Ethidium Bromide stained agarose gel electrophoresis showing the double digestion analysis of recombinant pET21a harboring β-lactamase gene from Bacillus subtilis R5. Lane 1 shows ladder 1 kb Plus (Invitrogen) while lane 2 shows the restriction digestion of recombinant pTZ57R/T with Nde1 and HindIII.
Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 stained SDS-PAGE gel demonstrating expression of β-lactamse gene with respect to increasing concentration of IPTG; Lane 1: Pre-stained Protein Ladder (Thermo Fisher Scientific); Lane 2: BL21 CodonPlus Cells transformed with pET21a without insert as control; Lane 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 shows the transformed BL21 CodonPlus (DE3) cells having recombinant pET21a induced with 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1mM concentration of IPTG, respectively.
Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 stained SDS-PAGE gel demonstrates the purity and molecular weight analysis of β-LACBS. Lane 1 is Pre-stained Protein Ladder (PageRuler™, Thermo Fisher Scientific); Lane 2 is purified β-LACBS.
Effect of temperature on LACBS activity. X-axis shows the temperature (OC) while Y-axis shows the LACBS activity (%). Enzyme activity was examined in 50mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7) and 5μM Benzylpenicillin as substrate.
Effect of pH on LACBS activity. X-axis shows the pH while Y-axis shows the LACBS activity (%). Enzyme activity was examined in 50 mM of each of sodium acetate buffer (pH 3-5), Sodium phosphate buffer (5-7), Tris-HCl buffer (7-9) and Glycine/NaOH buffer (9-10) using benzylpenicillin (5μM) as a substrate.
Lineweaver-Burk plot for the estimation of kinetic parameters. X-axis shows 1/substrate concentration whereas Y-axis shows 1/enzyme velocity.
