چکیده

The irreversible thermal inactivation and the thermodynamics of calcium ion binding of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase in the absence of substrates were studied. The enzyme inactivation on heating was apparently followed by first-order kinetics. The enzyme was stabilized with an increased concentration of calcium ion and thus the inactivation was highly dependent on the state of calcium binding. The activation parameter for the inactivation suggests an unfolding of the enzyme protein upon heating. Values of both the activation enthalpy and entropy were increased with a higher calcium ion concentration. An inactivation kinetic model is based on the assumption of a two-stage unfolding transition in which the bivalent ion dissociation occurs in the first step followed by the secondary structural unfolding. This simple kinetic model provides both a qualitative and quantitative interpretation of calcium ion binding to the enzyme and its effect on the inactivation properties. The specific approximations of the kinetic model were strictly followed in the analysis to calculate the apparent inactivation rate at each calcium ion concentration in terms of the calcium-binding parameters. The enthalpy and entropy changes for the calcium ion binding were calculated to be -149 kJ/mol and -360 J.mol(-1).K(-1) respectively and these values suggest a strong enthalpic affinity for the bivalent ion binding to the enzyme protein. The thermodynamical interpretation attempts to provide clear relations between the terms of an apparent inactivation rate and the calcium binding.

Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens Alpha-amylase Inhibition by Organic Solvents: A Study on Methanol, Ethanol and Propanol

Alpha-amylase is widely used as an industrial enzyme, and a therapeutic target for which inhibitors are designed. Organic solvents are used to dissolve various compounds that would be studied as moderators of alpha-amylases, but they could themselves affect enzyme activity and stability. Methanol, ethanol and propanol are simple alcohols that may be commonly used to this end, and their effect h...

A statistical approach for the production of thermostable and alklophilic alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KCP2 under solid-state fermentation

The bacterial strain producing thermostable, alklophilic alpha-amylase was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KCP2 using 16S rDNA gene sequencing data (NCBI Accession No: KF112071). Medium components were optimized through the statistical approach for the synthesis of alpha-amylase by the organism under solid-state fermentation using wheat bran as the substrate. The medium components infl...

Comparison of the alpha-amylase of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

The alpha-amylase (alpha-1,4-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) of Bacillus subtilis strain W23 is less negatively-charged than the alpha-amylase of B. amyloliquefaciens strain F, as determined by electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gel at pH 8.6. The alpha-amylase of strain W23 is immunologically unrelated to the alpha-amylase of strain F, as judged by lack of cross-reaction in Ouch...

Effect of calcium ions on the irreversible denaturation of a recombinant Bacillus halmapalus alpha-amylase: a calorimetric investigation.

The effect of temperature and calcium ions on the denaturation of a recombinant alpha-amylase from Bacillus halmapalus alpha-amylase (BHA) has been studied using calorimetry. It was found that thermal inactivation of BHA is irreversible and that calcium ions have a significant effect on stability. Thus an apparent denaturation temperature ( T (d)) of 83 degrees C in the presence of excess calci...
