Calorimetric Study of Thermal Denaturation of (3-Lactoglobulin
Effects of pH and milk constituents (milk ultrafiltrate and ~:-casein) on denaturation of fl-lactoglobulin were investigated by a dynamic method based on differential scanning calorimetry. The apparent reaction order of /Ltactoglobulin denaturation by the dynamic method was 2.0 over the pH range of 4.0 to 9.0, which is in fair agreement with results by other investigators using more classical m...
متن کاملHeat capacity in proteins.
Heat capacity (Cp) is one of several major thermodynamic quantities commonly measured in proteins. With more than half a dozen definitions, it is the hardest of these quantities to understand in physical terms, but the richest in insight. There are many ramifications of observed Cp changes: The sign distinguishes apolar from polar solvation. It imparts a temperature (T) dependence to entropy an...
متن کاملNature of Heat Denaturation of Proteins
Chick and Martin (1) have shown that the heat coagulation of proteins consists of two distinct processes; tiiz., (a) denaturation, the alteration of the protein under the influence of heat, and (b) agglutination, the separation of the altered protein in a particulate form. Agglutination, in which hydrogen ion concentration and electrolyte contents play important roles (2), is now a fairly well ...
متن کاملThermal Denaturation Equilibria of Tmv Coat Proteins
Thermal denaturation of RNA free coat proteins of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was studied for wildtype TMV (vulgare) and the temperature-sensitive mutant, Ni 118. The ability to form soluble aggregates as well as the optical properties (ORD, UV-difference spectra), and the sedimen tation behavior were used as criteria for the native state. At pH 7.5 , 7 = 0 .0 2 denaturation is reversible for b...
متن کاملFinite size effects on thermal denaturation of globular proteins.
Finite size effects on the cooperative thermal denaturation of proteins are considered. A dimensionless measure of cooperativity, Omegac, scales as Nzeta, where N is the number of amino acids. Surprisingly, we find that zeta is universal with zeta=1+gamma, where the exponent gamma characterizes the divergence of the susceptibility for a self-avoiding walk. Our lattice model simulations and expe...
