摘要: The effect of degree saturation concanavalin A with Mn2+ or Ca2+, both, on its thermal denaturation was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Acid-demetallized partly fully remetallized in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) containing 0.4 to 0.5 M NaCl. Under these conditions, native dimeric is highly stable, undergoing heat at 101 degrees C, an enthalpy 7.4 cal/g. Removal metal ions lowered stability considerably; 0.06 Mn2+/monomer and 0.23 Ca2+/monomer (mol/mol) denatured 74 C 3.2 Added stabilized demetallized A, but added Ca2+ alone (up 2 mol/mol monomer) did not. Ca2+/ ratio influenced stabilization Mn2+. In the presence 1 Mn2+/ monomer less (mol/mol), 85-88 94-97 degress indicating two metallo-concanavalin species. At 1.0 more mole each per monomer, one endotherm observed above 98 increased 5.3 cal/g from than 3.6 lower ion/protein ratios. Stabilization greater plus alone, consistent intrasubunit cooperativity ion-induced A.
