| Research Abstract |
(1) Refolding experiment was carried out by use of denatured and reduced hen egg-white lysozyme (Lyzm). Recovered activity was ca. 20% at the Lyzm concentration of 10 muM by simple dilution method from 6 M guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) solution. The major part of the unrecovered enzyme resulted in aggregation. In the presence of 0.5-1 M GdmCl where the protein molecule is expected to be in loosely refolded state, the recovered activity increased drastically up to 80%. Using combined solvent of urea and LiCl instead of GdmCl, the recovered activity of 100% could be attained.
(2) Combined solvents such as ethylene glycol-LiCl and glycerol-LiCl also brought about the perfect recovery of the denatured and reduced Lyzm probably due to realization of the loosely refolded state of protein molecule.
(3) For the refolding of Streptomyces griseus trypsin (SGT) the solution of triethanolamine or diethanolamine at 1-2 M revealed to be excellent medium whereas urea-LiCl or potassium acetate effective to the refolding of Lyzm or subtilisin BPN', respectively was not useful to the refolding of SGT.Furthermore, it was found that for the refolding of the protease such an additive device as prevention of autolysis guaranteed the increase of the recovery yield beside the selection of refolding media to induce the loosely refolded state of denatured protein molecules.
