IMMUNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND COMPARISON BETWEEN EGG YOLK & WHITE RIBOFLAVIN BINDING PROTEINS OF LARGEST FLIGHTLESS BIRD OSTRICH AND THE FLYING BIRD HEN
Abstract:Ostrich (Struthiocamelus), the largest flightless bird's and the flying bird (Gallus gallus) hen's egg Riboflavin Binding Protein (RBP) was isolated and purified from their eggs. First, the purification of RBP was undertaken in two steps, using DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography. Second, the purified (RBP) sample was obtained using gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The holoprotein had an absorption spectrum characteristic of Flavoproteins. The purity of the RBP, was confirmed by SDS slab-gel electropho… Show more
