Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) were used for monitoring of the procedure for cytochrome CYP11A1 monomerization in solution without phospholipids. It was shown that the incubation of 100 μM CYP11A1 with 12% Emulgen 913 in 50 mM KP, pH 7.4, for 10 min at T = 22°C leads to dissociation of hemoprotein aggregates to monomers with the monomerization degree of (82 ± 4)%. Following the monomerization procedure, CYP11A1 remained functionally active. AFM was employed to detect and visualize the isolated proteins as well as complexes formed between the components of the cytochrome CYP11A1-dependent steroid hydroxylase system. Both Ad and AdR were present in solution as monomers. The typical heights of the monomeric AdR, Ad and CYP11A1 images were measured by AFM and were found to correspond to the sizes 1.6 ± 0.2 nm, 1.0 ± 0.2 nm and 1.8 ± 0.2 nm, respectively. The binary Ad/AdR and AdR/CYP11A1mon complexes with the heights 2.2 ± 0.2 nm and 2.8 ± 0.2 nm, respectively, were registered by use of AFM. The Ad/CYP11A1mon complex formation reaction was kinetically characterized based on optical biosensor data. In addition, the ternary AdR/Ad/CYP11A1 complexes with a typical height of 4 ± 1 nm were AFM registered.
原子力显微镜(AFM)和光子相关光谱法(PCS)用于监测细胞色素CYP11A1在无磷脂溶液中单体化的过程。结果表明,在50 mM KP、pH 7.4的条件下,于22°C将100 μM CYP11A1与12%的乳化剂913孵育10分钟,会导致血红蛋白聚集体解离为单体,单体化程度为(82 ± 4)%。经过单体化过程后,CYP11A1仍保持功能活性。AFM用于检测和可视化分离的蛋白质以及细胞色素CYP11A1依赖性类固醇羟化酶系统各组分之间形成的复合物。Ad和AdR在溶液中均以单体形式存在。通过AFM测量了单体AdR、Ad和CYP11A1图像的典型高度,发现分别对应于1.6 ± 0.2 nm、1.0 ± 0.2 nm和1.8 ± 0.2 nm的尺寸。利用AFM记录了高度分别为2.2 ± 0.2 nm和2.8 ± 0.2 nm的二元Ad/AdR和AdR/CYP11A1mon复合物。基于光学生物传感器数据对Ad/CYP11A1mon复合物形成反应进行了动力学表征。此外,通过AFM记录了典型高度为4 ± 1 nm的三元AdR/Ad/CYP11A1复合物。
