Abstract: | Phthalic anhydride (PA) modification stabilizes horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by reversal of the positive charge on two of HRP's six lysine residues. Native and PA-HRP had half-inactivation temperatures of 51 and 65 degrees C and half-lives at 65 degrees C of 4 and 17 min, respectively. PA-HRP was more resistant to dimethylformamide at room temperature and tetrahydrofuran at 60 degrees C and to unfolding by heat, guanidine chloride, EDTA, and the reducing agent tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride. Binding of the hydrophobic probe Nile Red to the native enzyme and to PA-HRP was similar. The kinetics of both HRPs with the substrates ABTS, ferrocyanide, ferulic acid, and indole-3-propionic acid were measured, as was binding of the inhibitor benzhydroxamic acid. Small improvements in the catalytic properties were detected. |
