A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic method has been developed for the qualitative assay of amoxycillin and its degradation products and clavulanic acid. Together with amoxycillin the latter acid is an important constituent in the antibiotic Augmentin. The analytical procedure is fast and analytes can be identified both from their migration times and from changes in migration time observed either at different pH values or in electropherograms run in H2O and D2O based buffers of the same acidity.

The YUH1 gene coding for ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 1, a deubiquitinating enzyme, was cloned from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic DNA and expressed in Escherichia coli. YUH1 was fused with the 6 histidine tag at the N-terminus (H6YUH1) or C-terminus (YUH1H6) and purified by an immobilized metal affinity chromatography with high purity. By using a fluorogenic substrate, Z-Arg-Leu-Arg-Gly-Gly-AMC, the deubiquitinating activities for H6YUH1 (1.72U/mg) and YUH1H6 (1.61U/mg) were about 18 times higher than 0.092U/mg for H6UBP1, ubiquitin specific protease 1 of S. cerevisiae containing the 6 histidine residue at the N-terminus which is normally used in protein engineering. YUH1 had the optimal temperature of 27 degrees C and acidity of pH 8.5. Analysis of thermal deactivation kinetics of H6YUH1 estimated 3.2 and 1.4h of half lives at 4 and 52 degrees C, respectively. Immobilization onto the Ni-NTA affinity resin and environmental modulation were carried out to improve the stability of YUH1. Incubation of the immobilized YUH1 in 50% glycerol solution at -20 degrees C resulted in 52% of decrease in specific activity for 7days, corresponding to a 2.7-fold increase compared with that of the free YUH1 incubated in the same solution at 4 degrees C.
