Published: May 2020

Aim: The evaluation of the trend in the occurrence of melanoma nodulare, melanoma superficiale, lentigo maligna and melanoma in situ in the period of 2002–2017 in East Bohemia region in the Czech Republic. We examine if the annual numbers of hours of sunshine could affect the number of patients with melanoma. Method: In the peridod of 2002–2017, altogether 2230 patients with new diagnosis of melanoma were examined. We studied 1) If there is some trend in the occurrence of lentigo maligna and melanoma in situ, melanoma superficiale, and melanoma nodulare and if there is a difference in the age of patients with this diagnosis (adjusted calculation of specific kind of melanomas and adjusted calculation of age). 2) If the annual numbers of hours of sunshine affect the trend in the occurrence of melanoma and if the annual numbers of hours of sunshine affect the body site of melanoma. Results and conclusion: Our study confirmed that the number of patients with lentigo maligna and melanoma in situ had increased in East Bohemia region in the period of 2002–2017. The number of melanomas of nodular and superficial type does not increase. The total number of melanomas in this period does not increase either. No difference of the age of patients with melanoma nodulare, superficiale, lentigo maligna and melanoma in situ was confirmed. We confirmed no relation of the annual numbers of hours of sunshine to the number of melanoma and to the body site of melanoma.

Tożsamościowe wyzwania kobiet sprawujących opiekę nad dzieckiem w związkach jednopłciowych w świetle koncepcji Vivienne Cass
Authors: Jowita Wycisk Jowita Wycisk
Published: May 2020

Development of the contemporary post-industrial society entails the increasing diversity of family life models. People, making individual choices in this field, face new challenges related to identity formation. In the text presented this issue is discussed on the example of women bringing up children in same-sex relationships. The article presents basic information on the same-sex parenting, underlines the importance of the idea of identity integration in psychology and stresses the lack of contiguity between theories of parental identity development and these ones of homosexual and bisexual identity development. An extensive discussion of the Vivienne Cass’s theory of sexual orientation identity development is the basis for the approximation of potential discrepancies in the identity system of non-heterosexual women taking parental roles. Two main factors relevant to the processes of identity formation were distinguished: the order of the development of the sexual orientation identity and parental identity (the planned and reconstructed families differ in this regard) and the way of establishing and maintaining the relationship with the child (other challenges are faced by biological and social mothers). In the summary, questions requiring future empirical exploration were notified.
Dorastanie do lojalności. Lojalność wobec organizacji pracowników pokolenia Y
Authors: Chirkowska-Smolak Teresa
Published: May 2020

The aim of the work is to present the problem of organizational loyalty among representatives of the Y generation, stereotypically perceived as selfish, arrogant and disloyal. Based on the results of three studies (N1 = 336, N2 = 213 and N3 = 118), the level of organizational loyalty in three age groups was compared (younger and older representatives of Generation Y and employees from generation X). There was also analyzed the relationship between loyalty and job satisfaction, and between loyalty, and organizational justice. The obtained results allow to state that loyalty is moderately related to organizational factors (satisfaction, perceived justice) and that a similar pattern of dependence occurs in all distinguished age categories. The results show that loyalty grows with age, and employees by the age of 30 have significantly lower level of loyalty to the organization compared to employees from their parents’ generation.

Published: May 2020

Brand Hero is a character identifying the brand. It is also the tool of marketing communication especially uses in the case of brands addressed to children. For them, the brand hero is a character with which they create an emotional bond. Therefore is possible, that Brand Hero accompanying product increases its sale, because in the influence market children largely decide about the purchases of goods intended for them. The study was conducted for parents and childless persons (N = 770) and its aim was to identify the influence of 3 types of brad heroes (no-name, multigenerational, mainstream) and lack of brand hero on purchase decisions regarding juice. The outcomes show the participants for themselves chose juice without the hero. When they chose juice for children comparably often chose juice without the hero and with the multigenerational and mainstream hero. The justifications of the choice allowed getting to know the motives that were directed. The most surprising fact was that, for the large group of participants (also parents), the presences of brand hero evoked adverse associations for the brand, and first of all lower quality of the product and manipulation of marketing.

Banach, M.A. Michalski, J. Sójka, „Człowiek i Społeczeństwo” vol. XLVI: Między Chinami a Zachodem. Pytanie o źródła chińskiego sukcesu gospodarczego [Between China and the West. An inquiry into the sources of the Chinese economic miracle], Poznań 2018, pp. 85–102, Adam Mickiewicz University. Faculty of Social Sciences Press. ISSN 0239-3271

The study of Chinese culture and its influence on economy is not an easy task due to the size of this country, its multiculturalism, economic differences between regions, differences in the types of business ownership and cultural differences of generations of the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. Research by G. Hofstede, R. Gesteland or the concepts of F. Fukuyama and other researchers can be a good and reliable starting point for in-depth further research. Relying on them only, however, can lead to a certain schematic in the perception of this country. The rebirth of traditional religions of this country and their specific syncretism may have a significant impact on the business conducted in China.
An Archive in a Book: Documents and Letters from the Early-Mamluk Period
Authors: Liebrenz Boris
Published: May 2020

The nature and place of archives in the premodern Islamicate world is a much debated topic and various explanations are offered for the relative scarcity of preserved material as well as the regional imbalance in the record. One factor that stands out in this discussion is the general prominence of counter-archival practices for the survival of what we are studying today. This contribution is the first to examine one such practice that has led to the preservation of a great number of documents: the reuse of discarded papers for the production of bindings. The case study looks at the binding of Leiden Or. 122, which preserved letters, decrees, and lists from Egypt and Syria at the beginning of the Mamluk reign. They likely belonged to a large household in Cairo, more precisely located in the Ayyubid palace Iṣṭabl al-Quṭbiyya. The article offers an edition of the material with an analysis of the historical circumstances, namely the eventful early years of Mamluk rule in Egypt and Syria.

West and East coast of Sumatra are two different geographical and trade routes. The West Coast is connected with trade direction to India, Arabia and Africa while on the East Coast it is connected with trade in the Malacca Strait, East Asian economy. Based on photos of satellite images at night, the east coast has more light compared to the west coast. This study analyzed the differences in economic inequality between the economy of the population residing in the West Coast Region and the East Coast of Sumatra. This study took data sourced from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency published in the last 5 years, 2013-2017. The data were processed using SPSS and Excel using the Williamson Index analysis tool. There are 23 Regencies / Cities in the West Coast and 23 Regencies / Cities in the East Coast analyzed where the West Coast average growth rate in the last 5 years is 5.17% and East Coast 5.48% with the Inequality index using the Williamson Index formula in West Coast 0.37 and East Coast 0.28. It was found that economic activity on the East Coast tends to be more lively and higher economic growth with a low level of inequality compared to the West coast of Sumatra
Association between LH receptor regulation and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a rodent model
Authors: Zheng Cuihong , Gulappa Thippeswamy , Menon Bindu , Menon K M J
Published: May 2020

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a common complication of ovarian stimulation associated with the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during assisted reproduction. We have determined the expression of luteinizing hormone receptor (Lhcgr) mRNA, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and its transcription factor, HIF1α, during the periovulatory period in a rodent model of OHSS and compared these results with normal ovulatory periods. These results showed that the downregulation of Lhcgr mRNA in response to conditions that mimic preovulatory LH surge was significantly impaired in the OHSS group compared to the complete downregulation seen in the control group. Most importantly, the downregulation of luteinizing hormone receptor mRNA expression following hCG administration was sustained in the control group up to 48 h, whereas it remained at significantly higher levels in the OHSS group. This impairment of hCG-induced Lhcgr downregulation in the OHSS group was accompanied by significantly elevated levels of VEGF and its transcription factor, HIF1α. Furthermore, the downregulation of Lhcgr that occurs in response to a preovulatory LH surge in normal cycles was accompanied by low levels of VEGF. This study shows that, while downregulation of Lhcgr as well as low VEGF levels are seen in response to a preovulatory LH surge in normal ovarian cycle, impaired Lhcgr downregulation and elevated VEGF levels were found in the OHSS group.
The public and the private: reconfiguring the interrelationship during a civil act
Authors: Kostenko Natalia
Published: May 2020

The subject matter of research interest here is the movement of sociological reflection concerning the interplay of public and private realms in social, political and individual life. The focus is on the boundary constructs embodying publicity, which are, first of all, classical models of the space of appearance for free citizens of the polis (H. Arendt) and the public sphere organised by communicative rationality (Ju. Habermas). Alternative patterns are present in modern ideas pertaining to the significance of biological component in public space in the context of biopolitics (M. Foucault), “inclusive exclusion of bare life” (G. Agamben), as well as performativity of corporeal and linguistic experience related to the right to participate in civil acts such as popular assembly (J. Butler), where the established distinctions between the public and the private are levelled, and the interrelationship of these two realms becomes reconfigured. Once the new media have come into play, both the structure and nature of the public sphere becomes modified. What assumes a decisive role is people’s physical interaction with online communication gadgets, which instantly connect information networks along various trajectories. However, the rapid development of information technology produces particular risks related to the control of communications industry, leaving both public and private realms unprotected and deforming them. This also urges us to rethink the issue of congruence of the two ideas such as transparency of societies and security.
Social inequality in the evolution of human societies
Authors: Derluguian Georgi
Published: May 2020

The author develops ideas about the origin of social inequality during the evolution of human societies and reflects on the possibilities of its overcoming. What makes human beings different from other primates is a high level of egalitarianism and altruism, which contributed to more successful adaptability of human collectives at early stages of the development of society. The transition to agriculture, coupled with substantially increasing population density, was marked by the emergence and institutionalisation of social inequality based on the inequality of tangible assets and symbolic wealth. Then, new institutions of warfare came into existence, and they were aimed at conquering and enslaving the neighbours engaged in productive labour. While exercising control over nature, people also established and strengthened their power over other people. Chiefdom as a new type of polity came into being. Elementary forms of power (political, economic and ideological) served as a basis for the formation of early states. The societies in those states were characterised by social inequality and cruelties, including slavery, mass violence and numerous victims. Nowadays, the old elementary forms of power that are inherent in personalistic chiefdom are still functioning along with modern institutions of public and private bureaucracy. This constitutes the key contradiction of our time, which is the juxtaposition of individual despotic power and public infrastructural one. However, society is evolving towards an ever more efficient combination of social initiatives with the sustainability and viability of large-scale organisations.
Demoralised but not depraved: Why societal lack of norms disheartens people but does not necessarily make them commit moral transgressions
Authors: Maksymenko Ol’ha
Published: May 2020

Since the early days of sociology, the anomie phenomenon has interested many social scientists. A number of theories have been developed, a host of empirical studies (including cross-national) have been performed since Emile Durkheim described this phenomenon and introduced the “anomie” term. Still, there is no general consensus among scholars on what anomie is and what it is not. A hard-and-fast definition of anomie has not yet been given, and what is more, researchers look at this phenomenon from at least two different perspectives: individual and institutional, explaining it as a “state of mind” or a “state of society” respectively. In terms of society, anomie has mostly been associated with malfunctioning social institutions and breakdown of moral standards, as is evidenced by high crime rates and public justification of unethical behaviour. On the other hand, living even in a “totally anomic” society and experiencing a whole range of anomie-driven emotions and reactions does not necessarily mean acting immorally. To what extent is the thesis about a link between anomie and moral decline of society applicable at individual level? The author seeks to answer this question.

Probiotic food products are available at the supermarket commercially, but probiotic bakery products are much less in evidence. In the present study, methyl cellulose (2%), whey protein concentrate (2%), corn starch (1%), and soybean oil at 2, 4, and 6% were used for coating layer on the bulked bread surface, and then the quality properties were studied. The results showed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, as probiotic component of the coating, immobilized in corn starch, whey protein, and methyl cellulose films had enhanced viability throughout shelf-life. The probiotics remained viable for 4 days, maintaining high viable cell number levels. Adding soybean oil at 6% concentration enhanced texture, sensory properties, and image index during storage.
BIOTECHNOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF PSEUDOKIRCHNERIELLA SUBCAPITATA, SCENEDESMUS SPINOSUS, AND SCENEDESMUS ACUMINATUS
Authors: Nascimento V.M. , Nascimento K.M. , Fonseca G.G.
Published: May 2020

Microalgae are promising alternatives to sequestration of carbon and reduction of environmental problems, e.g. the greenhouse effect and industrial water pollution. Depending on the growth conditions, microalgae can differ in their metabolism products, leading them to grow at different rates. Intracellular reactions and nutritional requirements from cell metabolism, as well as biomass composition, may vary in function of the temperature. In this study, the biotechnological potential of three microalgae strains from the species was evaluated in terms of growth, biomass composition, fatty acid profile, and chlorophyll and carotenoids contents. Each of the three species demonstrated different potential depending on their metabolisms: Scenedesmus spinosus presented fastest growth and had the highest protein content (52.99%), Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata presented the highest content of lipid extracted (26.51%), and Scenedesmus acuminatus showed increased production of chlorophyll (5.25 mg l–1) and carotenoid (1.02 mg l–1) pigments.
EVALUATION OF XYLANASE PRODUCTION FROM FILAMENTOUS FUNGI WITH DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES
Authors: Bakri Y. , Akeed Y. , Jawhar M. , Arabi M.I.E
Published: May 2020

Xylanase plays an important role in the food, feed, and pulp/paper industry. Filamentous fungi have been considered as useful producers of this enzyme from an industrial point of view, due to the fact that they excrete xylanases into the medium. In this study, four fungal species belonging to different genera, i.e. Aspergillus, Cochliobolus, Pyrenophora, and Penicillium were isolated from different sources and compared for their ability to produce xylanase in submerged culture. The fungal species showed enzyme activity as determined by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. It was found that the two saprophytic Aspergillus strains, i.e A. terreus (Fss 129) and A. niger (SS7) had the highest xylanase activity of 474 and 294 U ml–1 at pH 7 and 8, respectively, in the presence of corn cob hulls after 120 h of incubation. The production of xylanase seemed to be strongly influenced by the interactive effect of initial pH on the fungi. Interestingly, xylanase was better produced by the saprophytic fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium than by the plant pathogenic ones of Cochliobolus and Pyrenophora. This work provides additional information to support future research on fungi with different lifestyles for food industrial production of xylanase.

Published: May 2020

Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka group and control group (n = 6). The rats in Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka group were given Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka juices (1 mL/100 g) by oral administration each day, continued for 14 days; the rats in control group were given Stroke-physiological saline solution (1 mL/100 g) by oral administration each day, continued for 14 days. The rats of these two groups were given a single oral administration of erlotinib (20 mg/kg) on the 15th day. After blood sampling at different time points and processing, the concentrations of erlotinib in rat plasma were determined by the established ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with erlotinib-d6 as an internal standard (IS). The initial mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water (containing 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes were utilized to conduct quantitative analysis. The sensitive, rapid and selective UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to analyse the effect of Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka on pharmacokinetics of erlotinib in rat plasma. There were no significant differences in AUC(0−t), t1/2, Tmax, CL, Cmax between the two groups (P > 0.05). While MRT(0−t) was decreased (P < 0.05) in Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka group, compared to the control group. It showed that Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka could not affect the metabolism of erlotinib.
Theoretical and Practical Implications of Evidence in Religion Court
Authors: Muhiddin Muhiddin
Published: May 2020

In the civil procedural law, the certainty of the truth of the events proposed at the trial depends very much on the evidence carried out by the parties concerned. As a consequence, the truth is said to exist or be reached if there is a match between the judge's conclusion (the result of the process) and the events that have taken place. Whereas if the opposite happens, it means that the truth is not reached. Research conducted by the author is research based on document research (Library Research), meaning that the data that are used as a reference in this study are facts in the field that have been documented in the Court's decision. The results of this study indicate that the contribution of evidence in court is very necessary, because one of the duties of the judge is to investigate whether there is a legal relationship on which the lawsuit really exists or not. The existence of this legal relationship must be proven by the parties in court.

Published: May 2020

Ana Metal Sanayi, ülke ekonomisinin ve sanayisinin gelişmesinde önemli bir faktör olmakla birlikte, kriz dönemlerinde sektörün küçülmesi, ülke istihdamını ve ekonomisinin negatif yönde etkilemektedir. Ana Metal Sanayi firmalarının yıllar bazında performans değerlendirmesinin yapılması, bu çalışmanın ana amacını oluşturmaktadır. Performans değerlendirmesi, işletmenin kullandığı kaynakları, ürettiği mal ve hizmetleri, elde ettiği sonuçları takip etmesi, düzenli ve sistematik bir şekilde veri toplaması, bunları analiz edip yorumlaması ve raporlaması sürecidir. Performansın hesaplanması ve ölçülmesi; zor ve karmaşık bir süreçtir. Firma düzeyinde ve sektör bazındaki finansal değerlendirmeler firmaların performans değerlendirmesinde yatırımcılar ve firma yöneticileri açısından yol göstericidir. Ancak finansal oranları girdi ve çıktı değişkeni olarak değerlendirip, firmanın performans değerlendirilmesinin yapılması daha gerçekçi yorumlar yapılmasını sağlar. Bu çalışmada, BIST’te işlem gören 17 adet Ana Metal Sanayii firmalarının etkinliği 2010-2018 dönemi için Veri Zarflama Analiz Yöntemi (VZA) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, girdi değişkenleri; Likidite oranı, Cari oran, Toplam Borç/Özsermaye, Toplam Aktifler; Çıktı değişkenleri; Net Gelir, Özkaynak Karlılığı, Net Kar Marjı, Tobin Q’dur. Çalışmada, girdiye yönelik etkinlik analizi yapılmıştır ve analiz sonucuna göre, 2010-2018 döneminde etkinlik skorları, ilgili bütün firmaların yıllık ortalama değerleri; CCR ve BCC modeline göre 2012 yılından 2018 yılına kadar genel bir düşüş trendi göstermektedir.  2018 yılında 2016-2017 yıllarına göre bir parça pozitif yöne dönüş trendi göstermesine rağmen 2012 yılından daha düşük seviyede olduğu görülmüştür.
KÜRESELLEŞME SÜRECİNDE MARKALAŞMA VE ÇOK ULUSLU ŞİRKET MARKALARI & MARKALARIN KÜRESEL ETKİNLİĞİ
Authors: ORAN İbrahim Bora
Published: May 2020

Küreselleşme sürecinde, dünyada üstünlükleri kabul edilmiş olan bazı markaların, küresel ekonomi politikaları ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar sayesinde satışlarının azami artış göstermesi nedeniyle küresel marka haline geldikleri görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, aslında daha önceden var oldukları halde küresel ekonomi sistemiyle çok fazla büyüme gösteren yüksek gelirli işletmelerin arka planında aynı zamanda kendi marka stratejilerinin rolü araştırılmaktadır. Ayrıca, eski ekonomi sistemlerindeki ulusal pazarlar ile küresel ekonomi sisteminin uluslararası pazarların çok farklı olması nedeniyle küreselleşen şirketlerin marka stratejilerini küresel ekonomi şartlarına göre belirledikleri görülmüştür. Çünkü küresel marka olması istenen bir ürünün bütün dünya pazarına kaliteli bir biçimde sunulabilmesi için dünyada bölgesel, yöresel ve kültürel farklılıklar nedeniyle küresel tüketim toplumunun istek ve ihtiyaçların da farklı olması nedeniyle her ürünün dünya ekonomisine girmesi aynı kolaylıkta olmamaktadır. Bu yüzden belirli özelliklere sahip bir ürünle dünya pazarında faaliyet gösterebilmek güçlü bir markaya ve yüksek finansal güce sahip olmayı gerektirdiği için küreselleşmenin başlangıç ve gelişme yıllarında daha ziyade dünyadaki çok büyük şirketler faaliyet gösterebilmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, dünyadaki çok daha küçük işletmelerin de gelirlerinin arttırabilmek için küresel marka oluşturabilmesinin çareleri araştırılmaktadır.

Published: May 2020

Üniversiteler; dünyada yaşanan hızlı değişim ve dönüşüm sürecinden etkilenen kurumlar olmakla birlikte, bu değişim ve dönüşümü ortaya çıkaran kaynaklar arasında yer almaktadır. Ayrıca üniversiteler, bu değişimin sürekliliği gereği, daima kurumsal ve toplumsal değer yaratacak yenilikleri, bir başka ifadeyle inovasyonu hedeflemesi gereken kurumlardır. Örgütlerin hedefleri ile geleceğe yönelik öngörüleri ise, misyon ve vizyon bildirimleri aracılığıyla açıklanır. Örgütün tepe yönetimi tarafından belirlenen misyon ve vizyon, örgüt çalışanlarına yol gösterme ve örgütsel hedefleri benimsetme fonksiyonunu yerine getirir. Dolayısıyla örgütlerin tüm kaynaklarını örgütsel hedefler doğrultusunda kullanabilmesi için, etkili misyon ve vizyon bildirimleri bir gerekliliktir. Bu açıdan değerlendirildiğinde, üniversitelerin misyon ve vizyon bildirimlerinin, inovasyona ilişkin ifadeler içermesi beklenir. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, Marmara Bölgesinde faaliyet gösteren devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinin İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler, Siyasal Bilgiler, Sosyal Bilimler, Yönetim Bilimleri, İktisat, İşletme, İşletme ve Yönetim Bilimleri Fakülteleri ile İktisadi, İdari ve Sosyal Bilimler Fakültelerinin misyon ve vizyon bildirimlerinin inovasyon kavramı çerçevesinde karşılaştırmalı olarak analizidir.
ANÁLISE PREDITIVA DE CASOS CONFIRMADOS DE COVID-19 NO BRASIL E EM OITO PAÍSES BASEADA NO MODELO NÃO LINEAR DE GOMPERTZ
Authors: Barros Kaio Diego das Neves
Published: May 2020

Este estudo objetivou avaliar o avanço casos confirmados de Covid-19 no Brasil e em oito países (Áustria, China, Alemanha, Itália, Nova Zelândia Espanha, Reino Unido e Estados Unidos) através do modelo não linear de Gompertz. Os dados foram obtidos em relatórios oficias da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e foram submetidos à análise iterativa pelo método dos quadrados mínimos para estimação dos parâmetros ,  e  através de procedimento NLIN (SAS versão 9.4). A aceleração absoluta foi obtida pelo log de base  dos dados observados e a aceleração por dia pela derivada de terceira ordem do modelo preditivo. O coeficiente de correlação (R2) foi calculado por meio do procedimento CORR (SAS versão 9.4), assim como a correlação das assíntotas com a extensão da quarentena (dias) e com a densidade populacional de cada país. No momento, o modelo preditivo sugere que o Brasil está em curva ascendente de casos com tendência a alcançar 2.226.429 pessoas no total (R2=0,9984). A aceleração absoluta evidenciou aumento e a aceleração por dia demonstrou que apenas o Brasil está em movimento acelerado de casos e a tendência é que passe a diminuir somente a partir de 04/julho. As correlações sugerem que a eficácia da quarentena não está relacionada à sua extensão (dias), já que países com maior densidade populacional apresentaram diminuição de casos em menor tempo de restrição.

Cleavage of the Fusion Protein (TEV Protease) v1
Authors: England Biolabs New
Published: May 2020

TEV Protease, also known as Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) Protease, is a highly specific cysteine protease that recognizes the amino-acid sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-(Gly/Ser) and cleaves between the Gln and Gly/Ser residues. It is often used for the removal of affinity purification tags such as maltose-binding protein (MBP) or poly-histidine from fusion proteins. TEV Protease has a 7xHis-tag for easy removal from a reaction using nickel affinity resins and has been engineered to improve thermal stability and decrease autolysis.
Separating the Protein of Interest from MBP after TEV Protease Cleavage (NEB #E8201) v1
Authors: England Biolabs New
Published: May 2020

Both the MBP-tag and TEV Protease are polyhistidine-tagged for easy removal from the TEV Protease reaction. Loading the digest onto NEBExpress Ni Resin (NEB #S1428) sequesters both the MBP-tag and TEV Protease, thereby isolating the protein of interest in the column flow through. The binding capacity of NEBExpress Ni Resin is ≥ 10 mg/ml. The binding capacity will vary depending on the target protein, binding conditions and the accessibility of the His-tag. It is recommended to estimate the amount of the His-tagged MBP released by TEV Protease cleavage by first analyzing a sample by SDS-PAGE and comparing its band size and intensity to that of the provided MBP6 protein control.
