maclura pomifera/tyrosine

The structural properties of eight lectins (agglutinins) were studied by the circular dichroism (CD) probe. The lectin from Maclura pomifera (osage orange seed) exhibited in the far-ultraviolet spectral zone a positive CD band centered at 201 nm, whereas the other lectins had positive bands at

The Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA) was purified by affinity chromatography from a seed extract and its properties were compared with those of the Artocarpus integrifolia lectin, jacalin. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography showed both proteins had multiple forms of a small

The aim of this study is to purify carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes from human erythrocyte, isolate two natural products osajin (OSJ) and pomiferin (PMF) from Maclura pomifera fruits, and evaluate the in vitro effect of these natural metabolites on these isoenzymes. These natural products may
