Denaturing action of urea and guanidine hydrochloride towards two thermophilic esterases.
The stability of two thermophilic esterases, AFEST from Archaeoglobus fulgidus and EST2 from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius, against the denaturing action of urea and guanidine hydrochloride has been investigated by means of steady-state fluorescence and circular dichroism measurements. Experimental results indicate that the two enzymes, even though very resistant to temperature and urea, show...
متن کاملProbing Conformational Stability and Dynamics of Erythroid and Nonerythroid Spectrin: Effects of Urea and Guanidine Hydrochloride
We have studied the conformational stability of the two homologous membrane skeletal proteins, the erythroid and non-erythroid spectrins, in their dimeric and tetrameric forms respectively during unfolding in the presence of urea and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). Fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy have been used to study the changes of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, an...
متن کاملViscosity and density of aqueous solutions of urea and guanidine hydrochloride.
Densities and viscosities of aqueous solutions of urea and guanidine hydrochloride at 250 have been measured, and equations are presented which describe their variation with concentration. Densities and viscosities of similar solutions containing additional solutes (buffers, NaCI, -mercaptoethanol) have been measured, and the possibility of predicting these results from information on solutions...
متن کاملThe effect of urea and guanidine hydrochloride on activity and optical rotation of crystalline papain.
The catalytic activity of several proteolytic enzymes is altered by high concentrations of urea and guanidine salts (2-4). These studies, in conjunction with certain physical data, indicate that hydrogen bonding in the secondary structure of these enzymes is essential for maintenance of their catalytic function. Because of the increasing amount of information that is available concerning the st...
متن کاملThe effect of urea and guanidine hydrochloride on activity and optical rotation of penicillinase.
The penicillinase of Bacillus cereus exists as an exoenzyme, called cw-penicillinase, and as an immunologically distinct cellbound enzyme, designated as y-penicillinase (1). Properties such as substrate specificity, Michaelis constant, and sedimentation rate were found to be practically identical, and the only other ways in which the cell-bound y-penicillinase differed from LYpenicillinase were...
