It has been reported [Smith, McWilliams & Hass (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 136, 336-340] that addition of certain metal ions, notably Co2+ and Mn2+, promoted the refolding of denatured phosphoglycerate mutase from wheat germ. We have re-investigated these experiments and have shown that, when precautions are taken to avoid artefacts in the assay system, the metal ions do not promote any re-activation of the denatured wheat-germ or Aspergillus nidulans enzymes. An alternative explanation is offered for the observations of Smith et al. (1986).
据报道[史密斯、麦克威廉姆斯和哈斯(1986年),《生物化学与生物物理研究通讯》136卷,第336 - 340页],添加某些金属离子,特别是Co2+和Mn2+,可促进小麦胚芽中变性磷酸甘油酸变位酶的重折叠。我们重新研究了这些实验,并表明,当采取预防措施避免检测系统中出现假象时,金属离子不会促进变性小麦胚芽或构巢曲霉酶的任何重新激活。针对史密斯等人(1986年)的观察结果提出了另一种解释。
