非还原脲变性蛋白溶菌酶稀释复性过程中集聚现象的研究

用十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、阴极聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和高效凝胶排阻色谱法, 研究了非还原脲变性蛋白溶菌酶在稀释复性过程中的集聚现象. 实验发现, 在整个稀释复性过程中, 没有蛋白溶菌酶集聚体沉淀产生. 当最终复性液中蛋白溶菌酶浓度小于4.0 mg/mL时, 复性过程中不会形成蛋白溶菌酶分子集聚体; 当最终复性液中蛋白溶菌酶浓度介于4.0～8.0 mg/mL时, 复性过程中会形成由非共价相互作用所引起的蛋白溶菌酶二分子和三分子集聚体; 而当最终复性液中蛋白溶菌酶浓度大于8.0 mg/mL时, 复性过程中除了会形成二分子和三分子蛋白溶菌酶集聚体外, 还会形成四分子蛋白溶菌酶集聚体. 在此基础上, 结合文献, 对非还原脲变性蛋白溶菌酶的稀释复性过程进行了描述.     

高效弱阳离子交换色谱法对脲还原变性溶菌酶的折叠研究

用高效弱阳离子交换色谱(HPWCX)对脲还原变性溶菌酶(Lys)进行了复性研究. 在流动相中脲浓度固定为4.0 mol•L^－1和选用对天然态蛋白有稳定作用的硫酸铵为盐或置换剂时, 在蛋白浓度为15.0～50.0 mg•mL^－1时, HPWCX法比稀释法活性回收率高. 为了提高Lys的质量及活性回收率对所用色谱条件进行了优化研究, 当蛋白起始浓度为20.0 mg•mL^－1时, Lys的质量回收率和活性收率分别为97.8%和95.4%. 表明此种方法简便且有可能对其他还原变性蛋白的复性具有通用性.     

Thermal stability of lysozyme and myoglobin in the presence of anionic surfactants

The interactions of lysozyme and myoglobin with anionic surfactants (hydrogenated and fluorinated), at surfactant concentrations below the critical micelle concentration, in aqueous solution were studied using spectroscopic techniques. The temperature conformational transition of globular proteins by anionic surfactants was analysed as a function of denaturant concentration through absorbance measurements at 280 nm. Changes in absorbance of protein-surfactant system with temperature were used to determine the unfolding thermodynamics parameters, melting temperature, T _m, enthalpy, ΔH _m, entropy, ΔS _m and the heat capacity change, ΔC _p, between the native and denatured states.     

Z及logI对离子交换色谱中脲变溶菌酶分子构象变化的表征

以溶菌酶(Lys)为目标蛋白,用计量置换保留理论(SDT-R)中的参数Z和logI对弱阳离子交换色谱(WCX)中“准天然态”和脲变还原与非还原的两种变性状态的Lys的分子构象变化进行了表征。发现在流动相中含有脲时,蛋白的保留仍服从SDT理论,可以准确测定在特定脲浓度条件下Lys的Z及logI值。结果表明,3种分子构象状态的Lys的Z值均随脲浓度改变呈现不连续变化;“准天然态”Lys在同一脲浓度条件下的Z值比变性状态的大,logI比变性状态的小,而非还原变性态和“准天然态”Lys的Z和logI值比较接近。还     

三维吸附紧密高分子单链的力学性质研究

采用PERM(pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method)算法,研究了吸附在界面附近的紧密高分子链力学行为.发现当界面的吸附能比较大时,紧密高分子链从紧贴于吸附界面到逐渐远离的过程中,其外形会经历4种典型的变化.同时紧密高分子链的尺寸大小如/N、xy/N、z/N,形状参数<δ*>,热力学性质如每个键的平均自由能A/N,平均相互作用能/N等,甚至所受外力的大小都会同时做出相应的变化,其出现变化的位置也一致.特别是随着紧密高分子链离开吸附界面的过程中,作用于高分子链上的外力明显出现几个力学平台,这与实验得到的结果完全一致.同时还研究了弱吸附能的情况,在这种情况下实验是很难进行的.

SDS-PAGE study on photooxidation damage of lysozyme induced by riboflavin

The photooxidation damage of lysozyme under 315-375 nm irradiation in the presence of riboflavin was studied by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE).Indica- tions showed that the mechanisms and products of oxidative damage were relative to the concentra- tion of riboflavin,the time of irradiation and the ambience.The type I process was examined in a nitrogen saturated solution,whereas both type I and type II were observed in an aerobic atmosphere and type II was the dominant process.The study also suggested that antioxidants,such as melatonin, can reduce the damage of lysozyme effectively.     

Three‐Component Langmuir–Blodgett Films Consisting of Surfactant,Clay Mineral,and Lysozyme: Construction and Characterization

The Langmuir–Blodgett (L–B) technique has been employed for the construction of hybrid films consisting of three components: surfactant, clay, and lysozyme (Lys). The surfactants are octadecylammonium chloride (ODAH) and octadecyl ester of rhodamine B (RhB18). The clays include saponite and laponite. Surface pressure versus area isotherms indicate that lysozyme is adsorbed by the surfactant–clay L–B film at the air–water interface without phase transition. The UV‐visible spectra of the hybrid film ODAH–saponite–Lys show that the amount of immobilized lysozyme in the hybrid film is (1.3±0.2) ng mm^?2. The average surface area (Ω) per molecule of lysozyme is approximately 18.2 nm² in the saponite layer. For the multilayer film (ODAH–saponite–Lys)_n, the average amount of lysozyme per layer is (1.0±0.1) ng mm^?2. The amount of lysozyme found in the hybrid films of ODAH–laponite–Lys is at the detection limit of about 0.4 ng mm^?2. Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FTIR spectra give evidence for clay layers, ODAH, lysozyme, and water in the hybrid film. The octadecylammonium cations are partially oxidized to the corresponding carbamate. A weak 1620 cm^?1 band of lysozyme in the hybrid films is reminiscent of the presence of lysozyme aggregates. AFM reveals evidence of randomly oriented saponite layers of various sizes and shapes. Individual lysozyme molecules are not resolved, but aggregates of about 20 nm in diameter are clearly seen. Some aggregates are in contact with the clay mineral layers, others are not. These aggregates are aligned in films deposited at a surface pressure of 20 mN m^?1.     

A Bulk Acoustic Wave Viscosity Sensor for Determination of Lysozyme Based on Lysis of Micrococcus Lysodeikeicus

 A method for determination of lysozyme with a Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) viscosity sensor is presented. It is based on the bacteriolytic action of lysozyme on Micrococcus lysodeikeicus (M. lysodeikeicus) and the response of the sensor to the viscosity and density change of this process. There was a good correlation between the frequency shift and the concentration of lysozyme in the range 10–100 μg/ml. The content of lysozyme in human saliva was determined by this method and the results obtained were in good agreement with those from the conventional turbidimetric method. This method has an advantage over the conventional turbidimetric method in that the amount of sample needed is smaller, the procedure is simpler and the concentration range of the bacterium suspension which can be used in the detection was extended.
