Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying a recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or recombinant FSH variant. The method comprises the steps of subjecting a liquid containing a recombinant FSH or recombinant FSH variant to an anion exchange chromatography, to a hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and to a dye affinity chromatography, wherein these chromatographies may be performed in any order, and wherein the method neither comprises a weak anion exchange chromatography nor a reverse phase chromatography. The method of purification results in a high yield of recombinant FSH having a desired degree of purity. The obtained FSH is especially useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of disorders and medical indications where FSH preparations are considered as useful remedies.

Abstract: Particular aspects provide novel methods for redirecting carbon allocation in plants or cell culture from lignification to inherently more useful and tractable materials, and to facilitate the generation of, e.g., biofuels from the remaining plant ro culture biomass. Particular aspects provided novel methods for converting monolignols into allyl/propenyl phenols, and for chavicol/eugenol formation or production. Additional aspects relate to the discovery of novel chavicol/eugenol synthases that convert p-coumaryl/coniferyl alcohol esters into chavicol/eugenol, and to novel compositions (e.g., novel proteins and nucleic acids encoding same), and novel methods using same for producing or forming chavicol/eugenol and other derivatives in cell culture and/or genetically modified plants, and for re-engineering the composition of plant biomass.
