- ItemOpen AccessCloning, expression, purification and drug targeting of Plasmodium falciparum hypoxanthine guanine xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRT)(2005) Mbewe, Boniface; Mcintosh, David B; Chibale, KellyThe research concerns sub-cloning the gene for HGXPRT from Plasmodium falciparum from a vector with a His-tag facility to one without, expression of the protein in E. coli, and purification. On an analytical scale (40 ml culture), a purification procedure was developed that involves extraction of contaminating proteins by anion exchange chromatography (HGXPRT does not bind under the conditions used), followed by Reactive Red 120 agarose affinity chromatography.
