Fig 2. Prokaryotic hPPO expression, purification, and enzymatic activity.
A; Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE of hPPO variants purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Position of constructs marked by arrows. B; Substrate conversion rates of E.coli-expressed hPPO variants using protoporphyrinogen IX as a substrate (N.D., not determined). C; Specific activity of hPPO in the presence of various detergents estimated via conversion of protoporphyrinogen IX.
