Purification of G-Protein Coupled Receptor from Whole Cell of Local Strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
...Show More Authors

The aim of study To purify GPCR from a local strain of S. cerevisiae using Ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography techniques , by packing materials for columns which will be chosen of low cost comparing to the already used in published researches, which depend on the costly affinity chromatography and other expensive methods of purification. Local strain of S. cerevisiae chosen for extraction and purification of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) .The strains were obtained from biology department in Al- Mosul University, Iraq. The isolated colony was activated on Yeast Extract Pepton Dextrose Broth (YEPDB) and incubated at 30 C˚ for 24 h .Loop fully of the yeast culture was transferred to (10ml) of yeast extract peptone glucose agar (YEPGA) slant , then incubated at 30C˚for 24h , after that it was stored at 4C˚ ,the yeast cultures were reactivated and persevered after each two weeks period. S.cerevisiae was identified by morphological, microscopic characterization and biochemical test . The GPCR that extract from whole cell of S.cerevisiae was purified by ion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sepharose ,the bound proteins (negatively charged) were then eluted using gradient concentration of NaCl ranged between( 0.1 -0.5M). Gel filtration chromatography using Sepharose 6B was applied as a second step of purification. The optical density for each fraction was measured at 280 nm by UV-VS spectrophotometer then the GPCR concentration was determined by using ELISA Kit . The fractions which gave the highest absorbance and concentration of GPCR were collected .The molecular weight of GPCR was determined by gel filtration chromatography using blue dextrin solution. Standard curve was plotted between log of molecular weight for standard protein and the ratio of Ve/Vo of GPCR . The purity of the GPCR that extracted and purified from whole cell of S, cerevisiae were carried out by using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis . In ion exchange chromatography the fraction were collected with 5 ml tube at a flow rate 0.5 ml/ min and eluted with gradient (0.1-0.5M) of sodium chloride solution. Two proteins peaks appeared after eluted by the gradient concentration of sodium chloride, while no protein peaks appeared in the washing fractions. The GPCR concentration was measured in the fractions of these two protein peaks, data indicated that GPCR located in the first protein peak (eluted at 0.1M of NaCl) at fraction numbers between 3 and 9, the maximum concentration of GPCR was 9.281 with specific activity 71.58(ng/mg)protein , 3.125 purification folds and72.9(%) yield while the second peaks (eluted at 0.4 M of NaCl) don't give any concentration for GPCR, thus its neglected. Gel filtration chromatography was used as second step of purification which applied by using sepharose 6B. Results show single active protein peaks appeared that identical with the peak of GPCR at fractions numbers(29-35). The maximum concentration of GPCR was 9.082 (ng/ml)was observed in these fractions. The specific activity for these fractions was 151.37 (ng/mg) protein with 6.608 purification folds and 39.64 (%) yield. The present study a chive a relatively high purification of GPCR from whole cell of a local strain S. cerevisiae with fold purification 6.608 and a yield of 39.64 % and molecular weight about~33KD.

Removal of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin from aqueous solutions and an economic evaluation using the electrocoagulation process‏
...Show More Authors

For this research, the utilisation of electrocoagulation (EC) toremove theciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LVX) from aqueous solutions was examined. The effective removal efficiencies are 93.47% for CIP and 88.00% for LVX, under optimum conditions. The adsorption isotherm models with suitable mechanisms were applied to determine the elimination of CIP and LVX utilizingtheEC method. Thefindingsshowed the adsorption of CIP and LVX on iron hydroxide flocs followed the Sips isotherm, with correlation coefficient values (R2) of 0.939 and 0.937. Threekinetic models were reviewed to determine the accurate CIP and LVX elimination methods using the EC method. The results showed that itfittedfor the second-order model, which indicated that the c

A novel deep eutectic solvent‐based liquid membrane for the extraction of glycerol from crude biodiesel
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>This study used deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the liquid membrane in a bulk liquid membrane system (BLM) to remove glycerol from waste cooking oil‐based biodiesel. The DES was prepared from choline chloride and tetraethylene glycol at a molar ratio of 1:5. Diethyl ether was employed as a novel strip phase for the glycerol in BLM. The effects of the DES: biodiesel ratio, stirring speed, and extraction time on the extraction and stripping efficiencies were investigated. The results showed that BLM could give better glycerol removal from biodiesel than mechanical shaking. Increasing the DES: biodiesel ratio, stirring speed, and extraction time can enhance glycerol removal from the feed phase, achievi</p> ... Show More

Studying the Photodegradation of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solutions Using Bimetallic Au–Pd/TiO2 Photocatalyst
...Show More Authors

In this study, the photodegradation of Congo red dye (CR) in aqueous solution was investigated using Au-Pd/TiO2 as photocatalyst. The concentration of dye, dosage of photocatalyst, amount of H2O2, pH of the medium and temperature were examined to find the optimum values of these parameters. It has been found that 28 ppm was the best dye concentration. The optimum amount of photocatalyst was 0.09 g/75 mL of dye solution when the degradation percent was ~ 96 % after irradiation time of 12 hours, while the best amount of hydrogen peroxide was 7μl/75 mL of dye solution at degradation percent ~97 % after irradiation time of 10 hours, whereas pH 5 was the best value to carry out the reaction at the highest degradation percent. In additio

Determination of Timewise-Source Coefficient in Time-Fractional Reaction-Diffusion Equation from First Order Heat Moment
...Show More Authors

     This article aims to determine the time-dependent heat coefficient together with the temperature solution for a type of semi-linear time-fractional inverse source problem by applying a method based on the finite difference scheme and Tikhonov regularization. An unconditionally stable implicit finite difference scheme is used as a direct (forward) solver. While by the MATLAB routine lsqnonlin from the optimization toolbox, the inverse problem is reformulated as nonlinear least square minimization and solved efficiently. Since the problem is generally incorrect or ill-posed that means any error inclusion in the input data will produce a large error in the output data. Therefore, the Tikhonov regularization technique is applie
