Time-dependent inhibition of porcine kidney trehalase by aminosugars.

abstract：:An efficient method is presented for the production of intact mammalian prion proteins and partial sequences thereof. As an illustration we describe the production of polypeptides comprising residues 23-231, 81-231, 90-231 and 121-231 of the human prion protein (hPrP). Polypeptides were expressed as histidine tail fus...
