PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF COBRA POISON PROTEASES SIMILAR TO TROMBIN

摘要

A process for purifying thrombin-like proteases from snake venoms is described, which consists in freeing the proteases from impurities in three chromatographic steps: a) affinity or anion exchange, b) adsorption onto a glass matrix at alkaline pH values, and c) size exclusion gel or glass matrix at acidic pH values.
