Thermodynamic and kinetic examination of protein stabilization by glycerol

Gekko, Kunihiko, Timasheff, Serge N.·1981·Biochemistry

Abstract

The effect of concentrated glycerol on the thermal transitions of chymotrypsinogen and ribonuclease has been examined by differential spectrophotometry at 293 and 287 mm, respectively. It was found that for both proteins addition of glycerol raises the transition temperature, the increase in Tm being greater for ribonuclease than for chymotrypsinogen. This increase in the free energy of denaturation appears to reflect primarily a decrease in the entropy change. Analysis in terms of the Wyman linkage equation shows that, for both proteins, the exclusion of glycerol from the protein domain increases on denaturation i.e., the chemical potential of glycerol becomes even more positive when the protein unfolds relative to the native structure. This provides the thermodynamic stabilization free energy. Results of the kinetic examination of the slow unfolding reaction are consistent with the concept that the preferential exclusion of glycerol is related, at least in part, to enhanced solvent ordering.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
