Refolding effects of partially immiscible ammonium-based ionic liquids on the urea-induced unfolded lysozyme structure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activity of lysozyme over a Micrococcus lysodeikticus cell suspension increased to 13% of the initial value in the presence of 1% v/v ammonium-based ionic liquids after deactivation with 4.0 M urea. This increase in activity reflects the refolding ability of the ionic liquids against the denaturation effects of urea on lysozyme.

Role of ionic liquids in protein refolding: native/fibrillar versus treated lysozyme
Several ionic liquids (ILs) are known to revert aggregation processes and improve the in vitro refolding of denatured proteins. In this paper the capacity of a particular class of ammonium based ILs to act as refolding enhancers was tested using lysozyme as a model protein. Raman spectra of ILs treated fibrillar lysozyme as well as lysozyme in its native and fibrillar conformations were collect...
متن کاملEffect of L-Arginine Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles (RMNPs) on Lysozyme in the Presence or Absence of Urea
L-Arginine (Arg or R) is a non-toxigenic, metabolically versatile and conditionally essential amino acid. Single-pot synthesis of Arg modified magnetic nanoparticles (RMNPs) was achieved using magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and binary function of Arg as a functional group and an alkali precipitator. This modification is supposed to offer several advantages to the MNPs from a bio-application vie...
متن کاملActivity and stability of α-chymotrypsin in biocompatible ionic liquids: enzyme refolding by triethyl ammonium acetate.
In view the of wide scope of structural information of biomolecules in biocompatible ionic liquids (ILs) in various applications including chemical and biochemical, it is essential to study the productive preferential interactions between biological macromolecules and biocompatible ILs. We have therefore explored the stability and activity of α-chymotrypsin (CT) in the presence of five ILs from...
متن کاملAre there equilibrium intermediate states in the urea-induced unfolding of hen egg-white lysozyme?
Protein folding intermediates that are sometimes populated at equilibrium under mild denaturing conditions have attracted much attention as plausible models for the kinetic intermediates transiently populated in the refolding kinetic pathways. Hen egg-white lysozyme is often considered as a typical example of close adherence to the equilibrium, two-state unfolding mechanism. However, recent sma...
متن کاملWater and a protic ionic liquid acted as refolding additives for chemically denatured enzymes.
In this communication, we present the ability of water and a protic ionic liquid, triethyl ammonium phosphate (TEAP) to act as refolding additives for the urea-induced chemical denaturated state of the two enzymes, α-chymotrypsin and succinylated Con A. We show that the enzymatic activity is regained and in certain circumstances enhanced.
