Optimization of Asparaginase Immobilization on Carrier, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Alemzadeh , Iran (Supervisor) ; Kazemi, Akhtarolmolok (Supervisor)
Abstract
The enzyme L-asparaginase (L-asparagine amidohydroxylase , EC 3.5.1.1) is utilizable in the treatment of acute childhood lymphoblastic leukaemia. L-asparaginase catalyses the hydrolysis of the amino acid L- asparagines to L-aspartic acid and ammonia. Unlike normal cells,malignant cells which can only slowly synthesize L-asparagine , are killed by lacking exogenous supply. In contrast, normal cells are protected from Asn-starvation due to their ability to produce this amino acid.
In this study , L- asparaginase from E.coli, was immobilized onto a polymeric compound, poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) with cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde and calcium alginate beads .. Herein ,with the use of the... Cataloging briefOptimization of Asparaginase Immobilization on Carrier, M.Sc.
