摘要:利用差示扫描量热(DSC)和温度调制差示扫描量热(MDSC)研究了鸡蛋白溶菌酶在纯水及二甲基亚砜 (DMSO)/水混合溶剂中的热变性过程, 探讨了酶的浓度、扫描速率和共溶剂的含量对热变性行为的影响规律. 在 纯水溶液中, 溶菌酶的变性焓(驻H m )随酶浓度的增大而增大. 而在 DMSO/水混合溶剂中, 变性温度(T m )随 DMSO 体积分数的增大向低温方向移动, 变性峰变低变宽; 当 DMSO 体积分数达到 70%后, 热变性曲线变成了一条光 滑的直线. 另外, 在纯水溶液中溶菌酶的 MDSC 图除了出现 DSC 中可观察到的主吸热峰(I)外, 在峰(I)的前面还 出现一个小而对称的吸热峰(II), 并且当体系中有 DMSO 存在时也未能观察到此峰. 当溶菌酶浓度增大时, T m (II) 移向低温, 驻H m (II)减小, T m (I)与 T m (II)之间的距离变长. 吸热峰(II)的出现被认为是由于水溶液中溶菌酶二聚体的 可逆离解造成的. 关键词: DSC;MDSC; DMSO; 鸡蛋白溶菌酶; 热变性 中图分类号: O642 Abstract:
