A control protein (single-domain antibody) incubated with the GI fluid (37°C, 2 h), trypsin or chymotrypsin (37°C, 1 h) showed complete digestion (data not shown). <b>D</b>, All reaction samples, including controls (no proteases) were subjected to a purification step with PureProteome™ Nickel Magnetic Beads prior to their analysis by SDS-PAGE (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0013904#s4" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>). Digestion reactions were carried out for 0 and 60 min. The positions of the molecular weight markers are indicated on the left of the panel D figures.</p> 2010-11-22 01:52:43 microbiology infectious diseases/bacterial infections public health and epidemiology/infectious diseases
