REASSOCIATION AND REACTIVATION OF GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM STREPTOMYCES AUREOFACIENS AFTER DENATURATION BY 6 M UREA
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) from Streptomyces aureofaciens was purified and denatured in 6 M urea. Denaturation led to complete dissociation of the enzyme into its inactive monomers, 98% loss of the enzyme activity, about 30% decrease in the protein fluorescence and a 10 nm red shift in the emission maximum. Dilution of urea-denatured enzyme resulted in regaining of the enzyme acti...
متن کاملThe Temperature Coefficient of the Urea Denaturation of Egg Albumin
Evidence is brought forward to show that at concentrations of urea high enough to split the egg albumin molecule the solubility changes produced by urea are profoundly modified. The degree of precipitation after dialysis is the net result of two changes produced by the urea: the first, normally spoken of as denaturation, which makes the protein insoluble in dilute solution and the second, a spl...
متن کاملDenaturation Changes in Egg Albumin with Urea, Radiation, and Heat
The extent of urea denaturation depends on the concentration of protein and urea and also on the temperature of the solution. Egg albumin solutions (0.9 per cent) are not denatured by 20 per cent urea, denature slowly with 25 per cent urea, and denature rapidly with 35 per cent urea at room temperature. At a higher temperature 30 per cent urea is rapidly effective. Denaturation of the egg album...
متن کاملDenaturation Changes in Egg Albumin with Urea, Radiation, and Heat by Janet H, Clark
The change produced in native proteins by various agents which results in loss of their characteristic properties and changes in solubility is called denaturation. The term, however, may be applied to structural and physical changes in the protein molecule which differ widely with the particular agent used. Urea denaturation differs in many respects from both heat and radiation denaturation. Ur...
متن کاملPolar or Apolar—The Role of Polarity for Urea-Induced Protein Denaturation
Urea-induced protein denaturation is widely used to study protein folding and stability; however, the molecular mechanism and driving forces of this process are not yet fully understood. In particular, it is unclear whether either hydrophobic or polar interactions between urea molecules and residues at the protein surface drive denaturation. To address this question, here, many molecular dynami...
