Fraction E1 through E6 were chosen to be run on an SDS-PAGE gel because they contained the highest amounts of protein. After running for an hour on 100-150 mV, the gel was stained and destained. The bands appeared around 30 kDa and fractions E2-E6 were pure. | Fraction E1 through E6 were chosen to be run on an SDS-PAGE gel because they contained the highest amounts of protein.

The ligand used for testing was p-nitrophenyl aldehyde in pH's of 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. In each cuvette, 5 µL of protein, 50 µL of ligand, and 1.5 mL buffer (varying pH) were added. Absorbance was measured at 405 nm for 30 min, taking a reading every minute until 20 minutes, then every 20 seconds. | The ligand used for testing was p-nitrophenyl aldehyde (PNPA) in pH's of 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. In each cuvette, 5 µL of protein, 50 µL of ligand, and 1.5 mL buffer (varying pH) were added. Absorbance was measured at 405 nm for 30 min, taking a reading every minute until 20 minutes, then every 20 seconds. After doing 2 repetitions of pH 8, one of 7, and one of 5, it was determined that the protein had crashed out of solution and was not reacting with the PNPA. | ||
