Abstract: A polysaccharide-protein binding model of SBD, and a fibril-forming 14-residue peptide consisting of X1NNNX2X3NYQX4X5X6X7X8, wherein the X1 and X8 mean a pair of opposite charged amino acid residues, and the X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7 means an amino acid residue is described. A mixture for diminising a polysaccharide, comprising at least two starch binding domains (SBDs) and a polysaccharide in a helix form is also presented. A method of providing an oligosaccharide, and a method of producing an amyloid-like fibril and use thereof are further described.

Abstract: A recombinant protein is prepared comprising a polypeptide of interest and a starch binding domain (SBD). The said SBD is obtainable from glucoamylase of fungi genus Rhizopus. The said recombinant protein comprising the said SBD can be purified by contacting with an affinity matrix such as starch, the SBD binds to the affinity matrix to isolate the recombinant protein. The recombinant protein can be purified by separating the association between the SBD and the affinity matrix by acid, alkaline, salt, or sugar. The polypeptide of interest may be an antibody, an antigen, a therapeutic compound, an enzyme, or a protein and may apply in pathogen destruction, vaccine producing, and oral care product manufacturing. The SBD further provides as a tool to screen or identify polysacchrides.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a system for protein purification using a starch binding protein (SBP)-tagged recombinant protein. SBP-binding matrixes are also disclosed in the invention to recover the SBP-tagged recombinant protein. Thus, purifying a target protein is re-usable, convenient and low cost by the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody mimetic of carbohydrate binding module (CBM) which specifically binds to an epitope on HIV glycoprotein. The present invention also relates to a method of detecting HIV glycoprotein.
