Abstract: A method of processing a transaction includes receiving a site location code. Site configuration information corresponding to the received site location code is received from a database. That information includes more product record(s), each corresponding to a reservable product or a non-reservable product. A selection of one or more of the product records in the retrieved information is received. If any selected product record corresponds to a reservable product, a reservation command is produced. That command requests reservation of selected reservable product(s). A method of selecting a product includes receiving a location input and determining a site location code with it. The site location code is transmitted and one or more product records are received. Representations of one or more of the received product records are presented and a selection of products is received. An indication of the selection is transmitted.

Abstract: Proteases are susceptible to autolytic degradation. The method of the invention provides a method to identify susceptible autolysis sites which are cleaved to produce a few discrete fragments. Once identified, amino acid(s) at or in the vicinity of the cleavage site may be chemically modified or the DNA sequence capable of encoding the amino acid present at the site may be changed or deleted by site directed mutagenesis to produce an autolysis stable protease. The invention is particularly applicable to alkaline proteases which are produced in large quantities and used as detergent additives. Stable alkaline proteases could then be used in liquid detergent formulations.

Abstract: A method for the purification of a culture filtrate resulting from the fermentation of an organism of the species Mucor miehei involves the selective adsorption of the microbial rennet present in the culture filtrate by a blue dye affinity ligand with subsequent elution of the adsorbed microbial rennet to provide it in a purified form.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the purification of calf rennet which involves contacting the rennet with an affinity ligand, e.g. Cibacron Blue, to cause separation of the chymosin and pepsin contained in the rennet.
