The effects of the water-miscible organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, acetonitrile, N,N'-dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran) on the stability and catalytic activity of alpha-chymotrypsin (CT) immobilized on Eupergit CM were studied. Enhanced stabilities and activities were observed both as a consequence of immobilization and the presence of organic solvent, which in combination provide long term (at least 24 h) retention of activity, and up to 50-fold increase in 50% (v/v) methanol in buffer. Low quantities (20%, v/v) of acetonitrile not only prevented CT inactivation by autolysis at 20 degrees C but also induced a significant increase in the activity of both free (six-fold) and immobilized (two-fold) CT.
研究了与水混溶的有机溶剂(甲醇、乙醇、1-丙醇、2-丙醇、乙腈、N,N'-二甲基甲酰胺和四氢呋喃)对固定在Eupergit CM上的α-胰凝乳蛋白酶(CT)稳定性和催化活性的影响。固定化以及有机溶剂的存在均增强了稳定性和活性,二者共同作用可实现活性的长期(至少24小时)保留,且在缓冲液中50%(v/v)甲醇存在时活性可提高至50倍。低含量(20%,v/v)的乙腈不仅可防止CT在20℃下因自溶而失活,还能使游离CT(提高6倍)和固定化CT(提高2倍)的活性显著增加。
