Preparative reversed-phase HPLC is the established method for the purification of peptides, but has significant limitations. We systematically investigated the use of high-performance reversed-phase flash chromatography (HPFC) to rapidly purify laboratory-scale quantities of crude, synthetic peptides and chemically modified insulins. We demonstrated these methods for a diverse set of peptides, including short, medium, and long peptides. Depending on the purity profile of the peptide, HPFC can be used either as the sole purification method, or as a pre-purification method prior to final HPLC purification. Furthermore, HPFC is suitable for the purification of peptides that are not fully in solution. We provide guidelines for the HPFC of synthetic peptides and small proteins, including the choice of columns, eluents, and gradients. We believe that HPFC is a valuable alternative to HPLC purification of peptides and small proteins.

Pneumocandin B (PB) is a lipohexapeptide synthesized by and serves as the precursor for the widely used antifungal drug caspofungin acetate (Cancidas®). However, the low titer of PB results in fermentation and purification costs during caspofungin production, limiting its widespread clinical application. Here, we engineered an efficient PB-producing strain of by systems metabolic engineering strategies, including multi-omics analysis and multilevel metabolic engineering.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is an important target enzyme for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Increasing researchers try to screen DPP-IV inhibitory peptides while the cost of DPP-IV is high. In this study, PkDPP-IV was efficiently purified by acid precipitation, ammonium sulfate salting out and gel filtration chromatography with a purification of 283.

Pseudorabies virus (Pseudorabiesvirus, PRV) has caused huge economic losses to the global pig industry. In recent years, it has been reported that there are PRV mutants, but the traditional vaccine can not completely prevent or control the infection of PRV, so there is an urgent need to develop new broad-spectrum anti-disease drugs for prevention and treatment. PNGase F from bacteria can catalyze the hydrolysis of oligosaccharides linked to asparagine residues on peptides, so we speculate that PNGase F can inhibit virus infection by removing the glycosylation of virus membrane glycoproteins.

During a survey of the genus Trichoderma in the Brazilian ecosystem Restinga, 22 strains related to Trichoderma spirale were found on the basis of identities of tef1, the molecular marker used to discriminate species of this genus. Trichoderma spirale was described in 1991 and since then four species related to it were described and later on added to the clade Spirale. Searches for tef1 sequences assigned to T.

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.
