Thermal, Chemical and pH Induced Unfolding of Turmeric Root Lectin: Modes of Denaturation
Curcuma longa rhizome lectin, of non-seed origin having antifungal, antibacterial and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, forms a homodimer with high thermal stability as well as acid tolerance. Size exclusion chromatography and dynamic light scattering show it to be a dimer at pH 7, but it converts to a monomer near pH 2. Circular dichroism spectra and fluorescence emission maxima are virtual...
متن کاملThermal, Chemical and pH Induced Denaturation of a Multimeric β-Galactosidase Reveals Multiple Unfolding Pathways
BACKGROUND In this case study, we analysed the properties of unfolded states and pathways leading to complete denaturation of a multimeric chick pea β-galactosidase (CpGAL), as obtained from treatment with guanidium hydrochloride, urea, elevated temperature and extreme pH. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS CpGAL, a heterodimeric protein with native molecular mass of 85 kDa, belongs to α+β class ...
متن کاملThe thermal stability of the Fusarium solani pisi cutinase as a function of pH
We have investigated the thermal stability of the Fusarium solani pisi cutinase as a function of pH, in the range from pH 2-12. Its highest enzymatic activity coincides with the pH-range at which it displays its highest thermal stability. The unfolding of the enzyme as a function of pH was investigated by microcalorimetry. The ratio between the calorimetric enthalpy (DeltaH(cal)) and the van't ...
متن کاملDifferential scanning calorimetric and spectroscopic studies on the unfolding of Momordica charantia lectin. Similar modes of thermal and chemical denaturation.
Thermal stability of Momordica charantia seed lectin (MCL) was investigated as a function of protein concentration, pH, scan rate, and at different ligand concentrations by using high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC endotherm obtained at pH 7.4 consists of two entities with transition temperatures at ca. 333.7 K, and 338 K. The unfolding process is irreversible and ...
متن کاملFusarium solani breast abscess.
An unusual manifestation of breast fusariosis was encountered in a 55-year-old female diabetic patient. Two fine needle aspirates (FNA) from the abscess were done at three days interval and they showed hyaline, septate, branched, fungal hyphae in 10% potassium hydroxide mount. Fungal infection was confirmed by demonstrating the fungal hyphae in the midst of lymphocytes, macrophages and neutroph...
