The lactosylation of alpha-lactalbumin in aqueous solution was followed at pH(c) = 6.0, 6.3, 7.0, 7.3, and 7.9 and constant ionic strength (I = 0.080) at 50-60 degrees C by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and electrospray mass spectrometry (MS). The rate of the lactosylation reaction increased with increasing pH and with temperature most significantly at lower pH. The rate of lactosylation could be described by an acid dissociation curve corresponding to pK(a) of the epsilon-amino group of lysine in alpha-lactalbumin. From initial rates for conditions of excess of lactose, pseudo-first-order rate constants were calculated and further transferred into second-order rate constants by dividing with the lactose concentration. Second-order rate constants for protonated and unprotonated lysine in alpha-lactalbumin both showed Arrhenius behavior, and using transition-state theory, DeltaH# = 31 +/- 2 kJ/mol and DeltaS# = -266 +/- 48 J/(mol . K) were determined for the unprotonated form and DeltaH# = 158 +/- 49 kJ/mol and DeltaS# = 80 +/- 150 J/(mol . K) for the protonated form, respectively. On the basis of the marked differences in activation parameters, initial formation of a lactosylamine is suggested as rate-determining for reaction between lactose and a protonated lysine in alpha-lactalbumin, while subsequent water elimination to form a Schiff base becomes rate-determining for the unprotonated form.  相似文献

The antioxidative effect of purified carnosine (i.e., separated from the common contaminant hydrazine) has been evaluated in two systems: (i) Carnosine was found to possess poor reducing properties toward the prooxidant ferrylmyoglobin; at pH approximately 5 the presence of carnosine did not increase the rate of reduction of MbFe(IV)=O compared to autoreduction, whereas at pH 7.4 the rate constant for reduction by carnosine was 0.010 +/- 0.002 M(-1).s(-1) (I = 0.16; 25.0 degrees C). (ii) In cooked pork patties prepared from meat (longissimus dorsi and masseter) with purified or nonpurified carnosine added, the effect of purified carnosine was insignificant when compared to control patties, whereas patties with carnosine contaminated with hydrazine had a lower oxidation level than patties with purified carnosine. Carnosine is concluded not to deactivate the prooxidant ferrylmyoglobin and not to have any antioxidative effect in cooked pork.  相似文献

The concentration of the free fatty acid anion linoleate was found to be important for the pro-oxidative activity of metmyoglobin, MbFe(III), and for mixtures of metmyoglobin and hydrogen peroxide, MbFe(III)/H(2)O(2), to yield perferrylmyoglobin, (*)MbFe(IV)=O, whereas for ferrylmyoglobin, MbFe(IV)=O, no concentration effect was noted as studied in linoleate emulsions (pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C). Determination of conjugated dienes using second-derivative absorption spectroscopy, changes in Soret band absorbance, and spin-trapping ESR spectroscopy with alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butyl nitrone (POBN) as the spin trap were used to evaluate the pro-oxidative activity of myoglobins. At a linoleate (LA)/heme protein (HP) ratio of 100, no MbFe(III)-induced linoleate peroxidation was observed, as MbFe(III) was converted to its non-pro-oxidative low-spin derivative, hemichrome, independently of the presence of H(2)O(2). At higher LA/HP ratios, linoleate peroxidation was initiated by the addition of MbFe(III), both in the presence and in the absence of H(2)O(2). This proceeded with denaturation of MbFe(III), as followed by changes in Soret absorption band, which most probably release or expose the heme group to the environment and thereby permit hematin-induced lipid peroxidation. The obtained results show that the mechanism by which MbFe(IV)=O initiates linoleate peroxidation is different from MbFe(III)- and MbFe(III)/H(2)O(2)-initiated linoleate peroxidation. The shift in mechanism between heme protein cleavage of lipid hydroperoxides and hematin-induced lipid peroxidation is discussed in relation to oxidative progress in biological systems and muscle-based foods.  相似文献

Kinetics of reduction of iron(IV) in ferrylmyoglobin by chlorogenate in neutral or moderately acidic aqueous solutions (0.16 M NaCl) to yield metmyoglobin was studied using stopped flow absorption spectroscopy. The reaction occurs by direct bimolecular electron transfer with (2.7 +/- 0.3) x 10(3) M(-)(1).s(-)(1) at 25.0 degrees C (DeltaH( )(#) = 59 +/- 6 kJ.mol(-)(1), DeltaS(#) = 15 +/- 22 J. mol(-)(1).K(-)(1)) for protonated ferrylmyoglobin (pK(a) = 4.95) and with 216 +/- 50 M(-)(1).s(-)(1) (DeltaH( )(#) = 73 +/- 8 kJ. mol(-)(1), DeltaS( )(#) = 41 +/- 30 J.mol(-)(1).K(-)(1)) for nonprotonated ferrylmyoglobin in parallel with reduction of a chlorogenate/ferrylmyoglobin complex by a second chlorogenate molecule with (8.6 +/- 1.1) x 10(2) M(-)(1).s(-)(1) (DeltaH( )(#) = 74 +/- 8 kJ.mol(-)(1), DeltaS( )(#) = 59 +/- 28 J.mol(-)(1).K(-)(1)) for protonated ferrylmyoglobin and with 61 +/- 9 M(-)(1).s(-)(1) (DeltaH( )(#) = 82 +/- 12 kJ.mol(-)(1), DeltaS( )(#) = 63 +/- 41 J. mol(-)(1).K(-)(1)) for nonprotonated ferrylmyoglobin. Previously published data on ascorbate reduction of ferrylmyoglobin are reevaluated according to a similar mechanism. For both protonated and nonprotonated ferrylmyoglobin the binding constant of chlorogenate is approximately 300 M(-)(1), and the modulation of ferrylmyoglobin as an oxidant by chlorogenate (or ascorbate) leads to a novel antioxidant interaction for reduction of ferrylmyoglobin by ascorbate in mixtures with chlorogenate.  相似文献

Oxidation of the myofibrillar muscle protein myosin from pork by hypervalent myoglobin species (MbFe(III)/H 2O2 radical generating system) was investigated in aqueous solution in the pH range of 5.0-7.8 by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using N- tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) as spin trap and indirectly by determination of the rate of reduction of hypervalent myoglobin species by UV spectroscopy. Cross-linking of myosin was examined by SDS-PAGE. The target for oxidative modification of myosin was studied by thiol blocking by N-acetylmaleimide (NEM) and by determining oxidative modification of myosin thiols. The reaction between myosin and hypervalent myoglobin was fast and showed little dependence on pH. The myosin radicals formed were observed to be short-lived. Myosin thiols are suggested to be the main target for oxidative modification, as NEM-treated myosin did not form radicals in the presence of hypervalent myoglobin. A significant decrease in thiol content was already demonstrated 25 s after initiation of oxidation of myosin. The majority of myosin heavy chain (MHC) was demonstrated to be cross-linked through intermolecular disulfide bonding 1 h after initiation of oxidation. This demonstrates that thiols are important for radical formation and cross-linking of myosin during oxidation with hypervalent myoglobin at the pH of meat products.  相似文献

The hypervalent heme pigment ferrylmyoglobin, a potential prooxidant in muscle tissue and meat, is efficiently reduced by epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea and by green tea polyphenol extract (GTP) in neutral or moderately acidic aqueous solution (0.16 M NaCl) to yield metmyoglobin in two parallel processes. The second-order rate constant for direct reduction at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C was found to have the value 1170 +/- 83 M(-1).s(-1) and activation parameters DeltaH(#) = 70.6 +/- 7.2 kJ.mol(-1) and DeltaS(#) = 50.7 +/- 24.1 J.mol(-1).K(-1) for EGCG and the value 2300 +/- 77 M(-1).s(-1) and parameters DeltaH(#) = 60.6 +/- 2.6 kJ.mol(-1) and DeltaS(#) = 23 +/- 9 J.mol(-1).K(-1) for GTP (based on EGCG concentration). For decreasing pH, the rate increased moderately due to a parallel reduction of protonated ferrylmyoglobin. At physiological pH, EGCG is more efficient in deactivating ferrylmyoglobin than other plant phenols investigated, and the relatively high enthalpy and positive entropy of activation suggest an outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism. The interaction between EGCG and other tea catechins in GTP could be responsible for the even stronger ability for GTP to deactivate ferrylmyoglobin.  相似文献

The browning of glucose-fructose-glycine mixtures involves parallel glucose-glycine and fructose-glycine reactions, which share a common intermediate, the immediate precursor of melanoidins in the kinetic model. At pH 5.5, 55 degrees C glucose is converted into this intermediate in a two step process where k(1) = (7.8 +/- 1.1) x 10(-)(4) mol L(-)(1) h(-)(1) and k(2) = (1.84 +/- 0.31) x 10(-)(3) h(-)(1) according to established kinetics, whereas fructose is converted into this intermediate in a single step where k(4) = 5.32 x 10(-)(5)()()mol L(-)(1) h(-)(1). The intermediate is converted to melanoidins in a single rate limiting process where k(mix) = 0.0177 h(-)(1) and the molar extinction coefficient (based on the concentration of sugar converted) of the melanoidins so formed is 1073 +/- 4 mol(-)(1) L cm(-)(1). Whereas the value of k(mix) is the same when the individual sugars undergo browning, the value of the molar extinction coefficient is similar to that for melanoidins from the glucose-glycine reaction (955 +/- 45 mol(-)(1) L cm(-)(1)) but it is approximately double the value for melanoidins from the fructose-glycine reaction (478 +/- 18 mol(-)(1) L cm(-)(1)). This is the reason that the effects of glucose and fructose on the rate of browning are synergistic.  相似文献

Hydrolysis of beta-lactoglobulin (in an equimolar mixture of the A and B variant) by trypsin in neutral aqueous solution [pH 7.7 at 25 degrees C, ionic strength 0.08 (NaCl)] was followed by capillary electrophoresis and thermodynamic parameters derived from a Michaelis-Menten analysis of rate data obtained at 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees C for disappearance of beta-lactoglobulin. Enthalpy of substrate binding to the enzyme and the energy of activation for the catalytic process were found to have the values, DeltaH(bind) = -28 +/- 4 kJ mol(-)(1) and E(a) = 51 +/- 18 kJ mol(-)(1), respectively. Thus, beta-lactoglobulin shows an enthalpy of activation for free substrate reacting with free enzyme of about 21 kJ mol(-)(1), corresponding to a transition state stabilization of 60 kJ mol(-)(1) when compared to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. The catalytic efficiency of trypsin in hydrolysis of beta-lactoglobulin is increased significantly by temperature; however, this effect is partly counteracted by a weaker substrate binding resulting in an increase by only 25%/10 degrees C in overall catalytic efficiency.  相似文献

Treatment of olive oil mill wastewater by Fenton's reagent   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  
Wastewater from olive oil mills has been treated by means of the Fe(II)/H(2)O(2) system (Fenton's reagent). Typical operating variables such as reagent concentration (C(H(2)O(2)) = 1.0--0.2 M; C(Fe(II)) = 0.01--0.1 M) and temperature (T = 293--323 K) exerted a positive influence on the chemical oxygen demand and total carbon removal. The optimum working pH was found to be in the range 2.5--3.0. The exothermic nature of the process involved a significant increase of the temperature of the reaction media. The process was well simulated by a semiempirical reaction mechanism based on the classic Fenton chemistry. From the model, the reaction between ferric iron and hydrogen peroxide [k = 1.8 x 10(15) exp((-12,577 +/- 1248)/T)] was suggested to be the controlling step of the system. Also, the simultaneous inefficient decomposition of hydrogen peroxide [k = 6.3 x 10(12) exp((-11,987 +/- 2414)/T)] into water and oxygen was believed to play an important role in the process. On the basis of stoichiometric calculations for hydrogen peroxide consumption, an estimation of the process economy has been completed.  相似文献

Optimum experimental conditions were developed for determination of the optical purity of samples of tranylcypromine sulfate by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy after complexation with the chiral lanthanide chelate Eu(hfc)3. At a substrate concentration of 0.25M (0.125M as sulfate) in CDCl3 and an Eu(hfc)3 to substrate molar ratio of 1, the methine proton geminal to the amino group in the cyclopropane ring showed the largest induced shift and largest enantiomeric induced shift difference. From the relative intensities of the resolved (+)-CH-NH2 protons (15.77 ppm) and (-)-CH-NH2 proton (16.04 ppm), the enantiomeric purity and percentage compositions were readily calculated. The mean +/- SD recovery of (+)-tranylcypromine sulfate from synthetic enantiomeric mixtures was 101.02 +/- 2.59 (n = 6).  相似文献

The reactivity of purine derivatives (uric acid, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and purine) toward triplet-excited riboflavin in aqueous solution at pH 6.4 is described on the basis of kinetic (laser flash photolysis), electrochemical (square-wave voltammetry), and theoretical data (density functional theory, DFT). Direct deactivation of triplet-excited riboflavin in aqueous solution, pH 6.4 at 24 degrees C, in the presence of uric acid, xanthine, and hypoxanthine strongly suggests a direct electron transfer from the purine to the triplet-excited riboflavin with k = 2.9 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 14.7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -15.6 J mol(-1) K(-1)), 1.2 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 34.3 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = +45.3 J mol(-1) K(-1)), and 1.7 x10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 122 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = +319 J mol(-1) K(-1)), respectively. From the respective one-electron oxidation potentials collected in aqueous solution at pH 6.4 for uric acid (E = +0.686 vs normal hydrogen electrode, NHE), xanthine (E = +1.106 vs NHE), and hypoxanthine (E = +1.654 vs NHE), the overall free energy changes for electron transfer from the quencher to the triplet-excited riboflavin are as follows: uric acid (DeltaG(o) = -114 kJ mol(-1)), xanthine (DeltaG(o) = -73.5 kJ mol(-1)), hypoxanthine (DeltaG(o) = -20.6 kJ mol(-1)), and purine (DeltaG(o) > 0). The inertness observed for purine toward triplet-excited riboflavin corroborates with its electrochemical inactivity in the potential range from 0 up to 2 V vs NHE. These data are in agreement with the DFT results, which show that the energy of the purine highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) (-0.2685 arbitrary unit) is lower than the energy of the semioccupied molecular orbital (SOMO) (-0.2557 a.u.) of triplet-excited riboflavin, indicating an endergonic process for the electron-transfer process. The rate-determining step for deactivation by purine derivatives can be assigned to an electron transfer from the purine derivative to the SOMO orbital of the triplet-excited riboflavin. The results show that uric acid may compete with oxygen and other antioxidants to deactivate triplet-excited riboflavin in milk serum and other biological fluids leading to a free radical process.  相似文献

A neutral peroxidase isozyme (pI 7.2) from turnip roots (TNP) was purified to homogeneity and partially characterized. TNP is a monomeric glycoprotein with 9.1% carbohydrate content and a molecular weight of 36 kDa. Optimum pH values for activity using 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and guaiacol as H donors were 4.5 and 5.5, whereas the K(m) values were 0.7 and 3.7 mM, respectively. The ABTS K(m) was approximately 7 times higher than that reported for basic commercial horseradish peroxidase (HRP-C). TNP retained approximately 70% activity after 11 min of heating at 65 degrees C, whereas the activation energy for inactivation (132 kJ/mol) was higher than or comparable to that of other peroxidases. The low ABTS K(m) and high specific activity (1930 units/mg) gave a high catalytic efficiency (500 M(-1) s(-1)). These properties make TNP an enzyme with a high potential as an alternative to HRP in various applications.  相似文献

Chlorogenic acid is the major diphenol of many fruits, where it is oxidized enzymatically by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) or peroxidase (POD) to its o-quinone. In spectrophotometric studies of chlorogenic acid oxidation with a periodate ratio of [CGA]0/[IO4-]0 < 1 and [CGA]0/[IO4-]0 > 1, the o-quinone was characterized as follows: lambda(max) at 400 nm and epsilon = 2000 and 2200 M-1 cm-1 at pH 4.5 and 7.0, respectively. In studies of o-quinone generated by the oxidation of chlorogenic acid using a periodate at ratio of [CGA]0/[IO4-]0 > 1, a reaction with the remaining substrate was detected, showing rate constants of k = 2.73 +/- 0.17 M-1 s-1 and k' = 0.05 +/- 0.01 M-1 s-1 at the above pH values. A chronometric spectrophotometric method is proposed to kinetically characterize the action of the PPO or POD on the basis of measuring the time it takes for a given amount of ascorbic acid to be consumed in the reaction with the o-quinone. The kinetic constants of mushroom PPO and horseradish POD are determined.  相似文献

The reaction between the triplet excited state of riboflavin and amino acids, peptides, and bovine whey proteins was investigated in aqueous solution in the pH range from 4 to 9 at 24 degrees C using nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Only tyrosine and tryptophan (and their peptides) were found to compete with oxygen in quenching the triplet state of riboflavin in aqueous solution, with second-order rate constants close to the diffusion limit, 1.75 x 10(9) and 1.40 x 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1) for tyrosine and tryptophan, respectively, with beta-lactoglobulin and bovine serum albumin having comparable rate constants of 3.62 x 10(8) and 2.25 x 10(8) L mol(-1) s(-1), respectively. Tyrosine, tryptophan, and their peptides react with the photoexcited triplet state of riboflavin by electron transfer from the tyrosine and tryptophan moieties followed by a fast protonation of the resulting riboflavin anion rather than by direct H-atom abstraction, which could be monitored by time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy as a decay of triplet riboflavin followed by a rise in riboflavin anion radical absorption. For cysteine- and thiol-containing peptides, second-order rate constants depend strongly on pH, for cysteine corresponding to pKaRSH = 8.35. H-atom abstraction seems to operate at low pH, which with rising pH gradually is replaced by electron transfer from the thiol anion. From the pH dependence of the second-order rate constant, the respective values for the H-atom abstraction (k = 1.64 x 10(6) L mol(-1) s(-1)) and for the electron transfer (k = 1.20 x 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1)) were determined.  相似文献

A kinetic study of the alkylating potential of potassium sorbate (S)-a food preservative used worldwide-in 7:3 water/dioxane medium was performed. The following conclusions were drawn: (i) Potassium sorbate shows alkylating activity on the nucleophile 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP), a trap for alkylating agents with nucleophilic characteristics similar to those of DNA bases, (ii) The NBP alkylation reaction complies with the rate equation r = k(alk)[H+][S][NBP]/(K(a) + [H+]), K(a) being the sorbic acid dissociation constant and k(alk) the rate constant of NBP alkylation by the undissociated acid. In the range of pH 5-6, the alkylation time ranges between 18 days (pH 5.2) and >1 month (pH > or = 6). (iii) NBP alkylation occurs through a reaction with deltaH# = 78 kJ mol(-1), which is much higher than those of NBP alkylation by stronger alkylating agents. (iv) The absorption coefficient of the sorbate-NBP adduct was determined to be epsilon = 204 M(-1) cm(-1) (lambda = 580 nm), this value being rationalized in terms of the adduct structure. (v) The results can help to establish suitable expiration times for products preserved with potassium sorbate.  相似文献

Aqueous crude extracts of a series of plant wastes (agricultural, wild plants, residues from sports activities (grass), ornamental residues (gardens)) from 17 different plant species representative of the typical biodiversity of the Iberian peninsula were investigated as new sources of peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7). Of these, lentil (Lens culinaris L.) stubble crude extract was seen to provide one of the highest specific peroxidase activities, catalyzing the oxidation of guaiacol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to tetraguaiacol, and was used for further studies. For the optimum extraction conditions found, the peroxidase activity in this crude extract (110 U mL(-1)) did not vary for at least 15 months when stored at 4 °C (k(inact) = 0.146 year(-1), t(1/2 inact) = 4.75 year), whereas, for comparative purposes, the peroxidase activity (60 U mL(-1)) of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana L.) root crude extract, obtained and stored under the same conditions, showed much faster inactivation kinetics (k(inact) = 2.2 × 10(-3) day(-1), t(1/2 inact) = 315 days). Using guaiacol as an H donor and a universal buffer (see above), all crude extract samples exhibited the highest peroxidase activity in the pH range between 4 and 7. Once semipurified by passing the crude extract through hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, the novel peroxidase (LSP) was characterized as having a purity number (RZ) of 2.5 and three SDS-PAGE electrophoretic bands corresponding to molecular masses of 52, 35, and 18 kDa. The steady-state kinetic study carried out on the H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidation of guaiacol by the catalytic action of this partially purified peroxidase pointed to apparent Michaelian kinetic behavior (K(m)(appH(2)O(2)) = 1.87 mM; V(max)(appH(2)O(2)) = 6.4 mM min(-1); K(m)(app guaicol) = 32 mM; V(max)(app guaicol) = 9.1 mM min(-1)), compatible with the two-substrate ping-pong mechanism generally accepted for peroxidases. Finally, after the effectiveness of the crude extracts of LSP in oxidizing and removing from solution a series of last-generation dyes present in effluents from textile industries (1) had been checked, a steady-state kinetic study of the H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidation and decolorization of Green Domalan BL by the catalytic action of the lentil stubble extract was carried out, with the observation of the same apparent Michaelian kinetic behavior (K(m)(appGD) = 471 μM; V(max)(appGD)= 23 μM min(-1)). Further studies are currently under way to address the application of this LSP crude extract for the clinical and biochemical analysis of biomarkers.  相似文献

Effect of aldehyde lipid oxidation products on myoglobin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The effects of aldehyde lipid oxidation products on myoglobin (Mb) were investigated at 37 degrees C and pH 7.2. Oxymyoglobin (OxyMb) oxidation increased in the presence of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) compared to controls (P < 0.05). Preincubation of metmyoglobin (MetMb) with aldehydes rendered the heme protein a poorer substrate for enzymatic MetMb reduction compared to controls, and the effect was inversely proportional to preincubation time; unsaturated aldehydes were more effective than saturated aldehydes (P < 0.05). The order of MetMb reduction as affected by preincubation was control > hexanal > heptanal > octanal > nonanal = decanal = hexenal > heptenal = octenal > nonenal = decenal = 4-HNE (P < 0.05). Preincubation of MetMb with 4-HNE enhanced the subsequent ability of the heme protein to act as a prooxidant in both liposomes and microsomes when compared to controls (P < 0.05); the effect was reduced in microsomes containing elevated concentrations of alpha-tocopherol (P < 0.05). MetMb preincubation with mono-unsaturated aldehydes enhanced the catalytic activity of MetMb to a greater degree than saturated aldehydes (P < 0.05). These results suggest that aldehyde lipid oxidation products can alter Mb stability by increasing OxyMb oxidation, decreasing the ability of MetMb to be enzymatically reduced and enhancing the prooxidant activity of MetMb.  相似文献

Malted cereals are rich sources of alpha-amylase, which catalyzes the random hydrolysis of internal alpha-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds of starch, leading to liquefaction. Amylases play a role in the predigestion of starch, leading to a reduction in the water absorption capacity of the cereal. Among the three cereal amylases (barley, ragi, and jowar), jowar amylase is found to be the most thermostable. The major amylase from malted jowar, a 47 kDa alpha-amylase, purified to homogeneity, is rich in beta structure ( approximately 60%) like other cereal amylases. T(m), the midpoint of thermal inactivation, is found to be 69.6 +/- 0.3 degrees C. Thermal inactivation is found to follow first-order kinetics at pH 4.8, the pH optimum of the enzyme. Activation energy, E(a), is found to be 45.3 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-)(1). The activation enthalpy (DeltaH), entropy (DeltaS*), and free energy change (DeltaG) are calculated to be 44.6 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-)(1), 57.1 +/- 0.3 cal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1), and 25.2 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-)(1), respectively. The thermal stability of the enzyme in the presence of the commonly used food additives NaCl and sucrose has been studied. T(m) is found to decrease to 66.3 +/- 0.3, 58.1 +/- 0.2, and 48.1 +/- 0.5 degrees C, corresponding to the presence of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 M NaCl, respectively. Sucrose acts as a stabilizer; the T(m) value is found to be 77.3 +/- 0.3 degrees C compared to 69.6 +/- 0.3 degrees C in the control.  相似文献

The molecular mass of trout myoglobin was 16017 Da based on electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. A Root effect (low oxygen affinity at pH 6.3) was determined in trout hemoglobin but not myoglobin. At pH 6.3, myoglobin autoxidized more rapidly (3.5-fold) as compared to anodic hemoglobin. Anodic hemoglobin was a better catalyst of lipid oxidation in washed cod muscle as compared to myoglobin at pH 6.3. This suggested that some process other than met heme protein formation was the rate-limiting step in lipid oxidation processes. Heme loss rates were determined using the apomyoglobin mutant H64Y prepared from sperm whale. Anodic hemoglobin released its heme group much more rapidly than myoglobin. In comparisons of anodic and cathodic hemoglobins, heme loss rate better predicted the onset of lipid oxidation than autoxidation rate. These studies collectively suggest that heme dissociation has a primary role in the ability of different heme proteins to promote lipid oxidation processes.  相似文献

The interaction of antiperoxidative flavonoids artocarpin (AR), cycloartocarpin (CAR), dalspinin (DP), dalspinosin (DPO), and dalspinin-7-O-galactoside (DPG) with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation (ABTS(.+)) and O2(-.) was studied in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The ability of these compounds to inhibit lipid peroxidation and DNA scission was also investigated. The radical scavenging efficiency of flavonoids is demonstrated by the reduction of nitrogen-centered radical cation (ABTS(.+)). The reduction of ABTS(.+) follows the order quercetin > morin > Trolox > AR > DPO > CAR > DP. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation was studied by following Mb(IV) reduction, induced by lipid, arachidonic acid. These results are compared with those obtained for well-known antioxidants such as quercetin, morin, and Trolox. The structure-activity relationships between chemical structures of the flavonoids and their radical scavenging activities are anlayzed. The scavenging of O2(-.), inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage depend on the oxidation potential of the flavonoids. The possible mechanism for radical scavenging activities of flavonoids in relation to their structure is also outlined.  相似文献
