the training out of a conventional simulation centre onto the wards.
