Popis: | Thermolabile pectinesterase (TL-PE) was inactivated completely after 8 h of dialysis at pH 3.3 but retained activity at pH 4.1 and pH 7.0. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra and secondary structural analysis showed similar secondary structure between pH 7.0, pH 4.1, and pH 3.3. The CD spectra of TL-PE were compared at pH 7.0 and 4.1 and between 25 and 70 °C. Heating TL-PE at pH 7.0 and 4.1 resulted in irreversible protein precipitation. The thermal transition temperature for destabilization of TL-PE structure occurs at a lower temperature at pH 4.1 than at pH 7.0, suggesting some change in the secondary structure of TL-PE.
