摘要: We report an analysis of the pH-dependent dissociation a multimeric metalloprotein, xylose isomerase from Streptomyces rubiginosus (XI), by electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. Xylose isomerases are industrially significant enzymes that catalyze interconversion aldose and ketose sugars. XI is biologically active as approximately 173-kDa tetrameric complex, comprised four identical 43-kDa subunits eight metal cations, unequivocally identified Mg(2+) cations in this work. ESI FT-ICR spectra measured pH range 3.0-6.9 indicated intact holo-tetramer initiated loss all at
