Preparation of gram quantities of a purified R-factor-mediated penicillinase from Escherichia coli strain W3310

Preparation of gram quantities of a purified R-factor-mediated penicillinase from Escherichia coli strain W3310

J Melling et al. Biochem J. 1972 Nov.

Abstract

Purified penicillinase, in gram quantities, has been prepared from Escherichia coli strain W3310 by using methods developed to handle large amounts of material. The final product had a specific enzyme activity of 3.08 units/mug of protein, which was over twice as high as that reported previously (Datta & Richmond, 1966). The purified enzyme was similar to that from E. coli strain TEM, but different in molecular weight and some other respects. The differences observed may be a result of the greater purity obtained.
