The different molecular weight column effluent fractions were chemically analyzed for their total carbohydrate, sulfate, protein, and monosaccharide content. Finally, antioxidant and antitumor activities of the fractions were evaluated in order to determine the effect of molecular weight and composition on these activities. It is interesting to note that the peak eluted Buffer B (200A), observed using the citrate buffer (Figure 1b), was almost absent in this purification.

7.3. Determination of FVIII, Protein C, FIX and Prothrombin

F5 showed better antitumor performance than S1 probably due to its lower DP, as previous studies showed that antitumor activity is enhanced with lower molecular weights 18,39. In addition, F5 comprises a thiocarbonyl group while S1 possesses an ester sulfate group instead 38. Most importantly, the superior activity of F5 relative to other fractions could be ascribed to a feature that is characteristic only of this fraction. This feature is having comparable contents of proteins, sulfates, and carbohydrates, in addition to having comparable contents of rhamnose and glucuronic acid, and the same for glucose and arabinose.

5. Purification on Fractogel EMD DEAE–Ca2+ 5 mM to 50 mM Linear Gradient

The column (Whatman International Ltd., Maidstone, UK) was packed with 50 g of DEAE cellulose suspended in 0.1 M of 98% ammonium acetate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) buffer (pH 5.6). Before sample application, the column was first equilibrated with 3 column volumes of acetate buffer. Then, 1 μg/L of V45 was prepared in the same buffer, filtered, then added to the column. Afterwards, the column was eluted at a flow rate of 2.5 mL/min with 100 mL of ammonium carbonate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in a gradient manner from 0 to 1 M (0 M, 0.1 M, 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, 1 M) in addition to a final saturated solution. All fractions were dried and used for further chemical and biological investigations. Further investigations were performed on the fractions that showed 75% lethality or more.

Other influencing factors could be its relatively low DP, as well as its possession of a variety of sugar units and functional groups. A linear 5 mM to 100 mM Ca2+ gradient was carried out after the intermediate wash with Buffer B (citrate 25 mM, NaCl 200 mM, CaCl2 5 mM, pH 6.0). The chromatogram of the purification (Figure 1a) shows that two peaks eluted with the increase of Ca2+ and no peak was observed when NaCl was increased to 500 mM, using Buffer C (citrate 25 mM, NaCl 500 mM, CaCl2 5 mM, pH 6.0). The activity profile shown in Figure 2a indicates that FIX eluted first, between F3 and F6 fractions, that is, between, 5.4 and 17.9 mM CaCl2, while FVIII eluted from F6 to F13, that is, between 17.9 and 63.6 mM CaCl2.

4.1. DEAE Sepharose FF Chromatography without Ca2+ Gradient

The results presented in this work showed that the proposed purification method could be successfully applied to all five resins tested, provided that the CaCl2 and NaCl concentrations in citrate buffer are carefully determined. This paper describes a novel combined post-extraction process for obtaining bioactive compounds from the aqueous high molecular weight sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) extracts of the green algae, Ulva lactuca. After extracting the SPs, they were enzymatically hydrolyzed then the hydrolysate (V45) was fractionated into eight different molecular weight fractions (F1–F8) using ion exchange chromatography. Crude SPs together with V45 and (F1–F8) were examined for their carbohydrate, protein, and sulfate contents. In addition, their degree of polymerization (DP) was estimated and they were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).

1. The KαL 1 /KαL 0 intensity ratio of fluorine is measured in five fluorine compounds with a crystal spectrometer.
2. Compared with the citrate buffer, using Bis-tris and MES buffers, the same 200A peak was not observed (Figure 1c,f,g), and separation of FVIII and FIX was not successful, because 20 to 30% of PCC (FIX) did not elute with CaCl2 25 mM (Figure 2c,f,g).
3. PCC (FIX) and FVIII have more affinity to ANX Sepharose FF resin than Q Sepharose FF.
4. The highest Hill coefficient of F5 relative to the other promising fractions indicates a higher degree of cooperativity in ligand binding.
5. The chromatogram of the purification with calcium gradient step with CaCl2 10 mM and 25 mM is shown in Figure 4c.
6. Where X is log of concentration of treatment, Y is % Lethality, Top is Top plateau of regression curve in units of Y axis, Bottom is Bottom plateau of regression curve in units of Y-axis, and F is 90.

This study should also be beneficial for further follow-up studies on structure–activity relationships or structure determination. inf8 exchange Building on this study, future work should focus on investigating the specific bioactives through chemical profiling and probably further purifying only the active fractions that have the overall characteristics identified in this work. Chemical analysis and evaluation of the biological activities of these fractions will, thus, be employed to study this effect. The yield and the purification factor of FVIII in each experiment are shown in Table 1. In the purification of plasma on ANX Sepharose FF without the CaCl2 gradient step, the FVIII recovered activity in fraction “500” described by Verinaud et al. 16 was 69 ± 18. On the other hand, the purification factors obtained in this work, regardless the resin used, were much higher than those described in the work of Verinaud et al. 16 (110 ± 11).

8. Stepwise CaCl2 Gradient in the Purification on ANX Sepharose

FVIII was recovered in the NaCl 500 mM fraction (Figure 2f) with 67% yield and purification factor of 211 (Table 1). On the other hand, FIX activity was observed in all fractions of the calcium gradient, and in the NaCl 500 mM fraction (26%) along with FVIII (Figure 2f). Since FIX eluted very well on Q Sepharose FF using CaCl2 15 mM, in this experiment a linear calcium gradient was carried out from 5 to 25 mM.

Columns were equilibrated with five column volumes (CV) of Buffer A (25 mM sodium citrate, 85 mM NaCl and 5 mM CaCl2, pH 6.0). Five CV of the pool of FFP were applied to the columns and the unbound proteins were washed with 10 CV of Buffer A. The fraction containing the unbound proteins was called flow through (FT). After the wash of the unbound proteins, the procedure followed in each experiment is described in the corresponding item.

1. All fractions together with S1 and V45 and apart from (F3–F7) contain sulfoxide groups.
2. FIX desorbed between F6 and F9, that is, 10.3 mM and 16.7 mM CaCl2, before prothrombin, which desorbed from the column between F7 and F13, that is, between 11.9 mM and 21.4 mM CaCl2, respectively.
3. The implications of this work could potentially benefit the industries of food supplements and pharmaceuticals.
4. The open source reference implementation of CryptoNote was coded from scratch based on the CryptoNote reference implementation, and is not a fork of Bitcoin. Infinium-8 aims to be a fungible and untraceable digital medium of exchange.

First, S1 was dissolved in sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.6) where 0.25 g of which were dissolved in 10 mL buffer. A volume of 225 µL of the enzyme was added to S1, then left in a rotating shaker at 37 °C and 50 rpm for 45 min. The product (V45) was frozen for 30 minutes to deactivate the enzyme, then centrifuged to collect the supernatant, which was dried.

However, there is no direct correlation between the antioxidant activity of the tested fractions and their protein content and this is because there are other functional groups that could be involved in the antioxidation reaction such as OH groups. The chromatograms shown in Figure 1 are very similar and simple, but the elution profile of FVIII and FIX, and therefore PCC, differ significantly. We tested two strong anion exchange resins (Q Sepharose FF and Fractogel EMD TMAE) and three weak anion exchange resins (ANX and DEAE Sepharose FF, Fractogel EMD DEAE). The matrix of Sepharose resins is agarose and the matrix of the Fractogel resins is metacrylate. No general protocol could be established based on the strength of the anion exchanger nor the chemical nature of the matrix.

The purification factors were calculated as the ratio of the specific activity of the elution fraction by the specific activity of the loaded sample.
