Unfolding and aggregation during the thermal denaturation of streptokinase.
The thermal denaturation of streptokinase from Streptococcus equisimilis (SK) together with that of a set of fragments encompassing each of its three domains has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Analysis of the effects of pH, sample concentration and heating rates on the DSC thermograms has allowed us to find conditions where thermal unfolding occurs unequivocall...
متن کاملThermal unfolding of G-actin monitored with the DNase I-inhibition assay stabilities of actin isoforms.
Actin is one of the proteins that rely on chaperonins for proper folding. This paper shows that the thermal unfolding of G-actin, as studied by CD and ultraviolet difference spectrometry, coincides with a loss in DNase I-inhibiting activity of the protein. Thus, the DNase I inhibition assay should be useful for systematic studies of actin unfolding and refolding. Using this assay, we have inves...
متن کاملThermal unfolding of proteins.
Thermal unfolding of proteins is compared to folding and mechanical stretching in a simple topology-based dynamical model. We define the unfolding time and demonstrate its low-temperature divergence. Below a characteristic temperature, contacts break at separate time scales and unfolding proceeds approximately in a way reverse to folding. Features in these scenarios agree with experiments and a...
متن کاملSalts and glycine increase reversibility and decrease aggregation during thermal unfolding of ribonuclease-A.
Ribonuclease-A (RNase-A) has been a model for studying protein folding and unfolding. However, we show here that its unfolding at neutral pH is complicated by aggregation. Circular dichroism thermal scans showed that reversibility of RNase-A after heating is only about 63%. In accordance with this observation, native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the sample heated at 75 degrees C showed...
متن کاملExamination of thermal unfolding and aggregation profiles of a series of developable therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
Screening for pharmaceutically viable stability from measurements of thermally induced protein unfolding and short-term accelerated stress underpins much molecule design, selection, and formulation in the pharmaceutical biotechnology industry. However, the interrelationships among intrinsic protein conformational stability, thermal denaturation, and pharmaceutical stability are complex. There a...
