Preparation and Kinetic Properties of a New Form of Chymotrypsin Which Is Active at Alkaline pH

چکیده
The preparation of a new stable and active form of chymotrypsin is described. The enzyme possesses threonine-147 instead of alanineas the NH&erminal group of the C chain and has been called ai-chymotrypsin. The conformational transition that affects chymotrypsins at alkaline pH was investigated and compared with that of 01and &chymotrypsins by studying the kinetic constants and their pH dependencies for the hydrolysis of various specific ester substrates. The keal values obtained with LYEchymotrypsin are similar to those of o(and 6-chymotrypsins. The K, values showed a progressive increase toward the alkaline pH region. The shape of the K,-pH profiles closely resemble those of &chym.otrypsin and differ considerably from the behavior of cr-chymotrypsin. The results strongly implicate the participation of the alanineamino group in the reversible inactivation of oc-chymotrypsin at high pH.

Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) containing m-flurotyrosine has been prepared from E. coli grown in the presence of m-flurotyrosine. The kinetic properties of the m-fluorotyrosine enzyme measured with p-nitrophenylphosphate at pH 8.0 and dinitrophenylphosphate at pH 5.5 are essentially the same as those of normal alkaline phosphatase. However, the ability of the m-fluorotyrosine protein to ref...

In order to better understand how to prevent enzymatic greenning, it is important to understand kinetic properties of polyphenol oxidase. we investigated the effect of SDS on the rate of catechol oxidation by small cherry tomato partial purified PPO. PPO activity increased with increasing SDS concentration. The most effective concentration of SDS was 0.8, 1 and 1.25 mM in according to pH and ...
