Fig. 6From: Biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of purified Latex Clearing Protein (Lcp) from newly isolated rubber degrading Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain RPK1 reveals novel properties of LcpUVvis spectrum of LcpRr and LcpK30 as isolated (black lines) and after reduction with dithionite (grey lines). Both Lcp proteins show a prominent band at 407 (412 nm in case of LcpK30) that is characteristic for porphyrines. After reduction with dithionite a characteristic shift of the α-band to 428 (430) nm as well as an increase in the Q-band region (560/562 nm) was observable. Assays were repeated at least three times with two separate protein batches. A typical experiment is shownBack to article page
