A systematic investigation on the effects of trifluoroethanol and acetonitrile at various concentrations on cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) was studied by enzyme assay, intrinsic fluorescence, ANS binding, circular dichroism and ATR-Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy. The results show the presence of molten globule states at 3% (v/v) TFE and 80% (v/v) ACN. Cellulase aggregates at 25% (v/v) TFE and 90% (v/v) ACN, as detected by decrease in intrinsic and ANS fluorescence, loss in tertiary structure and enzyme activity, increase non-native β-sheet structure as evident from far-UV CD and FTIR spectra, increase in Thioflavin T fluorescence and shift in Congo red assay.
通过酶活性测定、内源荧光、ANS 结合、圆二色性和 ATR-FTIR 光谱法,系统研究了不同浓度的三氟乙醇和乙腈对纤维素酶(EC 3.2.1.4)的影响。结果表明,在 3%(v/v)TFE 和 80%(v/v)ACN 存在无定形球蛋白状态。在 25%(v/v)TFE 和 90%(v/v)ACN 时,纤维素酶聚集,如内源和 ANS 荧光强度降低、三级结构和酶活性丧失、远紫外 CD 和 FTIR 光谱显示非天然β-折叠结构增加、硫代黄素 T 荧光增加和刚果红试验中出现位移等所证实。
