酶在晶体与溶液状态下催化活性和盐酸胍变性过程中活性变化的比较

本文对甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶、乳酸脱氢酶、α-胰凝乳蛋白酶的晶态和溶液态的催化活性和盐酸胍变性过程中活性的变化进行了比较。晶体酶的活性低于溶液酶的活性。在盐酸胍溶液中晶体酶比溶液酶更加稳定。促进酶晶体生长的试剂硫酸铵对不同酶的催化活性的影响不同,但在盐酸胍变性过程中,硫酸铵对各种酶的活性都表现出保护作用。在高浓度的盐酸胍溶液中比在低浓度的盐酸胍溶液中硫酸铵的保护作用更加明显。这些结果表明酶分子的柔性是酶分子执行其催化功能所必需的,酶分子的柔性与酶分子的稳定性有着密切联系,酶分子处于柔性较差的状态,稳定性就较大。

含有二硫键的蛋白质在6mol/L盐酸胍中变性后不是完全无序的

本文用紫外差光谱、紫外二阶导数光谱和圆二色光谱,对二硫键完整和经还原并氨酰羧甲基化(以下简称还原)的核糖核酸酶A(RNase A),牛血清白蛋白(BSA)和溶菌酶在6 mol/L盐酸胍中变性后的结构进行了比较。尽管在圆二色光谱中,二硫键完整和还原的变性蛋白都看不到α-螺旋和β-折叠等有序二级结构的存在,但是,与二硫键还原的变性蛋白相比,含有完整天然二硫键的变性蛋白在芳香族氨基酸残基侧链的暴露程度上明显较低。这些结果说明含有完整天然二硫键的蛋白在6mol/L盐酸胍中变性后可能仍然保留有一定程度的有序空间结构。

芘荧光探针法研究C60-胶束水溶液体系的微环境性质

首次运用芘荧光探针法考察了Ｃ６０－胶束水溶液体系的微环境性质,发现Ｃ６０的介入可以改变非离子表面活性剂所形成胶束的结构而破坏胶束的有序情,从而使胶束的体积变大。Ｃ６０能显著猝灭芘单分子的荧光,而几乎不会破坏芘单体与其激基二聚体的平衡,表明Ｃ６０主要是同芘单分子之间发生ＣＴ作用。同时Ｃ６０对芘单分子荧光的猝灭在有机体系中主要呈现静态猝灭而在胶束体系中则主要呈现动态猝灭。

核糖核酸酶A在DAB-环乙烷溶液中的活性和构象

The activity and conformation of ribonuclerse A (RNaseA) solubilized in cyclohexane via dodecylammonium butyrate(DAB) reverse micelles were investigated. The activity of RNaseA was studied using the cytidine 2’,3’ -phosphate as the substrate, and it was found that kcat increases significantly with respect to that in water attended by an increased Km•FT-IR spectra of RNaseA in reverse micellar solution were investigated as a function of w0(= [H2O]/ [DAB]), and it was noted that the structure of RNaseA became losser in reverse micelles campared to that in aqueous solution. The relation between activity and conformation was discussed.     

Effect of Chaotropes on Lipase Back Extraction Recovery in the Process of Reverse Micellar Extraction

Chaotropes could significantly enhance lipase activity recovery in reverse micellar back extraction. However, the mechanism of chaotropes promoting the release of enzyme from reverse micelles was not clear. In this study, chaotropes were added in the process of lipase reverse micellar extraction, and back extraction recovery was improved. In back extraction, at 0.6 M urea in stripping solution, 94.60 % total extraction recovery was obtained. Meanwhile at 0.3 M guanidine hydrochloride, nearly 65 % lipases were released into the stripping solution. DLS and Karl Fischer method results showed that the presence of urea in stripping solution could weaken the electrostatic interaction between lipase and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide molecules, promoting lipase release from reverse micelles, and guanidine hydrochloride could stimulate lipase and free water molecules enwrapped in reverse micelle release into the stripping solution. These experimental results provide a clue for understanding the mechanism of chaotropes influencing on protein recovery in reverse micelle back extraction.

Oxidative refolding of reduced, denatured lysozyme in AOT reverse micelles

The refolding kinetics of the reduced, denatured hen egg white lysozyme in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT)-isooctane-water reverse micelles at different water-to-surfactant molar ratios has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy. The oxidative refolding of the confined lysozyme is biphasic in AOT reverse micelles. When the water-to-surfactant molar ratio (omega 0) is 12.6, the relative activity of encapsulated lysozyme after refolding for 24 h in AOT reverse micelles increases 46% compared with that in bulk water. Furthermore, aggregation of lysozyme at a higher concentration (0.2 mM) in AOT reverse micelles at omega 0 of 6.3 or 12.6 is not observed; in contrast, the oxidative refolding of lysozyme in bulk water must be at a lower protein concentration (5 microM) in order to avoid a serious aggregation of the protein. For comparison, we have also investigated the effect of AOT on lysozyme activity and found that the residual activity of lysozyme decreases with increasing the concentration of AOT from 1 to 5 mM. When AOT concentration is larger than 2 mM, lysozyme is almost completely inactivated by AOT and most of lysozyme activity is lost. Together, our data demonstrate that AOT reverse micelles with suitable water-to-surfactant molar ratios are favorable to the oxidative refolding of reduced, denatured lysozyme at a higher concentration, compared with bulk water.     

Striking Improvement in Peroxidase Activity of Cytochrome c by Modulating Hydrophobicity of Surface‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles within Cationic Reverse Micelles

This work demonstrates a remarkable enhancement in the peroxidase activity of mitochondrial membrane protein cytochrome c (cyt c) by perturbing its tertiary structure in the presence of surface‐functionalised gold nanoparticles (GNPs) within cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) reverse micelles. The loss in the tertiary structure of cyt c exposes its heme moiety (which is buried inside in the native globular form), which provides greater substrate (pyrogallol and H₂O₂) accessibility to the reactive heme residue. The surfactant shell of the CTAB reverse micelle in the presence of co‐surfactant (n‐hexanol) exerted higher crowding effects on the interfacially bound cyt c than similar anionic systems. The congested interface led to protein unfolding, which resulted in a 56‐fold higher peroxidase activity of cyt c than that in water. Further perturbation in the protein’s structure was achieved by doping amphiphile‐capped GNPs with varying hydrophobicities in the water pool of the reverse micelles. The hydrophobic moiety on the surface of the GNPs was directed towards the interfacial region, which induced major steric strain at the interface. Consequently, interaction of the protein with the hydrophobic domain of the amphiphile further disrupted its tertiary structure, which led to better opening up of the heme residue and, thereby, superior activity of the cyt c. The cyt c activity in the reverse micelles proportionately enhanced with an increase in the hydrophobicity of the GNP‐capping amphiphiles. A rigid cholesterol moiety as the hydrophobic end group of the GNP strikingly improved the cyt c activity by up to 200‐fold relative to that found in aqueous buffer. Fluorescence studies with both a tryptophan residue (Trp59) of the native protein and the sodium salt of fluorescein delineated the crucial role of the hydrophobicity of the GNP‐capping amphiphiles in improving the peroxidase activity of cyt c by unfolding its tertiary structure within the reverse micelles.     

Water in oil colloïdal droplets used as microreactors

This review presents the main results of the studies carried out in reverse micelles during last few years. The reader can point out the ability of reverse micelles in acting as a microreactor, in the various cases. Because of the ability of changing the size of such reactor by increasing the amount of solubilized water in reverse micelles and by changing the location of the reactants, the kinetic rate constant of chemical reactions can be changed by several order of magnitude.This property favors the formation of nanosize monodispersed crystallites. By changing the water content, the size of the clusters increases and their surface can be modified. Percolation process induced by cytochrome c addition in dilute reverse micelles is reported. It is shown that this is due to electrostatic interactions between the protein and the water in oil interface. Reverse micelles are able to solubilize enzyme keeping its activity and play an important role as protecting agents in the chemical modification of the enzyme.     

反胶团相转移法提纯酵母脂肪酶

Enhanced solubilization of bovine serum albumin in reverse micelles by compressed CO2

The effect of compressed CO2 on the solubilization of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in water/sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles was studied by observing phase behavior and recording UV-visible spectra under different conditions. The pH values within the water cores of reverse micelles at different CO2 pressures were also determined. The solubilization capacity of the reverse micelles for the protein increased considerably as CO2 pressure increased within the low-pressure range, but decreased at higher CO2 pressures, so that the micelles eventually lost their ability to solubilize the protein. The effect of CO2 on the stability of the reverse micelles played an important role in the relationship between pressure and protein solubility. A "multicomplex" model was proposed to explain these effects. The different solublization capacities within different pressure ranges demonstrates the unique advantage of using compressed CO2 in the extraction of proteins with reverse micelles.
