    The objective of this study is to understand the impact of preparation conditions on the physicochemical characteristics of amorphous sugar. Amorphous sugar (alpha-maltose, isomaltulose, trehalose) matrices were pre -pared from alcohol (methanol, ethanol) solutions, and their water sorption behavior and glass transition tem-peratures, Tg, were compared with those of aqueous freeze-dried amorphous sugar. Vacuum-foam-and spray -drying procedures were employed as drying methods. Water sorption for amorphous sugars, dried by different methods, was generally significant in the following order: vacuum-foam-drying < spray-drying <= freeze-drying. In the same order, the Tg values for the thoroughly dried amorphous sugars increased, and water sorption reduced the differences in Tg for given amounts of sorbed water. The solvent type in vacuum-foam-drying slightly affected the water sorption and the dependence of Tg on the sorbed water amount. The obtained findings sug-gested that physicochemical characteristics of amorphous sugar may relate to the sugar molecule conformations in solvent and dried state.

    The interaction forces between silica surfaces with various degrees of hydrophobicity were measured using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy to clarify the relationship between the hydrophobicity of the surfaces and hydrophobic attraction in detail. The interaction forces between silica surfaces pre-hydrophobised with octadecyltrichlorosilane were measured in aqueous solutions with three different (cationic, anionic, and nonionic) surfactants. Hydrophobic attraction was observed between surfaces from 10 to 15 nm without surfactant, and the range of this attraction decreased when the surface hydrophobicity decreased with increasing surfactant concentration. The hydrophobic attraction disappeared when the surface contact angle was below 80°–90° in the presence of all surfactants used in this study. The range of the hydrophobic attraction was found to depend strongly on the contact angle and not on the surfactant type and concentration. The adhesion force was also highly dependent on the contact angle and comparable to the theoretical capillary force. The possible origin of this force is discussed with reference to the obtained results. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

    In this study, hydrophobic surfaces were prepared by depositing polystyrene (PS) on a glass substrate using three different methods to measure the interaction forces against a hydrophobized particle by atomic force microscopy. We found that smooth surfaces prepared by spin coating and living radical polymerization generated hydrophobic attraction, whereas uneven surfaces obtained by free radical polymerization produced only steric repulsion, even though they had sufficient hydrophobicity. Based on these results, the origin of the hydrophobic attraction was suggested.

    A series of edible and non-toxic substances were screened for their ability to prevent Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) from undergoing aggregation during both freeze-thawing and freeze-drying at as low an additive concentration as possible. Gum arabic was found to be an ideal choice. The addition of 20 µg/mL of gum arabic greatly inhibited the aggregation of AuNPs during freeze-thawing and -drying, whereas polyvinylpyrrolidone was the next best among the tested substances, with approximately 20% aggregation during freeze-drying at a concentration of less than 200 µg/mL. The zeta potential value of the AuNPs indicated the absence of the specific binding of gum arabic to the AuNPs surface. Surface enhanced infrared spectroscopic (SEIRAS) analyses were conducted for the gum arabic solution, frozen and freeze-dried on the Au particles. The results indicated that, in the frozen state, gum arabic molecules were concentrated in remaining unfrozen liquid on the Au coating without any specific orientation toward the Au surface. In contrast, SEIRAS spectra of freeze-dried gum arabic indicated that carboxylic groups in gum arabic molecules preferentially became closer to the Au surface. Considering these findings, during freeze-thawing, we conclude that the high thickening property of gum arabic gum plays an important role in minimizing the mobility and thus the aggregation of AuNPs in the freeze-concentrated regions between frozen ice crystals. The freeze-drying of a gum arabic solution produces a rigid amorphous matrix that has an affinity for the Au surface. The AuNPs were individually separated and immobilized in the freeze-dried matrix of the gum arabic, resulting in the extraordinary inhibition of their aggregation.

    Vacuum foam drying offers great perspectives to formulate solid-state encapsulated active drugs. Taking into account the specific need of pharmaceutical formulations to keep drug molecules active and dispersed, we show in this paper that vacuum drying of pharmaceutical formulations can be substantially improved by using original rheological approaches. Typically, our formulations totally dried-up in less than 5 min, a delay much shorter than the long hours of the traditional vacuum drying process. Steady-shear rheology was used to evaluate the solution's specific viscosity against the solutions' concentrations, in order to correlate the dilution regime to the foamabiltiy. This rheological approach indicated that in miscible solutions, spontaneous foaming occurred in the semi-dilute entangled regime, near the transition to the concentrated regime; for partially miscible solutions, it occurred in solutions at a concentration near to the percolation concentration. The proposed methodology is versatile, and should provide a simple way to assess the foamability of pharmaceutical formulations.

    An amorphous solid dispersion technique, in which hydrophobic drug molecules are dispersed in an amorphous matrix comprised solely of a sugar, was applied to curcumin that has excellent physiological functions. The sole-amorphous-sugar-based solid dispersion (SAS-SD) of curcumin was prepared by vacuum foam drying from methanol, using various disaccharides as the drug carrier-forming component. Aqueous dissolution of curcumin from the SAS-SD showed “spring-and-parachute” shape profile and was markedly increased when a sugar (α-maltose or trehalose) was added in a composition range ≥100 g-sugar/g-curcumin. Further dissolution was achieved by heating the SAS-SD at close to and above the melting points of curcumin.

    Optimized conditions are needed to refold recombinant proteins from bacterial inclusion bodies into their biologically active conformations. In this study, we found two crucial requirements for efficient refolding of cationic tetrameric chicken avidin. The first step is to eliminate nucleic acid contaminants from the bacterial inclusion body. The electrostatic interactions between the remaining nucleic acids and proteins strongly enhanced protein aggregation during the refolding process. The cysteine specific reversible S-cationization procedure was successfully employed for large-scale preparation of nucleic acid free denatured protein without purification tag system. The second step is the intramolecular disulfide formation prior to refolding in dialysis removing denaturant. Disulfide intact monomeric avidin showed efficient formation of biologically active tetrameric conformation during the refolding process. Using this optimized refolding procedure, highly cationic avidin derivative designed as an intracellular delivery carrier of biotinylated protein was successfully prepared.

    The effect of the properties of a protein on its adsorption to a metal surface in the presence of external electric potential was investigated. Protein adsorption processes at different surface potentials were measured for fifteen types of proteins using an in-situ ellipsometry. The tested proteins were classified into three groups, based on the amount of protein that was adsorbed as a function of the surface potential: In First group of proteins, an increasing trend for the amount adsorbed with a more positive surface potential was found
    The amount adsorbed of α-chymotrypsinogen A and ribonuclease A (Second group) were roughly constant and independent of the applied surface electric potentials
    In Third group, the amount adsorbed decreased with increasing surface potential. This protein classification was correlated with the isoelectric points of the proteins (First group: ≤9.3
    Second group: 9.3–10
    Third group: &gt
    10). Increasing the pH positively and negatively shifted the surface potentials, allowing ß-lactoglobulin (First group) and lysozyme (Third) to become adsorbed, respectively. The surface potential range for protein adsorption was also markedly shifted depending on the metal substrate type. These findings were interpreted based on the electrostatic interactions among the protein, surface hydroxyl groups, and the applied external electric field.

    The interaction forces between silica surfaces modified to different degrees of hydrophobicity were measured using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). A highly hydrophobic silica particle was prepared with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), and the interaction forces were measured against silica substrates modified to produce surfaces of varying hydrophobicity. The interaction forces between the highly hydrophobic particle and a completely hydrophilic silicon wafer surface fitted well to the DLVO theory, indicating that no additional (non-DLVO) forces act between the surfaces. When the silicon wafer surface was treated to produce a contact angle of water on surface of 40°, an additional attractive force that is longer ranged than the van der Waals force was observed between the surfaces. The range and magnitude of the attractive force increase with the contact angle of water on the substrate. Beyond the effect on the contact angle, the hydrocarbon chain length and the terminal groups of hydrophobic layer on the substrate only have a minor effect on the magnitude of the force, even when the substrate is terminated with polar carboxyl groups, provided the hydrophobicity of the other surface is high.

    Enzymatic cleaning is a potentially useful method for removing proteinaceous fouling from solid surfaces under mild conditions. Herein, the influence of an external electric field on the enzymatic cleaning of a metal surface fouled with a protein was investigated. The model fouling protein (BSA; lysozyme) was prepared on a stainless steel (St) surface, and the resulting surface subjected to enzymatic cleaning with an electric potential being applied to the St plate. Trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and thermolysin were used as model proteases. The amounts of protein remaining on the plate before and during the cleaning process were measured by means of a reflection absorption technique using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the case for BSA fouling, the cleaning efficiency of the protease tended to increase at more negative applied potentials. Whereas, there was an optimum applied potential for removing the lysozyme fouling. Atomic force microscopy analyses indicated that applying an adequate range of electric potential enhanced the enzymatic removal of protein fouling inside scratches on the St plate surface. These findings suggest the existence of two modes of electrostatic interactions for the external electric field, one with protease molecules and the other with digested fragments of the fouling protein.

    Protein-stabilizing characteristics of sixteen proteins during freeze-thawing and freeze-drying were investigated. Five enzymes, each with different instabilities against freezing and dehydration, were employed as the protein to be stabilized. Proteinaceous additives generally resulted in greater enzyme stabilization during freeze-thawing than sugars while the degree of stabilization for basic lysozyme and protamine were inferior to that of neutral and acidic proteins. Freeze-drying-induced inactivation of enzyme was also reduced by the presence of a proteinaceous additive, the extent of which was lower than that for a sugar. In both freeze thawing and freeze drying, the enzymes stabilization by the proteinaceous additive increased with increasing additive concentration. The enhancement of enzyme inactivation caused by pH change was also reduced in the presence of proteinaceous additives. The combined use of a sugar such as sucrose and dextran tended to increase the stabilizing effect of the proteinaceous additive.

    The technique for homogeneously dispersing hydrophobic drugs in a water-soluble solid matrix (solid dispersion) is a subject that has been extensively investigated in the pharmaceutical industry. Herein, a novel technique for dispersing a solid, without the need to use a surfactant, is reported. A freeze-dried amorphous sugar sample was dissolved in an organic solvent, which contained a soluble model hydrophobic component. The suspension of the sugar and the model hydrophobic component was vacuum foam dried to give a solid powder. Four types of sugars and methanol were used as representative sugars and the organic medium. Four model drugs (indomethacin, ibuprofen, gliclazide, and nifedipine) were employed. Differential scanning calorimetry analyses indicated that the sugar and model drug (100:1) did not undergo segregation during the drying process. The dissolution of the hydrophobic drugs in water from the solid dispersion was then evaluated, and the results indicated that the C-max and AUC(0-60) (min) of the hydrophobic drug in water were increased when the surfactant-free solid dispersion was used. Palatinose and/or alpha-maltose were superior to the other tested carbohydrates in increasing C-max and AUC(0-60 min), for all tested model drugs, and the model drug with a lower water solubility tended to exhibit a greater extent of over-dissolution.

    The impact of external electric potential on the adsorption of a protein to base metal surfaces was examined. Hen egg white lysozyme (LSZ) and six types of base metal plates (stainless steel SUS316L (St), Ti, Ta, Zr, Cr, or Ni) were used as the protein and adsorption surface, respectively. LSZ was allowed to adsorb on the surface under different conditions (surface potential, pH, electrolyte type and concentration, surface material), which was monitored using an ellipsometer. LSZ adsorption was minimized in the potential range above a certain threshold and, in the surface potential range below the threshold, decreasing the surface potential increased the amount of protein adsorbed. The threshold potential for LSZ adsorption was shifted toward a positive value with increasing pH and was lower for Ta and Zr than for the others. A divalent anion salt (K2SO4) as an electrolyte exhibited the adsorption of LSZ in the positive potential range while a monovalent salt (KCI) did not. A comprehensive consideration of the obtained results suggests that two modes of interactions, namely the electric force by an external electric field and electrostatic interactions with ionized surface hydroxyl groups, act on the LSZ molecules and determine the extent of suppression of LSZ adsorption, All these findings appear to support the view that a base metal surface can be controlled for the affinity to a protein by manipulating the surface electric potential as has been reported on some electrode materials.

    A solid dispersion technique to homogeneously disperse hydrophobic ingredients in a water-soluble solid without using surfactant was examined as follows: first, freeze-dried amorphous sugar was dissolved in an organic medium that contained a soluble model hydrophobic component. Second, the mixed solution of sugar and the model hydrophobic component was vacuum dried into a solid (solid dispersion). Methanol and six fat-soluble flavours, including cinnamaldehyde, were used as organic media and model hydrophobic components. The retention of flavours in the solid dispersion during drying and storage under vacuum was evaluated. The amorphised disaccharides dissolved in methanol up to 100 mg/mL, even temporarily (20 s to 10 days) and could be solidified without any evidence of crystallisation and segregation from flavour. The solid dispersion, prepared using a-maltose usually showed 65-95% flavour retention during drying (and storage for cinnamaldehyde), whereas &gt;= 50% of the flavour was lost when the flavour was O/W emulsified with a surfactant and then freeze-dried with sugar.

    In immobilizing target biomolecules on a solid surface, it is essential (i) to orient the target moiety in a preferred direction and (ii) to avoid unwanted interactions of the target moiety including with the solid surface. The preferred orientation of the target moiety can be achieved by genetic conjugation of an affinity peptide tag specific to the immobilization surface. Herein, we report on a strategy for reducing the extent of direct interaction between the target moiety and surface in the immobilization of hexahistidine peptide (6His) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) on a hydrophilic polystyrene (PS) surface: Ribonuclease HII from Thermococcus kodakaraensis (cHII) was genetically inserted as a cushion between the PS-affinity peptide tag and target moiety. The insertion of a cushion protein resulted in a considerably stronger immobilization of target biomolecules compared to conjugation with only a PS affinity peptide tag, resulting in a substantially enhanced accessibility of the detection antibody to the target 6His peptide. The fluorescent intensity of the GFP moiety was decreased by approximately 30% as the result of fusion with cHII and the PS-affinity peptide tag but was fully retained in the immobilization on the PS surface irrespective of the increased binding force. Furthermore, the fusion of cHII did not impair the stability of the target GFP moiety. Accordingly, the use of a proteinaceous cushion appears to be promising for the immobilization of functional biomolecules on a solid surface.

    The interaction forces between silanated silica surfaces without nanobubbles were measured using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). To obtain hydrophobic surfaces without nanobubbles, an aqueous solution was introduced between the surfaces following an exchange process involving several solvents. In the obtained approaching force curves, an attractive force was observed from a distance of 10-20 nm, which is an additional attractive force stronger than typical van der Waals attractions. When the surface hydrophobicity decreased, the range of this attraction decreased slightly; the attraction disappeared when the surface contact angle was below 90 degrees. In contrast, measurements in the water-ethanol mixtures revealed that the attraction persisted even when the contact angle was well below 90 degrees. The possible origin of this force was discussed on the basis of the obtained results. (C) 2015 The Society of Powder Technology Japan.

    An amorphous matrix of a sugar is frequently used as a bulk-forming and stabilizing agent in the food industry but tends to crystallize as the result of water uptake and increase in temperature. Additives and methods used to inhibit the crystallization of amorphous sugar (sucrose) were screened in this study. Freeze-dried amorphous sucrose containing 0.5-5 wt% of additive, including salts, different types of sugars, and polymers, the crystallization temperature (T-cry) and isothermal crystallization characteristics were examined. Certain types of salts markedly increased the Tcry and prolonged the induction period for crystal nucleation. The use of 1 wt% MgCl2 was particularly effective in inhibiting sugar crystallization. The heat treatment of crystalline sucrose under appropriate conditions was also found to result in diminished sucrose crystallization. MALDI-TOF mass spectra of the heat-treated sucrose suggested that sucrose derivatives containing multiple pyranose groups were formed, which would closely relate to the crystallization inhibition. Finally, the protein stabilizing effects of the matrices were evaluated. The results indicated that both the addition of additives and the heat treatment resulted in an improvement of the protein stabilizing effect of amorphous sugar matrix, compared to that of sucrose alone.

    The encapsulation of O/W emulsion droplets in a freeze-dried amorphous sugar matrix was investigated, focusing on the impact of the molecular structure of the emulsifying surfactant. O/W emulsions, containing various surfactants, were freeze-dried in the presence of a sugar. Thirty types of surfactants, including eighteen different sugar surfactants and ten types of commercially available sugar ester mixtures, were used. Linoleic acid methyl ester and trehalose were used as the oil phase and sugar. The amounts of oil droplets encapsulated in freeze-dried amorphous sugar matrix were analyzed by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy. Sugar surfactants were generally superior to the other classes of surfactants for oil droplet encapsulation during freeze-drying, and there was the optimum alkyl chain length of the sugar surfactant. Sugar esters generally exhibited greater oil encapsulation than sugar ethers. Larger sugar head group appeared to result in better encapsulation in the case of sugar esters, but the opposite tendency was found for sugar ethers. A limited combination of sugar surfactants (15% sucrose mono- and 85% di-stearate) resulted in the maximum oil droplet encapsulation efficiency although these surfactants are individually quite poor in the encapsulation and other tested combinations did not improve the encapsulation efficiency relative to their individual effectiveness.

    The yield and size distribution of surfactant-free solid lipid nanoparticles (SF-SLNs) formed by hot homogenization were investigated by changing the amount of lipid (palmitic acid). The yield was 100% and monodispersed same-sized particles of 120-200 nm were formed at the lipid amount &lt;= 2.8 x 10(-4) g-lipid (g-water)(-1). The yield decreased owing to phase separation, and the size increased "step-likely" to be 200 350 nm while keeping the monodispersity when the lipid amount was just above &lt;= 2.8 x 10(-4) g-lipid (g-water)(-1). The size and the lipid amount continued to increase gradually at the lipid amount &gt;2.8 x 10(-4) g-lipid (g-water)(-1). The results indicate that submicron-sized solid lipid particles can be formed without surfactants and that the decrease of yield and the step-like increase of particle size occur at the same lipid amount. The total surface area of the SF-SLNs was estimated using the experimental data. It is suggested that the total surface area and the lipid amount are correlated to each other.

    Sugar surfactants with different alkyl chain lengths and sugar head groups were compared for their protein-stabilizing effect during freeze-thawing and freeze-drying. Six enzymes, different in terms of tolerance against inactivation because of freeze-thawing and freeze-drying, were used as model proteins. The enzyme activities that remained after freeze-thawing and freeze-drying in the presence of a sugar surfactant were measured for different types and concentrations of sugar surfactants. Sugar surfactants stabilized all of the tested enzymes both during freeze-thawing and freeze-drying, and a one or two order higher amount of added sugar surfactant was required for achieving protein stabilization during freeze-drying than for the cryoprotection. The comprehensive comparison showed that the C10-C12 esters of sucrose or trehalose were the most effective through the freeze-drying process: the remaining enzyme activities after freeze-thawing and freeze-drying increased at the sugar ester concentrations of 1-10 and 10-100 M, respectively, and increased to a greater extent than for the other surfactants at higher concentrations. Results also indicate that, when a decent amount of sugar was also added, the protein-stabilizing effect of a small amount of sugar ester through the freeze-drying process could be enhanced.

    Amorphous matrices, composed of sugars, are markedly plasticized by moisture uptake, which results in physical instability. Our previous studies, in the compression pressure range 443 MPa, indicated that when a matrix is compressed, the amount of sorbed water at given relative humidities (RHs) decreases, whereas the glass transition temperature (Tg) remains constant. Herein, the effect of higher compression pressures than those used previously was explored to investigate the feasibility of using compression to improve the physical stability of amorphous sugar matrix against water uptake and subsequent collapse. Amorphous sugar samples were prepared by freeze-drying and then compressed at 0-665 MPa, followed by rehumidification at given RHs. The physical stability of the amorphous sugar sample was evaluated by measuring Tg and crystallization temperature (Tcry). The amounts of sorbed water, different in the interaction state, were determined using an FTIR technique. It was found that the compression at pressures of 443 MPa decreased the amount of sorbed water, which is a major factor in plasticization and crystallization, and thus markedly increased the Tg and Tcry relative to that for the uncompressed sample. Hence, the compression at several hundreds MPa appears to be feasible for improving the physical stability of amorphous sugar matrix.

    Effect of the polysaccharide from leaves of Corchorus olitorius L. (PLC) on the freeze-thaw (FT) stability of corn starch gel was studied. PLC was incorporated into the starch gel at 0.7% and total solid was adjusted to 6.0%. The syneresis was measured by the centrifugal-filtration method and, as a result, addition of PLC reduced effectively the syneresis of the starch gel even after 5 FT cycles, which was less than one third that of the normal starch gel. The rheological changes of the starch/PLC gel during the FT treatments were evaluated while the gel remained on the rheometer plate. The starch/PLC gel had less significant changes in the rheological parameters during the FT cycles than starch/guar gum or xanthan gum gel systems. SEM images showed that PLC stabilized the gel matrix surrounding pores, which would contribute to both a lower syneresis production and a higher stability in the rheological behavior at FT. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    The encapsulation of emulsion oil droplets by amorphous sugar matrices, formed by freeze-drying, was investigated, with a focus on the influence of the type of sugar. An oil-in-water emulsion, comprised of linoleic acid methyl ester (LME) and sucrose monolaurate (SML) as an oil phase and surfactant, respectively, were freeze-dried in the presence of different types of sugars. LME-droplet encapsulation during and after freeze-drying were evaluated by FTIR analysis. The loss of LME largely occurred in the early stage of freeze-drying. The size distribution of the encapsulated LME droplets remained unchanged before and after freeze-drying in most cases. The encapsulated fractions of LME droplets could be correlated with the glass transition temperature of the sugars in the fully hydrated state (T-g*), and the existence of an optimum T-g* value for the sugar matrix was predicted. The encapsulation ability of an amorphous sugar matrix was maximized when mono- and polysaccharide were combined so as to give a value for T-g* of approximately -50 degrees C, although, individually, mono- and polysaccharides were quite poor for oil droplet encapsulation. These findings suggest that the structural flexibility of the amorphous sugar matrix is a major determinant in oil droplet encapsulation by an amorphous sugar matrix during freeze-drying.

    An indole compound with a strong purple-red color was produced by boiling a solution of indican under acidic conditions and purified by chromatographies on DEAE-650S Toyopearl TSK-gel and silica-gel columns. The purple-red compound purified was identified as indoxyl red, on the basis of FAB Mass, C-13 NMR, H-1 NMR, UV-visible spectra, and IR spectra. Although indoxyl red was first synthesized by Seidel(9) 70 years ago, very little information has been available on its characteristics. We repot here that the compound was purple-red colored at acidic pH and green at pH 13, and showed antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities to the mouse B cell lymphoma cell line NSF202.

    Amorphous matrices made up of sugar molecules, are frequently used in food and pharmaceutical industries. A drawback to their use is that they are susceptible to collapse, as a result of water uptake and an increase in temperature and subsequently crystallize. Herein, the crystallization characteristics of amorphous sugar (sucrose and alpha-lactose) preparations were analyzed, with the purpose of obtaining knowledge that could lead to the prediction of how long the amorphous state is retained under various conditions. The impact of compression, physical aging and freezing rate on the induction period (t(ind)) for crystallization were examined. Freeze-dried sugar samples were compressed at 74 or 443 MPa (5 min) and then rehumidified at specified RHs. Some freeze-dried sucrose samples were physically aged, and alternatively freeze-drying was conducted under different conditions. The isothermal crystallization of the prepared samples at different temperatures (T), the glass transition and the crystallization temperature (T-cry) were measured, using differential scanning calorimetry. The compression markedly decreased the t(ind), while significantly lowered the hygroscopicity. Physical aging and slower-freezing also shortened the t(ind).

    An amorphous matrix, comprised of sugar molecules, is frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry. An amorphous sugar matrix exhibits high hygroscopicity, and it has been established that the sorbed water lowers the glass transition temperature T-g of the amorphous sugar matrix. It is naturally expected that the random allocation and configuration of sugar molecules would result in heterogeneity of states for sorbed water. However, most analyses of the behavior of water, when sorbed to an amorphous sugar matrix, have implicitly assumed that all of the sorbed water molecules are in a single state. In this study, the states of water molecules sorbed in an amorphous sugar matrix were analyzed by Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy and a Fourier self-deconvolution technique. When sorbed water molecules were classified into five states, according to the extent to which they are restricted, three of the states resulted in a lowering of T-g of an amorphous sugar matrix, while the other two were independent of the plasticization of the matrix. This finding provides an explanation for the paradoxical fact that compression at several hundreds of MPa significantly decreases the equilibrium water content at a given RH, while the T-g remains unchanged.

    Amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized by mixing aqueous solutions of Ca(NO3)(2) and (NH4)(2)-HPO4. Then the particles were matured with sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) at various temperatures. Rod-shaped hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles were formed at maturation temperature &gt;= 40 degrees C. These results indicate that addition of AOT nor during the particles synthesis but during the maturation at more equal critical temperature is a key to form the rod-shaped HAp nanoparticles using AOT.

    We synthesized rod-shaped hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles using sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) as an additive in water without an oil. The length of the particles increases from 40 to 100 nm with increasing the concentration ratio AOT/Ca while maintaining a width of 12 nm. These results indicate that an oil phase is not necessarily needed to form the rod-shaped HAp nanoparticles using AOT.

    An amorphous matrix comprised of sugar molecules are frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry. The compression of the amorphous sugar matrix improves the handling. Herein, the influence of compression on the water sorption of an amorphous sugar matrix was investigated. Amorphous sugar samples were prepared by freeze-drying, using several types of sugars, and compressed at 0-443 MPa. The compressed amorphous sugar samples as well as uncompressed samples were rehumidified at given RHs, and the equilibrium water content and glass transition temperature (T-g) were then measured. Compression resulted in a decrease in the equilibrium water content of the matrix, the magnitude of which was more significant for smaller sized sugars. Diffusivity of water vapor in the sample was also decreased to one-hundredth by the compression. The T-g value for a given RH remained unchanged, irrespective of the compression. Accordingly, the decrease in T-g with increasing water content increased as the result of compression. The structural relaxation of the amorphous sugar matrices were also examined and found to be accelerated to the level of a non-porous amorphous sugar matrix as the result of the compression. The findings indicate that pores contained in freeze-dried sugar samples interfere with the propagation of structural relaxation. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The effects of various additives on the physical properties of an amorphous sugar matrix were compared. Amorphous, sugar-additive mixtures were prepared by freeze-drying and then rehumidified at given RHs. Sucrose and eighteen types of substances were used as the sugar and the additive, respectively, and water sorption, glass-to-rubber transition, and protein stabilization during freeze-drying for the various sucrose-additive mixtures were examined. The additives were categorized into two groups according to their effects on T(g) and water sorption. Presence of polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, and polymers (large-sized additives) resulted in a decrease in equilibrium water content from the ideal value calculated from individual water contents for sucrose and additive, and in contrast, low MW substances containing ionizable groups (small-ionized additives) resulted in an increase. The increase in T(g) by the addition of large-sized additives was significant at the additive contents &gt;50 wt.% whereas the T(g) was markedly increased in the lower additive content by the addition of small-ionized additives. The addition of small-ionized additives enhanced the decrease in T(g) with increasing water content. The protein stabilizing effect was decreased with increasing additive content in the cases of the both groups of the additives.

    A highly efficient method for dyeing textiles with indigo is described. In this method, the substrate, indican is first hydrolyzed at an acidic pH of 3 using an immobilized beta-glucosidase to produce indoxyl, under which conditions indigo formation is substantially repressed. The textile sample is then dipped in the prepared indoxyl solution and the textile is finally exposed to ammonia vapor for a short time, resulting in rapid indigo dyeing. As an enzyme, we selected a beta-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger, which shows a high hydrolytic activity towards indican and was thermally stable at temperatures up to 50-60 degrees C, in an acidic pH region. The A. niger beta-glucosidase, when immobilized on Chitopearl BCW-3001 by treatment with glutaraldehyde, showed an optimum reaction pH similar to that of the free enzyme with a slightly higher thermal stability. The kinetics for the hydrolysis of indican at pH 3, using the purified free and immobilized enzymes was found to follow Michaelis-Menten type kinetics with weak competitive inhibition by glucose. Using the immobilized enzyme, we successfully carried out repeated-batch and continuous hydrolyses of indican at pH 3 when nitrogen gas was continuously supplied to the substrate solution. Various types of model textiles were dyed using the proposed method although the color yield varied, depending on the type of textile used. (C) 2010, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.

    "H2O2-electrolysis" treatment is an alternative method for removing proteinaceous materials that are adsorbed to metal surfaces. The method is based on the generation of hydroxyl radicals by electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide and the subsequent decomposition of organic substances adhering to the metal surface. We herein investigated the influence of some parameters on the kinetics of protein removal by H2O2-electrolysis. These parameters included the properties of proteins and the type of metal surface. Sixteen types of proteins and nine types of metal surfaces were used. The removal of adsorbed protein from a metal surface during the treatment was monitored by ellipsometry. Apparent first-order rate constants for removal, k(cl), for various adsorption and treatment conditions were determined. The k(cl) value varied markedly with the type of protein and was also influenced by the pH used in the adsorption. The isoelectric point (pI) of protein used was found to be a major factor. The amount of adsorbed protein removed by a unit amount of (OH)-O-center dot was larger for a metal surface with a lower pI. The impact of the properties of the protein and metal surface on the removal kinetics are discussed, focusing on relationships with the adsorption characteristics of the protein.

    We cultivated a filamentous fungus, Aspergillus oryzae IAM 2706 by three different cultivation methods, i.e., shaking-flask culture (SFC), agar-plate culture (APC), and membrane-surface liquid culture (MSLC), to elucidate the differences of its behaviors by different cultivation methods under the same media, by measuring the growth, secretion of proteases and alpha-amylase, secreted protein level, and gene transcriptional profile by the DNA microarray analysis. The protease activities detected by MSLC and APC were much higher than that by SFC, using both modified Czapek-Dox (mCD) and dextrin-peptone-yeast extract (DPY) media. The alpha-amylase activity was detected in MSLC and APC in a much larger extent than that in SFC when DPY medium was used. On the basis of SDS-PAGE analyses and N-terminal amino acid sequences, 6 proteins were identified in the supernatants of the culture broths using DPY medium, among which oryzin (alkaline protease) and alpha-amylase were detected at a much higher extent for APC and MSLC than those for SFC while only oryzin was detected in mCD medium, in accordance with the activity measurements. A microarray analysis for the fungi cultivated by SFC, APC, and MSLC using mCD medium was carried out to elucidate the differences in the gene transcriptional profile by the cultivation methods. The gene transcriptional profile obtained for the MSLC sample showed a similar tendency to the APC sample while it was quite different from that for the SFC sample. Most of the genes specifically transcribed in the MSLC sample versus those in the SFC sample with a 10-fold up-regulation or higher were unknown or predicted proteins. However, transcription of oryzin gene was only slightly up-regulated in the MSLC sample and that of alpha-amylase gene, slightly down-regulated. (C) 2009, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.

    An amorphous matrix comprised of sugar molecules is used as excipient and stabilizing agent for labile ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry. The amorphous sugar matrix is often compressed into a tablet form to reduce the volume and improve handling. Herein, the effect of compression on the crystallization behavior of an amorphous sucrose matrix was investigated. Amorphous sucrose samples were prepared by freeze-drying and compressed under different conditions, followed by analyses by differential scanning calorimetry, isothermal crystallization tests, X-ray powder diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas pycnometry. The compressed sample had a lower crystallization temperature and a shorter induction period for isothermal crystallization, indicating that compression facilitates the formation of the critical nucleus of a sucrose crystal. Based on FTIR and molecular dynamics simulation results, the conformational distortion of sucrose molecules due to the compression appears to contribute to the increase in the free energy of the system, which leads to the facilitation of critical nucleus formation. An isothermal crystallization test indicated an increase in the growth rate of sucrose crystals by the compression. This can be attributed to the transformation of the microstructure from porous to nonporous, as the result of compression.

    The cathodic electrolysis of H2O2 (H2O2 + e(-) -&gt; OH- + (OH)-O-center dot) on a metal surface in the presence of calcium and phosphate ions results in the formation of calcium phosphate deposits oil the metal surface. In this Study, the deposits formed under various treatment conditions (pHs, concentrations and ratios of calcium/phosphate ions, and so on) were characterized by scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM). and X-ray diffractometry. The exclusive formation of hydroxyapatite, HAP, was observed under comparatively narrow conditions (pH 3-4, [Ca+]/[PO43-] = 25 mM/15 mM), which is clearly different from the reported conditions for the deposition of HAP on titanium substrates. HAP was deposited in the form of a layer. comprised of morphologically amorphous HAP flakes that were less than 20 nm thick. SEM and FTIR analyses of the deposit at different stages of H2O2-electrolysis revealed that a few dozen nanometer-sized spheres of amorphous calcium phosphate were formed in the first step and then fused with each other to form ribbon-like flakes of HAP or broken glass-like brushite, depending on the pH. The pH for HAP formation oil a stainless steel surface was markedly lower than that used for titanium, and the observed process by which amorphous calcium phosphate is converted to HAP was markedly different from that for the electrochemical deposition (electrolysis of water) of HAP on a titanium substrate.

    Heat-induced changes in secondary structures of five proteins (bovine serum albumin, BSA; human serum albumin, HSA; myoglobin; ribonuclease A, RNase A; and, beta-lactoglobulin, beta-Lg) in an amorphous sugar matrix were analyzed by temperature-scanning Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to elucidate the mechanism of heat-induced conformational change of solid-phase proteins. Three sugars, trehalose, maltose, and dextran (MW 6000), were used. Loss of alpha-helices due to increasing temperature was observed for BSA, HSA, and myoglobin, which are rich in a-helices. RNase A showed a marked decrease in predominant secondary structural components (beta-sheet) with increasing temperature. However, no noticeable changes in the content of secondary structures, except for a slight loss of alpha-helices, were observed for beta-Lg, which is also beta-sheet-rich. These heat-induced conformational changes were significant at temperatures above the glass transition temperature. The heat-induced conformational change in BSA dried with sugar appeared time-independent and was clearly different from that due to dehydration and from the thermal conformational change for a solution of BSA. In particular, differences in secondary structural components that increased due to loss of alpha-helices were noted.

    We report here on the purification, characterization, molecular cloning, and expression of a new aminoacylase, initially isolated from the supernatant of Streptomyces mobaraensis (Sm-AA). Purified wild-type Sm-AA was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 55kDa. The cloned gene of Sm-AA contained an ORF of 1,383 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 460 amino acids. A BLAST search revealed that Sm-AA belongs to the peptidase M20 family, with identities to a hypothetical protein from Streptomyces pristinaespiralis, a putative peptidase from Streptomyces averinitilis, peptidase M20 from Frankia sp., succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase from Hemophilus influenzae, and aminoacylase-1 from porcine kidney at 89, 88, 67, 29, and 25% respectively. The Sm-AA gene was subcloned into an expression vector, pSH19, and was expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The amount of the recombinant Sm-AA expressed in the S. lividans cells was approximately 42-fold higher than that of Sm-AA found in the supernatant of S. mobaraensis. Sm-AA showed high hydrolytic activity towards various N-acetyl-L-amino acids and N-(middle/long)-chain-fatty-acyl-L-amino acids, with a preference for the acyl derivatives of L-Met, L-Ala, L-Cys, etc. with an optimum pH and temperature for reaction of about 7.5 and 50 degrees C (at pH 7.5).

    epsilon-Lysine acylase from Streptomyces mobaraensis (Sm-ELA), which specifically catalyzes hydrolysis of the epsilon-amide bond in various N epsilon-acyl-L-lysines, was cloned and sequenced. The Sm-ELA gene consists of a 1617-bp open reading frame that encodes a 538-amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 55,816 Da. An NCBI protein-protein BLAST search revealed that the enzyme belongs to the YtcJ-like metal-dependent amidohydrolase family, which is further characterized as the metallo-dependent hydrolase superfamily. The Sm-ELA gene was ligated into a pUC702 vector for expression in Streptomyces lividans TK24. Expression of recombinant Sm-ELA in S. lividans was approximately 300-fold higher than that in wild-type S. mobaraensis. The recombinant Sm-ELAs from the cell-free extract and Culture supernatant were purified to homogeneity. The specific activities of the purified Sm-ELAs were 2500-2800 U/mg, which were similar to that obtained for the wild-type Sm-ELA. Using the cell-free extract of the recombinant S. lividans cells, N epsilon-lauroyl-L-lysine was synthesized from 500 mM L-lysine hydrochloride and 50, 100, or 250 mM lauric acid in an aqueous buffer Solution at 37 degrees C. The yields were close to 100% after 6 and 9 1) of reaction for 50 and 100 mM lauric acid, respectively. and 90% after 24 h for 250 mM lauric acid. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Proteome analysis plays a key role in the elucidation of the functions and applications for numerous proteins. For proteome analyses, various microplate- and microarray-based techniques have been developed by a number of researchers. Their intent was to immobilize proteins on the surface of a solid substrate in a site-directed manner while retaining structure and native biological function. In this review, we focus on recent advances in immobilization methodology for proteins/enzymes on a surface, including those using the affinity peptides screened by random peptide library systems. We also discuss applications of the affinity peptide-mediated immobilization method in fields related to proteome analysis, particularly our recent work concerning immunoassay and protein-protein interaction analysis. ©2008 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.

    Adsorption characteristics of 18 proteins, with different sizes and isoelectric points, to a titanium oxide surface were studied. The adsorption isotherms were categorized based on protein type and pH: type 1, irreversible adsorption; type 2, Langmuir-type reversible adsorption; and type 3, reversible and irreversible adsorption. Most of the proteins tested were irreversibly adsorbed in the pH range of 3-8, whereas most adsorbed reversibly at pH 8.5-9.4. Protamine, with a pI value of 12, adsorbed reversibly in the pH range of 3-9. pH values that gave maximal sums of irreversibly and reversibly adsorbed proteins were in the pH range of 3-8 and tended to increase slightly with the pI value of the corresponding protein. pH values that gave maximal quantities of irreversibly adsorbed protein ranged between 4-6 and were nearly independent of pI.

    True density of an amorphous matrix represents the state of molecular packing in the matrix, which is closely related to the physical/chemical properties of the material. Dry gas pycnometry is one possible technique for measuring the true density of an amorphous sugar matrix prepared by freeze-drying. We herein report on the influence of conditions used for pycnometry on the measured density value and propose a protocol for obtaining the true density. The technique is sufficiently accurate to permit values for matrices comprised of different types of sugar to be compared. Using the protocol, the true densities of several amorphous sugar samples containing different types of sugar, freeze-drying conditions (temperature and sugar concentration at the time of freezing of an aqueous sugar solution), pretreatment (compaction and grind) were determined and the results were compared. A model for simulating an amorphous matrix of sugar (trehalose) was constructed using molecular dynamics/mechanics calculations, and the true density of the simulated sugar matrix was found to agree with the value experimentally determined using the proposed protocol. The relationship among the true density, the states of intermolecular interactions, and strain of sugar molecules in the matrix are discussed using the simulated amorphous sugar matrix.

    The characteristics of hydrogen bond formation between trehalose and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in amorphous mixtures at different hydration states were quantitatively investigated. Amorphous trehalose-PVP mixtures were prepared by freeze-drying and equilibrated at different relative humidities (RH). Infrared (IR) spectra of the trehalose-PVP mixtures were obtained by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy,(FTIR) and the IRband corresponding to C=O groups of PVP was deconvolved into the component bands responsible for C=O groups that were free and restricted by hydrogen bonds, to estimate the degree of the trehalose-PVP interactions. The FTIR analysis indicated that approximately 80% of the C=O groups of PVP formed hydrogen bonds with trehalose in the presence of more than 3 g of trehalose per gramme of PVP, independent of the RH. IR analysis of the O-H stretching vibration of the sugar demonstrated that the presence of PVP lead to an increase in the free hydroxyl groups of trehalose that did not form hydrogen bonds at RH 0%. On the other hand, the water sorption behavior of the trehalose-PVP mixtures suggested that rehumidification diminished the effect of PVP on increasing the free OH groups. Thus a peculiar relationship may exist between T-g, RH and the composition of the mixture: The presence of PVP increased T-g at RHs 0 and above 23% but decreased T-g at 11%.

    The impact of a polymer additive (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) on hydrogen bonding in amorphous sugar matrices as well as on the glass transition temperature, T-g, were examined by temperature scanning Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TS-FTIR). An amorphous sugar matrix containing PVP was prepared by air-drying an aqueous solution of a sugar-PVP mixture. The hydrogen bonds in the sugar-PVP mixture (sugar-PVP and sugar-sugar hydrogen bonds) were analyzed from the IR peak positions corresponding to the stretching vibration of C=O groups of PVP and O-H groups of the sugar and the temperature dependence of the peak position of the O-H stretching vibration band. The addition of PVP to amorphous mono and disaccharides significantly lowered the extent of hydrogen bond formation while interactions between sugars and the PVP tended to prevent the disruption of hydrogen bonds due to increasing temperature, the magnitude of which was larger for larger oligomers. The T-g value for the amorphous sugar was increased by the addition of PVP in many cases. As the size of sugar molecule became larger, the relative magnitude of the increased T-g by PVP to the difference between the T-g values for sugar alone and PVP alone became larger and then reached a certain level; it was slight in the case of glucose. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the magnitude of the impact of PVP on an amorphous sugar matrix strongly vary and are dependent on the types of sugar.

    In an amorphous mixture of sugar and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), PVP carbonyl groups form hydrogen bonds with sugar hydroxyl groups, thereby improving the physical stability of the amorphous matrix against a glass-to-rubber transition. Herein, Fourier self-deconvolved IR bands due to the C=O stretching vibration of PVP in sugar-PVP mixtures were analyzed. The C=O groups in sugar-PVP mixtures generally had four vibrational states, corresponding with free and hydrogen-bonded C=O in three different modes. Changes in these vibrational states induced by increasing the temperature were compared among various sugar-PVP mixtures. Formation and thermal disruption characteristics of different modes of sugar-PVP hydrogen bondings are discussed.

    A Ser/Thr phosphatase gene cloned from Aspergillus oryzae, aoppt, revealed that the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) and catalytic domains of the full-length AoPPT are located at the N- and C-terminal regions, respectively, similar to those of human Ser/Thr phosphatase 5 (PP5) and yeast Ppt1. Four different regions of AoPPT, namely, a full-length polypeptide, the catalytic domain, the catalytic domain plus C-terminal 15 amino-acid residues and the TPR domain were expressed in Escherichia coli and their roles in dephosphorylation activity were examined, using p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate. The full-length AoPPT showed the highest dephosphorylation activity while the catalytic domain had the lowest activity. The activity of the catalytic domain was not inhibited by the presence of the TPR domain and arachidonic acid did not increase the activity of the full-length enzyme. These findings suggest that the integrity of the entire enzyme would be necessary for its full activity to be expressed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    We report on the molecular cloning and characterization of penicillin V acylase (PVA) from an actinomycete, Streptomyces mobaraensis (Sm-PVA), which was originally isolated as an acylase that efficiently hydrolyzes the amide bond of various N-fatty-acyl-L-amino acids and N-fatty-acyl-peptides as well as capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide). In addition, the purified Sm-PVA hydrolyzed penicillin V with the highest activity (k(cat)) among the PVAs so far reported, penicillin G, and 2-nitro-5-phenoxyacetamide benzoic acid. The BLAST search revealed that the Sm-PVA precursor is composed of a polypeptide that is characteristic of enzymes belonging to the beta-lactam acylase family with four distinct segments; a signal sequence (43 amino acids), an a subunit (173 amino acids), a linker peptide (28 amino acids), and a beta subunit (570 amino acids). The mature, active Sm-PVA is a heterodimeric protein with alpha and beta subunits, in contrast to PVAs isolated from Bacillus sphaericus and B. subtilis, which have a homotetrameric structure. The amino acid sequence of Sm-PVA showed identities to PVA from S. lavendulae, N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading acylase from Streptomyces sp., cyclic lipopeptide acylase from Streptomyces sp., and aculeacin A acylase from Actinoplanes utahensis with 68, 67, 67, and 41% identities, respectively.

    A sandwich ELISA method using peptide tags showing a specific affinity to a hydrophilic polystyrene surface (PS-tags), PS 19 composed of RAFIASRRIKRP and KPS19R10 of KRAFIASRRIRRP and a hydrophilic polystyrene (phi-PS) plate was used to analyze protein-protein interactions. An Escherichia coli cysteine synthase complex, in which serine acetyltransferase (SAT) interacts with O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A (OASS) was used as a model system. When the interaction was detected by the conventional sandwich ELISA method using a hydrophobic polystyrene (pho-PS) plate, for the exclusive use of ELISA, the signal intensity was barely detectable due to conformational change of the ligand protein, OASS in the adsorbed state. On the contrary, when OASS, genetically fused with PS19 (OASS-PS19) or chemically conjugated with KPS19R10 (OASS-KPS19R10), was immobilized on the phi-PS plate, a high signal intensity was detected. Furthermore, by applying the two-step sandwich ELISA, in which OASS-PS19 or OASS-KPS19R10 formed a complex with SAT in the blocking solution before immobilization on the phi-PS plate, the signal intensity was further increased with a much shorter operational time, because SAT in the blocking solution formed a complex with OASS-PS19 or OASS-KPS19R10 without any steric hindrance.

    The adsorption characteristics of octapeptides, containing different numbers of aspartic acid, lysine, and alanine residues (i.e., D(4)K(0)A(4), D(4)K(1)A(3), D(4)K(3)A(1), D(4)K(4)A(0), and D(0)K(4)A(4)) on the surface of titanium (Ti) particles were investigated in the pH range of 3.0-8.8 at 30 degrees C. The adsorption isotherms for octapeptides having four plural aspartic acid residues with or without lysine residues showed two distinct adsorption modes, i.e., irreversible and reversible modes, at pHs 3.0-6.5; at pH 7.0 or higher, the adsorption mode was reversible. Increasing the number of lysine residues at a fixed number of aspartic acid residues (i.e., 4) decreased the amount of peptides adsorbed in both modes. D(4)K(4)A(0) adsorbed irreversibly at pHs 3.0-6.5, due to the fact that negatively charged carboxyl groups directly interact with a positively charged Ti surface, whereas positively charged amino groups of lysine residues are directed in an opposite direction toward the solution side, as predicted by molecular mechanics/dynamics calculations.

    Glutathione S-transferase genetically fused with an affinity peptide tag, PS 19 (RAFIASRRIKRP) having a specific affinity for a hydrophilic polystyrene (PS) surface, was preferentially immobilized on a hydrophilic PS (phi-PS) plate without suffering from interference by coexisting protein molecules. Furthermore, rabbit IgG chemically conjugated with a peptide, KPS 19R10, in which (10)Lys in PS 19 was replaced with Arg and one Lys residue was added at the N-terminus as a coupling site for glutaraldehyde, showed a higher immobilization affinity to the phi-PS plate than that conjugated with the PS 19 peptide. On the basis of these findings, the use of a phi-PS plate and peptide tag-linked ligand proteins permitted a one-step or two-step enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay (ELISA) to be achieved, resulting in a substantial reduction in operational time compared with the conventional ELISA method using a hydrophobic PS (pho-PS) plate, while maintaining a high sensitivity. Furthermore, the sensitivity was increased to a greater extent compared to the conventional ELISA meihod when the one-step ELISA was applied to the detection of bovine insulin in a sandwich mode, due to the reduced number of washing and incubation steps. The method proposed here would be a versatile method for use in various ELISA techniques such as sandwich and competitive ELISAs using an antigen, an antibody and streptavidin that are genetically fused or chemically conjugated with the PS-specific affinity peptide as the ligand protein.

    The effects of different types of supporting electrolytes on the removal of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) after being adsorbed to a stainless steel surface by a H2O2-electrolysis treatment was investigated. In this process, hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH), generated by the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide, decompose the substances adhering to the surface. The removal of the adsorbed protein from the stainless steel surface during the treatment was monitored in situ by ellipsometry. The apparent first-order removal rate constants, k(cl), for 17 types of supporting electrolytes were determined, as well as the current corresponding to the rate of generation of center dot OH. The kcl and generated current values for LiCl, NaCl, KCl, KNO3, K2SO4, CH3COOK, and K2CO3 were all similar. Ca2+ and Mg2+ strongly suppressed the removal of the adsorbed protein. The presence of ammonium compounds led to an increase in kcl and current values. In H2O2-electrolysis in the presence of potassium phosphate, the removal was extremely rapid, and an apparent increase in the thickness of the adsorbed layer was observed. The mechanisms responsible for the peculiar effects of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and ammonium compounds were investigated by means of a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis, as well as by the characteristics of the removal under different treatment conditions.

    Temperature scanning Fourier transform infrared, TS-FTIR, spectroscopy of various amorphous sugar matrixes was conducted to investigate the relationship between the glass transition temperature, T-g, of an amorphous sugar matrix and the nature of the hydrogen bonds in the matrix. An amorphous sugar matrix was prepared by air-drying an aqueous solution of sugar, and the degree of formation of hydrogen bonds in the matrix was evaluated at different temperatures using the peak positions of the IR band corresponding to the O-H stretching vibration at around 3400 cm(-1). The T-g value increased with increasing peak position of the O-H stretching vibration at T-g and were correlated reasonably well with the magnitude of the peak shift by the temperature increase (from 25 degrees C) to the T-g value. This demonstrates that the amorphous sugar matrix, in which the segments are fixed by fewer hydrogen bonds, has a higher thermal resistance. The glycosidic linkage largely contributes to the restriction of the segments, pyranose ring, rather than a hydrogen bond. As the degree of polymerization of pyranose rings increases, the degree of hydrogen bond formation needed to hold the matrix in a fixed position decreases. However, the magnitude of the restriction of pyranose rings by a glycosidic linkage changes depending on the type: the restrictions imposed by alpha-1,1 and -1,6 glycosidic linkages are the tightest and most flexible of all of the types of glycosidic linkages, respectively.

    O-Acetylserine sulfhydrylase-B (OASS-B, EC 2.5.1.47) is one of the two isozymes produced by Escherichia coli that catalyze the synthesis Of L-Cysteine from O-acetyl- L-serine and sulfide. The cysM gene encoding OASS-B was cloned and the enzyme was overexpressed in E coli using pUC19 with a lacUV5 promoter. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity, as evidenced by SDS-PAGE. Approximately 300 mg of purified OASS-B was obtained from 1600 mL of culture broth with a purification yield of 60% or higher. The purified OASS-13 was characterized and its properties compared with OASS-A. OASS-13 did not form a complex with E. coli serine acetyltransferase (SAT, EC 2.3.1.30) and showed a wide range of substrate specificity in nonproteinaceous amino acid synthesis.

    beta-Lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) is a major constituent of fouling deposits in the dairy industry. To determine the interaction between beta-Lg and stainless steel surfaces, beta-Lg irreversibly adsorbed on stainless steel particles was subjected to lysyl endopeptidase treatment and the course of fragmentation was compared with that observed for beta-Lg in solution. The results showed a distinct difference between the courses of fragmentation: a fragment (residues 102-135) was liberated readily from beta-Lg in solution but scarcely from beta-Lg irreversibly adsorbed on stainless steel particles. This result strongly suggests that residues 102-135 include a segment primarily responsible for the interaction of beta-Lg with stainless steel surfaces. This supports our previous results [Sakiyama et al., J. Biosci. Bioeng., 88, 536-541 (1999)] that showed that residues 125-135 of beta-Lg have a strong affinity toward stainless steel surfaces and probably a major contribution to the adsorption of beta-Lg.

    Dodecapeptides that exhibit a high affinity specific to a polystyrene surface (PS-tags) were screened using an Escherichia coli random peptide display library system, and the compounds were used as a peptide tag for the site-specific immobilization of proteins. The various PS-tags obtained after 10 rounds of biopanning selection were mainly composed of basic and aliphatic amino acid residues, most of which were arranged in close proximity to one another. Mutant-type glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) fused with the selected PS-tags. PS19 (RAFIASRRIKRP) and PS23 (AGLRLKKAAIHR) at their C-terminus, GST-PS19 and GST-PS23, when adsorbed on the PS latex beads had a higher affinity than the wild-type GST, and the specific remaining activity of the immobilized mutant-type GSTs was approximately 10 times higher than that of the wild-type GST. The signal intensity detected for GST-PS19 and GST-PS23 adsorbed on hydrophilic and hydrophobic PS surfaces using an anti-peptide antibody specific for the N-terminus peptide of GST was much higher than that for the wild-type GST. These findings indicate that the mutant-type GSTs fused with the selected peptide tags, PS19 and PS23, could be site-specifically immobilized on the surface of polystyrene with their N-terminal regions directed toward the solution. Thus, the selected peptide tags would be useful for protein immobilization in the construction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems and protein-based biochips.

    Cysteine synthase from Escherichia coli is a bienzyme complex comprised of serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase A. The site of interaction of a SAT molecule was investigated by gel chromatography and surface plasmon technique using various mutant-type SATs, to better understand the mechanism involved in complex formation. The C-terminus of SAT, Ile 273, along with Glu 268 and Asp 271, was found to be essential for complex formation. The effects of O-acetyl-L-serine and sulfide on the affinity for the complex formation were also studied using a surface plasmon technique. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    A novel enzyme that catalyzes efficient hydrolysis of capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces mobaraensis. The enzyme consisted of two dissimilar subunits with molecular masses of 61 and 19 kDa. The enzyme was activated and stabilized in the presence of Co2+. It showed a pH optimum of about 8 and was stable at temperatures of up to 55 degrees C for 1 h at pH 7.8. The specific activity of the enzyme for the hydrolysis of capsaicin was 10(2)-10(4) times higher than those for the enzymes reported to date. In an aqueous/n-hexane biphasic system, capsaicin analogues such as octanoyl, decanoyl, and lauroyl vanillylamides were synthesized from the corresponding fatty acids and vanillylamine at yields of 50% or greater. In addition, the enzyme catalyzed the deacylation of N-lauroyl-L-amino acids and N-lauroyl-L-dipeptides and the efficient synthesis of N alpha-lauroyl-L-lysine, N epsilon-lauroyl-L-lysine, and various N-lauroyl-peptides in aqueous solution in both the absence and the presence of glycerol.

    A novel aminoacylase was purified to homogeneity from culture broth of Streptomyces mobaraensis, as evidenced by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The enzyme was a monomer with an approximate molecular mass of 100 kDa. The purified enzyme was inhibited by the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline and activated by the addition of Co2+. It was stable at temperatures of up to 60 degrees C for 1 h at pH 7.2. It showed broad substrate specificity to N-acetylated L-amino acids. It catalyzed the hydrolysis of the amide bonds of various N-acetylated L-amino acids, except for N epsilon-acetyl-L-lysine and N-acetyl-L-proline. Hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-methionine and N-acetyl-L-histidine followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with K-m values of 1.3 +/- 0.1 mm and 2.7 +/- 0.1 mm respectively. The enzyme also catalyzed the deacetylation of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) and cephalosporin C. Moreover, feruloyl-amino acids and L-lysine derivatives of ferulic acid derivatives were synthesized in an aqueous buffer using the enzyme.

    Adsorption characteristics of carboxylic acids, amines, an octapeptide composed of four L-alanine and four L-aspartic acid residues (Peptide-A(4)D(4)), and beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) on tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), and zirconium (Zr) particles were examined at 30 degrees C and in some case, were compared with their adsorption onto SUS316L stainless steel particles (S6L). The adsorption isotherms on the Ta, Ti, and Zr particles could usually be expressed either by a Langmuir-type equation for reversible adsorption or by a modified Langmuir-type adsorption equation including terms for both reversible and irreversible adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium of benzoic acid, benzylamine, and m-xylylenediamine on all the metal surfaces followed a Langmuir-type equation, while those of phthalic acid, mellitic acid, and Peptide-A(4)D(4) could be fitted to the modified Langmuir-type adsorption equation. The adsorption characteristics of different adsorbates on the different surfaces were discussed particularly with reference to the pH dependencies of the q(irrev), q(rev), and K values and the electrostatic properties of the oxidized surface of the metal particles. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses using a reflection/absorption technique (RA-IR) indicated that phthalic acid and mellitic acid are adsorbed in similar adsorption states irrespective of the type of metal. beta-Lg was adsorbed onto the surfaces principally in an irreversible manner. The desorption behavior of beta-Lg from Ta, Ti, and S6L surfaces was examined, in order to evaluate the extent of interaction between beta-Lg and the metals. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

    alpha-Glucosidase was produced using recombinant Aspergillus oryzae by membrane-surface liquid culture (MSLC), a method previously developed by the authors and the results compared with other methods, including shaking flask culture (SFC), agar-plate culture (APC), culture on urethane sponge supports (USC), and liquid surface culture (LSC) to determine possible reasons for the advantageous features of MSLC. When yeast extract was used as a nitrogen source, the amount of enzyme produced by MSLC was 5 or more times higher than those for SFC and LSC, but similar to that using APC. Enzyme production in USC was slightly lower than in MSLC and APC. Cell growth was similar irrespective of the cultivation method used. When NaNO3, a typical inorganic nitrogen source was used, enzyme production in all the cultures was lower than that using yeast extract. However, even using NaNO3, the amount of the enzyme produced by MSLC was 8 to 20 times higher than those by SFC, APC, USC, and LSC. Although Cell growth using NaNO3 was similar to that for yeast extract in MSLC, it was markedly decreased in SFC, APC, and LSC. The reason for the difference in enzyme productivity for various cultivation methods using yeast extract and NaNO3 as a nitrogen source is discussed, on the basis of the experimental findings. The role of the oxygen transfer effect and gene expression levels in enzyme production were also examined.

    beta-(Pyrazol-1-yl)-L-alanine (beta-PA), a model nonproteinaceous amino acid, was specifically synthesized by two methods using recombinant Escherichia coli cells that express cysteine synthase, comprising serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A (OASS-A) and related enzymes from E. coli. In the first method (method A), recombinant cells that express wildtype SAT, OASS-A, acetate kinase (AK), and phosphotransacetylase (PTA) showed the highest beta-PA production. beta-PA was produced at 140 mM from 200 MM L-serine and 200 mM pyrazole under optimum conditions. Using the cells expressing SATDeltaC20 (truncated SAT), OASS-A, AK, and PTA, beta-PA was produced at a level of only 80 mM, whereas O-acetyl-serine (OAS) was found to be secreted into the broth. Under optimum conditions, OAS accumulated at levels of around 105 mM from 300 mM L-serine. Thus, in the second method (method B), the secreted OAS was used as the substrate for the syntheses of beta-PA and beta-(triazol-1-yl)-L-alanine (beta-TA). The OAS that accumulated in the broth was efficiently converted to beta-PA and beta-TA at levels of around 90 mM from 105 mM OAS using free OASS-A. In both methods A and B, the addition of glucose was essential for the efficient production of beta-PA and OAS, respectively.

    We have developed a novel technique for removing organic soilings from metal surfaces using hydroxy radicals (·OH). In the cleaning system, a metal surface fouled with organic soilings is made to contact with an aqueous solution containing hydrogen peroxide and supporting electrolyte. A slightly negative potential is then applied into the metal. The ·OHs, which are generated by the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2+e--ē·OH+OH”) on the metal surface, effectively attack and subsequently remove the adsorbed organic soils. In this study, the removal behavior of model organic soilings (protein) during the H2O2-electrolysis cleaning using different types and concentrations of supporting electrolyte was investigated. The presence of ammonium compounds and potassium phosphate led to marked increase in the removal rate. The influences of the types of metal substrate and adsorbed material on the removal behavior were also investigated, which suggested that the adsorption state of organic soiling on a metal surface strongly affect the removal characteristics. Furthermore, the removal rates in the presence of various organic coexisting materials were investigated. It was found that the removal rate constant was only slightly lowered in many cases. © 2008, Japan Society for Food Engineering. All rights reserved.

    A novel method for generating hydroxyl radicals, ·OH, was developed, by applying slightly negative electric potentials (-0.2 ∼ -0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl) to the surface of a metal in contact with a hydrogen peroxide solution containing a supporting electrolyte. Namely, ·OH radicals are generated at the surface by the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation, H2O2 + e- -> ·OH + OH-. In this study, the kinetics of the removal of a model proteinaceous soiling (ß-lactoglobulin, ß-Lg) adsorbed to a stainless steel surface by the H2O2-electrolysis treatment were investigated. The rate of removal of the adsorbed ß-Lg from the stainless steel surface during the treatment was monitored in situ by ellipsometry, and the dependencies of the removal rate on H2O2 concentration, the electric potential applied to the surface, and the concentration and type of supporting electrolyte were examined.

    The effects of water activity (A(w)) and lipid addition on the secondary structure of powdery zein were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Two fatty acid esters, i.e., the linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl esters (LAE and EPE), were mixed with the zein powder. The powders were stored in the "dry" state (with silica gel) and the "humid" state (A(w) = 0.9). The powdery zein without the lipids was shown to have a high content of the intermolecular hydrogen-bonded beta-sheet in the "dry" state, indicating the presence of protein aggregates. An increase in AW induced a decrease in this beta-sheet, concomitant with increases in the alpha-helix and beta-turn structures. The addition of LAE caused decreases in the alpha-helix and intermolecular hydrogen-bonded beta-sheet of zein when the powder was stored in the "humid" state, suggesting the strong interaction of LAE and zein molecules. However, LAE did not affect the secondary structure of zein in the "dry" state. The addition of EPE hardly influenced the secondary structure of zein, irrespective of A(w). These results are discussed in relation to the antioxidative activity of zein in the powder system, which had studied previously.

    N-Medium- and long-chain acyl-L-amino acids were enzymatically synthesized from the corresponding L-amino acids and fatty acids using a reverse hydrolysis. Enzymes that are suitable for the synthetic reaction of N-acyl-L-amino acids were screened on the basis of hydrolytic activity toward N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid as an indicator. Acylase I from pig kidney (EC 3.5.1.14) showed the highest N-acyl-L-amino acid hydrolytic activity among 57 commercially available enzymes tested. Acylase I effectively catalyzed the synthesis of N-lauroyl-L-amino acids except for N-lauroyl-L-proline and N-lauroyl-L-tyrosine in a glycerol-water system. Under the optimized reaction conditions, N-lauroyl-L-arginine and N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid were obtained in conversions of 82 and 44%, respectively. The equilibrium constants calculated from the conversion obtained were 5.6, 15.4, 18.0, and 39.4 for the syntheses of N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid, N.-lauroyl-L-lysine, N-lauroyl-L-glutamine, and N-lauroyl-L-methionine, respectively. N-Acyl-L-arginines with myristic acid and palmitic acid as the fatty acid were also synthesized using acylase I.

    Relationship between thermal stabilizing effect of sugar on freeze-dried protein and sugar-protein hydrogen bond is studied. Sucrose and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are used as models for sugar and protein. Samples of freeze-dried LDH involved in sucrose of different crystallinity were prepared, and measurement of X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was done. It is found that when sucrose is amorphous, the degree of hydrogen bond formation is high and LDH is stabilized; when sucrose is crystalline, hydrogen bond is less formed and LDH is inactivated. These results indicate that the stabilizing effect of sugar is closely related to sugar-protein hydrogen bond. It is also found that there is an optimum sucrose content for the thermal stabilizing effect. This is because amorphous structure of sucrose is stabilized and protected from crystallization by LDH. Thus we can deduce that sugars and proteins work together to keep the activities of proteins.

    The thermal stabilizing effect of sugar on freeze-dried protein is studied, in particular on the relationship between the thermal stabilizing effect and the degree of sugar-protein hydrogen bond formation. Sucrose and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are used as models for sugar and protein. Several freeze-dried samples of LDH involved in sucrose were prepared; they differed in the degree of crystallinity of sucrose, By X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, it is found that when sucrose is amorphous in the samples, the degree of hydrogen bond formation is high and LDH is stabilized remarkably. In contrast, when sucrose is crystalline, the degree of hydrogen bond formation is low and LDH is inactivated. These results indicate that the stabilizing effect of sugar is closely related to the sugar-protein hydrogen bond. The influence of sucrose content on the thermal stabilizing effect is also investigated. It is found that there is an optimum sucrose content for the thermal stabilizing effect. This is because, by the presence of LDH, the amorphous structure of sucrose is stabilized and protected from crystallization that causes loss of sucrose-LDH hydrogen bonds. Thus, we can deduce that sugars and proteins work together to maintain protein activities.

    The thermal stabilization effect of sugars on freeze-dried proteins is studied, particularly the relation between stabilizing effect and the degree of sugar crystallinity. Three kinds of enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), were used as model proteins. Aqueous solutions of enzymes with sugars were freeze-dried and stored in dry air at 65 degrees C. The stabilities of freeze-dried enzymes improve remarkably by addition of trehalose or raffinose. By measurement of X-ray diffractometry, the sugars are found to form fully amorphous matrix in freeze-dried samples. Furthermore, sucrose stabilizes enzymes to a great extent when it is amorphous in samples, though it shows Little stabilizing effect when it is crystalline. These results indicate that the stabilizing effect of sugars closely relates to the amorphous matrix formed by the sugars.

    A new method has been developed to measure and evaluate the operational powder characteristics for fine particle processing based on the reentrainment phenomena. Experiments on particle reentrainment were carried out using an accelerated air flow for 21 different test powders. Both the reentrainment fluxes, which were measured by an electrostatic method, and the average air velocities were automatically sampled by a computer. The sampled data were processed to obtain the reentrainment profiles as a function of the average air velocity. The cumulative reentrainment efficiencies were also obtained and represented as a function of the wall shear stress. It was found that fine particles having tendencies to form large aggregates were reentrained mainly in the early stage of the measurement when the flow velocity was as low as 5 m·s−1. Also, the mass ratio of the reentrained large aggregates to the total particles was used to obtain information on the particle-particle (cohesion) or particle-wall interactions (adhesion). On the other hand, the cumulative reentrainment efficiency-curves must be applied to determine the operational conditions controlling the amount of adhered particles in various aerosol processes. © 1994, Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation.

  • Development of a highly efficient indigo dyeing method using indican with an immobilized β-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger

    A highly efficient method for dyeing textiles with indigo is described. In this method, the substrate, indican is first hydrolyzed at an acidic pH of 3 using an immobilized β-glucosidase to produce indoxyl, under which conditions indigo formation is substantially repressed. The textile sample is then dipped in the prepared indoxyl solution and the textile is finally exposed to ammonia vapor for a short time, resulting in rapid indigo dyeing. As an enzyme, we selected a β-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger, which shows a high hydrolytic activity towards indican and was thermally stable at temperatures up to 50-60℃, in an acidic pH region. The A. niger β-glucosidase, when immobilized on Chitopearl BCW-3001 by treatment with glutaraldehyde, showed an optimum reaction pH similar to that of the free enzyme with a slightly higher thermal stability. The kinetics for the hydrolysis of indican at pH 3, using the purified free and immobilized enzymes was found to follow Michaelis-Menten type kinetics with weak competitive inhibition by glucose. Using the immobilized enzyme, we successfully carried out repeated-batch and continuous hydrolyses of indican at pH 3 when nitrogen gas was continuously supplied to the substrate solution. Various types of model textiles were dyed using the proposed method although the color yield varied, depending on the type of textile used.

  • Effects of the Cultivation Method on the Characteristics or Gene Expression Profiles of Aspergillus oryzae Using mCD or DPY Media

    We used modified Czapek-Dox (mCD) or dextrin-peptone-yeast extract (DPY) media to cultivate a filamentous fungus, Aspergillus oryzae IAM 2706 by three different cultivation methods, i.e., shaking-flask culture (SFC), agar-plate culture (APC), and membrane-surface liquid culture (MSLC), to identify the differences in cultivation behaviors and gene transcriptional profiles. The fungi cultivated by APC or MSLC secreted a greater number of different proteins/enzymes in larger quantities compared with fungi cultivated by SFC, particularly when DPY medium was used. In particular, the amounts of protease secreted by fungi cultivated via MSLC or APC were much greater compared with SFC. When mCD medium was used, α-amylase activity was barely detectable in all cultures while the activity was detected in MSLC and APC in a quantity that was several times higher than that in SFC using DPY medium. SDS-PAGE analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequences confirmed 6 proteins in the culture supernatants when DPY medium was used. Among these proteins oryzin (an alkaline protease) and α-amylase were detected at much higher levels in APC and MSLC compared with SFC, which was consistent withthe measured activity of the secreted enzymes. However, when mCD medium was used, only oryzin was detected in significant amounts in MSLC and APC. Microarray analyses of the fungi cultivated by SFC, APC or MSLC using either mCD or DPY media indicated that the gene transcriptional profile of the MSLC sample was similar to that of the APC sample but different from that of the SFC sample. When mCD medium was used, most of the genes that were up-regulated 10-folds or greater in the MSLC sample relative to the SFC sample were unknown or predicted proteins. Transcription of the oryzin gene was only slightly up-regulated in the MSLC sample while transcription of the α-amylase gene was slightly down-regulated. On the other hand, when DPY medium was used, many known genes including the oryzin gene were up-regulated in the MSLC sample versus the SFC sample.

    β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) is a major constituent of fouling deposits in the dairy industry. To determine the interaction between β-Lg and stainless steel surfaces, β-Lg irreversibly adsorbed on stainless steel particles was subjected to lysyl endopeptidase treatment and the course of fragmentation was compared with that observed for β-Lg in solution. The results showed a distinct difference between the courses of fragmentation: a fragment (residues 102-135) was liberated readily from β-Lg in solution but scarcely from β-Lg irreversibly adsorbed on stainless steel particles. This result strongly suggests that residues 102-135 include a segment primarily responsible for the interaction of β-Lg with stainless steel surfaces. This supports our previous results [Sakiyama et al., J. Biosci. Bioeng., 88, 536-541 (1999)] that showed that residues 125-135 of β-Lg have a strong affinity toward stainless steel surfaces and probably a major contribution to the adsorption of β-Lg.

    Preserving the native conformation of protein during freeze-drying would lead to a greater stability against denaturation during storage. A number of investigators have reported that freeze-drying in the presence of sugar aids in preserving the native conformation of a protein. When a protein solution is freeze-dried in the presence of sugars, amorphous matrices of sugars are formed, which could embed protein molecules. The embedding of protein molecules in the amorphous sugar matrices is generally thought to prevent conformational changes in the protein during dehydration and storage due to interactions between protein and sugar molecules. In this review we describe the methods which are used to study the sugar-protein hydrogen bond. The effects of various sugars on the structural stabilization of protein in the dried state are also reviewed and discussed.

    The adsorption isotherms of various carboxylic acids and several amines on a stainless steel surface were taken as a function of pH and the ionic strength of the solution at 30 degreesC. In particular, the effect of the number of carboxyl groups on the adsorption behavior was investigated. Monocarboxylic acids such as benzoic, acid and n-butyric acid were reversibly adsorbed on the stainless steel particles and showed a Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm, i.e., Q = Kq(m)C/(1 + KC), where Q and C are, respectively, the amount of adsorbate adsorbed and the equilibrium concentration in the bulk solution, q(m), the maximum adsorbed amount, and K is the adsorption equilibrium constant. Carboxylic acids having plural carboxyl groups had much higher affinity to the surface and were adsorbed in both reversible and irreversible modes. The adsorption isotherms for the carboxylic acids having plural carboxyl groups could be expressed by a modified Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm, i.e., Q = q(irrev) + K q(rev)C/(1 + KC), where q(irrev) and q(rev) are, respectively, the maximum amounts adsorbed irreversibly and reversibly. The K and q(irrev) values increased with an increase in the number of carboxyl groups except for isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid. On the basis of the pH dependencies of K, q(m), q(irrev), and q(rev) as well as the surface properties of the stainless steel, both reversible and irreversible adsorptions were considered to occur through the electrostatic interaction between negatively charged carboxyl groups and the positively charged sites on the surface. The dependency of the qirrev value on ionic strength was discussed on the basis of the differences in their adsorbed state with the interaction forces to the surface and repulsive forces among the adsorbed molecules. The adsorption of amine components was quite weak. The RA-IR and molecular dynamics calculation were done to investigate the adsorption states of phthalic acid, trimellitic acid, and mellitic acid.

    α-Glucosidase was produced using recombinant Aspergillus oryzae by membrane-surface liquid culture (MSLC), a method previously developed by the authors and the results compared with other methods, including shaking flask culture (SFC), agar-plate culture (APC), culture on urethane sponge supports (USC), and liquid surface culture (LSC) to determine possible reasons for the advantageous features of MSLC. When yeast extract was used as a nitrogen source, the amount of enzyme produced by MSLC was 5 or more times higher than those for SFC and LSC, but similar to that using APC. Enzyme production in USC was slightly lower than in MSLC and APC. Cell growth was similar irrespective of the cultivation method used. When NaNO_3, a typical inorganic nitrogen source was used, enzyme production in all the cultures was lower than that using yeast extract. However, even using NaNO_3, the amount of the enzyme produced by MSLC was 8 to 20 times higher than those by SFC, APC, USC, and LSC. Although cell growth using NaNO_3 was similar to that for yeast extract in MSLC, it was markedly decreased in SFC, APC, and LSC. The reason for the difference in enzyme productivity for various cultivation methods using yeast extract and NaNO_3 as a nitrogen source is discussed, on the basis of the experimental findings. The role of the oxygen transfer effect and gene expression levels in enzyme production were also examined.

    Aiming at developing a novel affinity tag for site-specific immobilization of functional proteins onto polystyrene (PS) surfaces, Escherichia coli random peptide display library was screened for dodecapeptides exhibiting a high affinity toward PS plate,. The selected peptides were commonly rich in hydrophobic amino acid residues and had two or three basic amino acid residues. Adsorption and desorption experiments for one of the selected peptide named PSI (KGLRGWREMISL) showed that it was well and irreversibly adsorbed onto PS latex particles. To study its performance as an affinity tag, PSI was genetically fused to a model enzyme, glutathione S-transferase (GST), in several manners, and the fusion enzymes were compared to the original GST in terms of the adsorption behavior onto the PS latex particles as well as the specific activities before and after the adsorption. The fusion GSTs in solution showed lower specific activities than the original one, and their adsorption behaviors were also altered. In particular, the fusion of PS 1 to the N-terminal region of GST resulted in severe losses both in the specific activity and in the adsorptive ability. However, two types of GSTs fused with PSI at the C-terminal region were well adsorbed onto the PS latex particles, and their specific activities after the adsorption were significantly higher than the original GST adsorbed on the PS latex particles. The fusion of PSI to the C-terminal region of GST was thus shown to reduce the activity loss upon the adsorption onto the PS latex particles. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    beta-(Pyrazol-1-yl)-L-alanine (beta-PA), a model nonproteinaceous amino acid, was specifically synthesized by two methods using recombinant Escherichia coli cells that express cysteine synthase, comprising serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A (OASS-A) and related enzymes from E. coli. In the first method (method A), recombinant cells that express wildtype SAT, OASS-A, acetate kinase (AK), and phosphotransacetylase (PTA) showed the highest beta-PA production. beta-PA was produced at 140 mM from 200 MM L-serine and 200 mM pyrazole under optimum conditions. Using the cells expressing SATDeltaC20 (truncated SAT), OASS-A, AK, and PTA, beta-PA was produced at a level of only 80 mM, whereas O-acetyl-serine (OAS) was found to be secreted into the broth. Under optimum conditions, OAS accumulated at levels of around 105 mM from 300 mM L-serine. Thus, in the second method (method B), the secreted OAS was used as the substrate for the syntheses of beta-PA and beta-(triazol-1-yl)-L-alanine (beta-TA). The OAS that accumulated in the broth was efficiently converted to beta-PA and beta-TA at levels of around 90 mM from 105 mM OAS using free OASS-A. In both methods A and B, the addition of glucose was essential for the efficient production of beta-PA and OAS, respectively.

    Adsorption characteristics of peptide fragments prepared by lysyl endopeptidase treatment of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied in comparison with those of BSA itself using stainless steel particles (type 316L) as a substrate surface. BSA was adsorbed onto the stainless steel surface remarkably at acidic pHs but scarcely at alkaline pHs. The peptide fragments were also scarcely adsorbed at alkaline pHs. At acidic pHs, however, the affinity toward the stainless steel surface depended on the type of peptide fragment; several types of the peptide fragments, relatively rich in acidic amino acid residues, such as DLGEEHFK (residues 13-20) and DAIPEDLPPLTADFAEDK (residues 295-312), were considerably adsorbed onto the stainless steel surface at acidic pHs. Similarly to BSA, the adsorption isotherms of those two types of peptide fragments showed very high affinities toward the stainless steel surface at pH 3 resulting in irreversible adsorption. Adsorption experiments for their synthetic analogues showed that the acidic amino acid residues were essential for the adsorption at pH 3. Furthermore FT-IR analysis suggested that the carboxyl groups of these acidic amino acid residues on the stainless steel surface were dissociated and hence had electrostatic interaction with the stainless steel surface. Thus the importance of carboxyl groups in the adsorption of peptide fragments on the stainless steel surface at acidic pHs was indicated. Close similarity of adsorption behaviors at acidic pHs found between BSA and those peptide fragments suggests that the acidic amino acid residues of the corresponding segments of a BSA molecule make a major contribution to the adsorption at acidic pHs. However, when those adsorbed at pH 3 were treated with 0.02 N NaOH, complete removal was observed for the peptide fragments but not for BSA. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The role of the acidic amino acid residues in the adsorption of peptides/proteins onto stainless steel particles was investigated using a peptide fragment from bovine beta-lactoglobulin, Thr-Pro-Glu-Val-Asp-Asp-Glu-Ala-Leu-Glu-Lys (T5 peptide), which has a high affinity to a stainless steel surface at acidic pHs, and its mutant peptides substituted with different numbers of acidic amino acid residues. The adsorption behavior of the mutant peptides as well as the T5 peptide were studied at pH 3 with respect to concentration and ionic strength dependencies and the reversibility of the adsorption process. The behavior of the peptides was generally characterized as two distinct irreversible adsorption modes, Mode I and Mode II. In Mode I, the amounts adsorbed lay on the ordinate at zero equilibrium concentration in the solution, while in Mode II, the amount adsorbed increased with increased equilibrium concentration. The area occupied by the peptides was predicted by molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics. The state of the peptides, when adsorbed, was investigated using FT-IR analysis. The FT-IR analyses revealed that the side carboxylic groups of the peptides adsorbed on the stainless steel surface were ionized, while they were unionized in the solution at pH 3. Thus, the interactions between the carboxylic groups of the peptide and the stainless steel surface can be considered to be largely electrostatic. The peptide having four acidic amino acid residues took a maximum adsorbed amount, the reason for which is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    The kinetics of the removal of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) adsorbed on a stainless steel surface by H2O2-electrolysis treatment, in which hydroxyl radicals (OHs) generated by the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide decompose the substances adhering on the surface, was investigated. The rate of removal of the adsorbed beta-Lg from the stainless steel surface during the treatment was monitored in situ by ellipsometry. The dependencies of the removal rate on the H2O2 concentration, the electric potential applied to the surface, and the supporting electrolyte concentration were examined and the results were compared with those obtained for the treatment of a titanium surface. Differences in the removal rates of the protein from the stainless steel and titanium surfaces are discussed with respect to differences in the nature of the interaction between the protein and the surface. The atomic compositions of the stainless steel surface before and after treatment were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy, and the stainless steel surface was found not to be affected by the H2O2-electrolysis treatment. The influences of various coexisting materials on removal characteristics during the H2O2-electrolysis treatment were also investigated. The difference between the effect of coexisting substances on the decomposition rate for the radical reaction in the H2O2-electrolysis treatment and that for the well-known UV-H2O2 treatment in bulk solution is discussed.

    The effects of various sugars on the structural stabilization of protein during freeze-drying were investigated. The degree of native structure of protein that was freeze-dried and rehumidified at constant relative humidities (RHs) was evaluated by measurement of the alpha-helix content by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and several types of sugars, including sucrose, trehalose, and dextrans, were used as a model protein and sugars, respectively. The glass transition temperature, T-g for the amorphous sugar samples was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to characterize the structural stability of sugars. The dependence of the alpha-helix content (Calpha-helix) of BSA on the sugar content (c(sugar)) could, in most cases, be represented by a Langmuir-type equation: Calpha-helix = K x (C-alpha-helix(max)-C-alpha-jelix(0)) x c(sugar)/(1 + K x c(sugar)) + C-alpha-helix(0), where K is a constant, indicating the ability of amorphous sugar matrix to embed protein, and C-alpha-helix(0) and C-alpha-helix(max) indicate the alpha-helix content in the absence of sugar and saturating levels of sugar, respectively. The preservation effects of the sugars could be characterized by K and C-alpha-helix(max). Both K and C-alpha-helix(max) values tended to be higher with decreasing T-g values for the amorphous sugar, probably because an amorphous sugar matrix with lower T-g values is structurally more flexible. The rehumidification of protein that was freeze-dried in the presence of sugar induced the refolding of protein structure, whereas the protein dried alone did not show any recovery of its native structure.

    The kinetics of the removal of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) adsorbed to a titanium surface using a method involving the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-electrolysis treatment) was examined. The rate of decrease in the thickness of the layer of beta-Lg adsorbed to the titanium surface during the H2O2-electrolysis treatment was measured in situ by ellipsometry, The rate for this process followed first-order reaction kinetics. Relationships between the rate constant for removal and such factors as the H2O2 concentration, the potential applied to the titanium surface, the supporting electrolyte concentration, and temperature were experimentally studied. The rate of removal of the adsorbed beta-Lg from a stainless steel surface was found to be much slower than that from a titanium surface, indicating that the type of metal also affects the removal characteristics during the H2O2-electrolysis treatment.

    The water sorption and glass transition behaviors of freeze-dried disaccharide-polysaccharide mixtures at various contents were investigated at relative humidities (RHs) of 0, 11, 23, and 33%. Sucrose and three types of dextrans, which differ in molecular weight, were used as model di- and polysaccharides, respectively. The relationship between the dextran and water contents of the sucrose-dextran mixture at different constant RHs indicated that a mixture of sucrose and dextran was lower than that calculated by the Lang and Steinberg mass balance equation. In the RH range of 0-23%, the glass transition temperature, T-g, increased to a considerable extent when the dextran content was equal to or higher than 50%, while the increase in T-g, at dextran contents lower than 50% was small. A marked increase in T-g, was observed at RH 33% for dextran contents of 0-25% as well as in the range above 50%. This suggests that the physical stability of the highly hydrated amorphous disaccharide is effectively strengthened by the addition of a small amount of polysaccharide. These tendencies were similar for the three dextrans of different molecular weights. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the addition of a small amount of dextran is quite effective in preventing the collapse of amorphous sugar during freeze drying. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    We have developed here for the first time a novel method to generate hydroxyl radicals, .OH, by applying slightly negative electric potentials (-0.2 - -0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl) to the surface of a metal (or metal oxide) that is in contact with hydrogen peroxide solution containing a supporting electrolyte. Namely, .OH radicals were generated at the surface by the electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation, H2O2 + e(-) --&gt; .OH + OH-. This method was used to clean a stainless steel fouled with a model protein, beta-lactoglobulin. The .OHs generated at the surface were effective in removing beta-lactoglobulin that had been irreversibly adsorbed, by several minutes of treatment at room temperature (22 +/- 2degreesC). The removal rates measured for various concentrations of H2O2, and supporting electrolyte and different potentials were determined exclusively by the electric current.

    Methylene blue and its congeners as model dyes were adsorbed onto stainless steel particles at different ionic strengths, pH values, and ethanol contents, and the adsorption mechanism was investigated. A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the dyes adsorbed on the stainless steel plate was carried out to determine the orientations of the adsorbed dyes on stainless steel surface. The adsorption isotherms for all the dyes tested were approximated by a Langmuir equation (Q = K q(m) C/(1 + KC)) in most cases except under strongly basic conditions. From the ionic strength and ethanol content dependencies of the K value in the Langmuir equations, both the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions were indicated to contribute to the adsorption of the dyes at neutral pH. By comparing the K and q(m) values for the methylene blue congeners and with the aid of the FTIR analyses, it was found that the kind of substituent groups at most positions of the polyheterocycles of methylene blue strongly affects the adsorption behavior, particularly the area occupied by an adsorbed dye molecule, the affinity for the stainless steel surface, and the orientation of the adsorbed dye molecule on the stainless steel surface.

    A model to analyze the hydration state of protein in freeze-dried amorphous sugar matrix was proposed, based on the assumptions that there is a limit to the amount of protein that a given amount of amorphous sugar could embed and that the freeze-dried sugar-protein mixture is composed of the four components, i.e., sugars with and without hydrogen bonding to proteins and proteins with and without hydrogen bonding to sugar. Bovine serum albumin and three kinds of disaccharides, i.e., sucrose, maltose, and trehalose, were used as samples. Using the analytical equations derived from the model and experimental sugar content dependencies of the water sorption at various relative humidities, the amount of hydration water for bovine serum albumin, and the minimum amount of sugar to embed the protein were determined. On the basis of these results, the degree of interaction between the three sugars and protein was discussed, with respect to their stabilizing effect on the protein.

    The UV-H2O2 technique, which is commonly known as a method of decomposing organic substances from wastewater, was applied into cleaning of a stainless steel surface fouled with protein. On a stainless steel surface fouled with bovine beta -lactoglobulin (beta -Lg), H2O2 Solution was made to now, and UV rays were irradiated over the flowing liquid. The amounts of beta -Lg adsorbed before and during the UV-H2O2 cleaning were measured by a reflection absorption technique using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RA-IR). The adsorbed amount approximately decreased linearly with time during the UV-H2O2 cleaning. There was an optimum H2O2 concentration for the removal rate. The H2O2 concentration dependency of the removal rate could be explained by considering the formation and disappearance rates of hydroxyl radicals (. OH), the decay of UV illuminance along the depth of the flow, and the rate of reaction between adsorbed beta -Lg and -OH.

    Cysteine synthetase from Escherichia coli is a bienzyme complex composed of serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A, (OASS), The effects of the complex formation on the stability of SAT against cold inactivation and proteolysis were investigated. SAT was reversibly inactivated on cooling to 0 degreesC. Ultracentrifugal analysis showed that SET (a hexamer) was dissociated mostly into two trimers on cooling to 0 degreesC in the absence of OASS, while in the presence of BASS one trimer of the SAT subunits formed a complex with one dimer of BASS subunits. In the presence of BASS, trot only the cold inactivation rate was reduced but also the reactivation rate was increased. Furthermore, SAT became stable against proteolytic attack bg alpha -chymotrypsin and V8 protease by forming the complex with OASS, On the other hand, SAT was degraded by trypsin in the same manner both in the presence and in the absence of OASS. The different tendency in the stability against proteolysis with the different proteases was discussed with respect to the substrate specificity of the proteases and amino acid sequence of the C-terminal region of SAT that interacts with OASS.

    Adsorption of proteins on solid surfaces and their interaction are major concerns in a number of fields such as biology, medicine, biotechnology and food processing, and play an important role from various points of view. Based on practical viewpoints, information on the conformation of the adsorbed protein as well as adsorption characteristics is essential for a system's performance. Although there are still many problems to be solved, extensive studies in recent years, owing to the development in instrumentation and instrumental techniques, reveal the adsorption behavior of proteins in detail. Here, we stress the importance and interesting aspect of protein adsorption on solid surfaces by reviewing findings that have been obtained in recent years.

    Some properties of serine acetyltransferases (SATs) from Escherichia coli, deleting 10-25 amino acid residues from the C-terminus (SAT Delta C10-Delta C25) were investigated. The specific activity depended only slightly on the length of the C-terminal region deleted. Although the sensitivity of SAT Delta C10 to inhibition by L-cysteine was similar to that for the wild-type SAT, it became less with further increases in the length of the amino acid residues deleted. SAT Delta C10 was inactivated on cooling to 0 degrees C and dissociated into dimers or trimers in the same manner as the wild-type SAT, but Met-256-Ile mutant SAT as web as SAT Delta C14, SAT Delta C20, and SAT Delta C25 were stable. Since SAT Delta C10, SAT Delta C14, and SAT Delta C25 did not form a complex with O-acetyl-serine sulfhydrylase-A (OASS-A) in a way similar to SAT Delta C20. it was indicated that 10 amino acid residues or fewer from the C-terminus of the wild-type SAT are responsible for the complex formation with OASS-A. The C-terminal peptide of the 10 amino acid residues interacted competitively with OASS-A with respect to OAS although its affinity was much lower than that for the wild-type SAT.

    The adsorption behavior of various amino acids on a stainless steel surface was investigated at 30 degrees C and over a pH range of 3-10. Acidic and basic amino acids except histidine adsorbed remarkably at pH 3-4 and 7-10, respectively, and showed Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the adsorption isotherms were investigated to analyze the interactions between amino acids and adsorption sites on the stainless steel. Hydrophobic amino acids and glycine showed only small adsorbed amounts at all pHs tested. For the acidic and basic amino acids, reversibility of the absorption and the influence of the ionic strength on the adsorption behavior were examined. The adsorption isotherms of the derivatives of aspartic acid were also measured in order to examine the contribution of the carboxylic groups of acidic amino acids to the adsorption. Furthermore, a Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis and semiempirical molecular orbital calculation were carried out to analyze the ionization states and the configuration of the amino acids adsorbed on a stainless steel surface. These investigations suggest that the acidic and basic amino acids adsorb through two electrostatic interactions of two ionized groups in the amino acid with a stainless steel surface, (C) 2000 Academic Press.

    Water sorption and glass transition of four amorphous sugars (lactose, maltose, sucrose, and trehalose) containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) are investigated. Freeze-dried sugar-BSA samples equilibrated at several water activities ranging from 0 to 0.43 were prepared. Moisture content and glass transition temperature (T-g) were measured. For the all sugars, it is found that BSA lowers T-g at low water activity, and raises it at high water activity. It Is also found that the difference between T-g of the sugar-BSA samples and that of the corresponding amorphous sugar samples (T-go) depends mainly on T-go.

As model organic solvents, ethyl acetate and tert-amyl alcohol were used. The substrate concentration dependencies of the initial rate of syntheses for ZAPM and ZI)PM observed in the biphasic system were well simulated using the overall partition coefficients of the substrates and product taking into consideration the effect of the formation of ion-pair complexes between the acid and amine components of the substrate, the initial rate equations determined in an aqueous buffer saturated with the organic solvent, and the pH dependence of the rate constant. The equilibrium yield for the synthesis of ZDPM was also in good agreement with the calculated result using the overall partition coefficients and equilibrium constant measured in the aqueous buffer.

    N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (Z-AspPheOMe), a precursor of the synthetic sweetener aspartame, was synthesized, using thermolysin immobilized onto Amberlite XAD-7, both in ethyl acetate and in tert-amyl alcohol. The initial rates for synthesis of Z-AspPheOMe in the organic solvents were predicted on the basis of a model proposed for an aqueous/organic biphasic reaction and compared with the experimentally observed substrate concentration dependencies. The experimental synthetic rates using the enzyme immobilized at a high enzyme concentration were lower than the calculated ones over a wide range of the substrate concentration. It was suggested as a reason for this discrepancy that the enzyme molecules form compact aggregates and those existing inside the aggregates cannot be utilized for reaction. The experimental results with the enzyme immobilized at a low concentration in ethyl acetate coincided well with the calculated ones. On the other hand, when tert-amyl alcohol was used, the experimental results were different in tendency irrespective of the amount of enzyme loaded, probably due to the fact that a distinct water phase does not exist around the enzyme aggregates inside the support.

    A novel advanced oxidation system using a combined UV/H2O2 technique was constructed for application to wastewater treatment. In this system, wastewater containing H2O2 flows along a channel with a flat surface in a thin film, onto which surface UV rays with a wavelength of 253.7 nm are irradiated. As a model wastewater, we used various dye solutions and investigated decoloration rates under various conditions differing in H2O2 concentration, temperature, UV illuminance, and so on. Based on the model, which takes into consideration the formation as well as the disappearance rate of hydroxyl radical (. OH), distribution of UV illuminance along the depth of the flow, and the rate of reaction between dye and . OH, we could simulate the course of dye decomposition. Furthermore, we showed the existence of an optimum H2O2 concentration for decomposition on the basis of this model.

    The overall partition coefficients of the acid and amine components of amino acid derivatives, the substrates for proteinase-catalyzed synthesis of oligopeptide precursors, in an aqueous/organic biphasic system were studied both experimentally and theoretically. In a single-component system containing either an acid or amine component, the overall partition coefficient was well expressed by a model using the acid dissociation constant and partition coefficients for the non-ionized and ionized forms of the component. The overall partition coefficient in a binary-component system containing both acid and amine components was well simulated by the model when the formation of ion-pair complexes in the organic solvent phase was taken into consideration in addition to the partitioning of the non-ionized and ionized forms of the components. The formation of ion-pair complexes in the organic solvent phase was indicated by an analysis using Fourier transform infrared ray spectroscopy (FT-IR). In addition to the partition equilibrium, the aqueous-phase pH change after partitioning could be predicted by the model.

    As a strategy for the analysis of the mode of protein adsorption onto stainless steel surfaces, peptides obtained by tryptic digestion of bovine β-lactoglobulin were subjected to adsorption experiments after identification of their primary structures. In the presence of 1 mM KOH, the peptides were scarcely adsorbed onto the surfaces of stainless steel particles from the peptide mixture. The adsorption experiments on isolated peptides showed that the affinities of the peptides for stainless steel surfaces in the presence of 1 mH HNO_3 were significantly different from each other. Peptides without any acidic amino acid residues were scarcely adsorbed onto the surface, whereas some peptides with acidic amino acid residues were found to be irreversibly adsorbed onto the surfaces in the acidic pH region. As for the latter peptides, the amount adsorbed on the surface increased with increasing ionic strength. These results indicated that the carboxyl groups on the side chains of the peptides play an important role in the adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of β-lactoglobulin itself was found to be very similar to that of one of the latter peptides.

    Various factors affecting the stability of thermolysin immobilized by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde were elucidated, particularly in the water-immiscible organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and tert-amyl alcohol. The main reason for enzyme inactivation in water-immiscible organic solvents was found to be autolysis in the water phase, which may surround the enzyme immobilized inside the support. By contrast, in water-miscible organic solvents thermal denaturation was the predominant cause of enzyme inactivation. Courses of inactivation were expressed by second-order kinetics in the initial stage, after which inactivation proceeded at a slower rate. The extent of autolysis was found to strongly depend on the kind of organic solvent, the water content, and type of support and these dependencies were explained by the difference in the amount and state of water inside the support. Thermolysin was immobilized onto Amberlite XAD-7 as a compact aggregate inside the support which may increase the stability of the enzyme. Finally, it was shown that the stability of the immobilized enzyme could be correlated with the logP value for water-miscible organic solvents and with the solubility of water for water- immiscible organic solvents.

    In order to investigate the influence of protein on the phase transitions of amorphous structure of sugar, we carried out differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of freeze-dried sucrose containing various contents of water and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Glass transition temperature Tg, crystallization temperature Tcr, and melting temperature Tm were measured. Tg, Tcr, and Tm decreased with increasing water activity. Addition of BSA raised Tg except the case that water activity was low (up to about 0.1). Tcr increased linearly with BSA content, and Tm did not depend on BSA content. The increase in Tg and Tcr with BSA suggests that protein contributes to stabilizing amorphous structure of sugar.

    Adsorption and desorption behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and gelatin on the surface of stainless steel particles are studied. The amount of BSA adsorbed increases significantly with temperature above 60 degrees C whereas that of gelatin decreases slightly with increasing temperature, Results of adsorption experiments with S-carboxymethylated BSA show that the thermal aggregation of BSA molecules at the surface through intermolecular thiol-disulfide interchange reactions plays an important role in the adsorption of BSA at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the initial desorption rate constants and residual amounts of the two proteins during caustic and enzymatic cleanings of the fouled particles are compared under various conditions. As a result, a large difference is found in the temperature dependence of the initial desorption rate constant in caustic cleaning, suggesting different modes of adsorption of the proteins.

    Cleaning experiments were performed by feeding protease solutions as cleaning agents into a packed column of stainless steel particles fouled with beta-lactoglobulin or gelatin. By evaluating the initial desorption rate constants (Brst-order rate constants) and residual amounts of protein, the cleaning efficiencies of the proteases were compared. The initial desorption rate constant depended on the kind of protease used and also on the type of protein to be removed. It increased with protease concentration and reached a constant value at a limit concentration. Kinetic analysis of the proteolytic reactions catalyzed by the proteases revealed that protease with a large Vm(ax)/EKm value for the proteolytic reaction resulted in a large value of the initial desorption rate constant in the enzymatic cleaning at a low protease concentration. The K-m value affected the limit concentration of protease yielding a saturation of initial desorption rate constant.

    To apply membrane-surface liquid culture (MSLC), reported in previous papers (J. Ferment. Bioeng., 80: 35-40, 41-46, 1995) to large-scale production, a novel bioreactor was constructed in which molds were grown on the outer surface of a cylindrical porous membrane facing the air with liquid medium running down along its inner surface. We cultivated Aspergillus oryzae NRRL484 to produce kojic acid as a model secondary metabolite. An SE20 membrane composed of polysulfone with a nominal pore diameter of 0.2 mu m (Fuji Photo Film Co.) was found to be most suitable based on the facts that the mass transfer through the membrane had no appreciable effect on the kojic acid production and the mycelia did not pass through the membrane pores. Kojic acid was produced at higher levels than in shaking flask culture. The highest kojic acid concentration in the batch MSLCs using the cylindrical membrane module with an active surface area of 220 cm(2) was 14, 45, and 60 mg/ml for glucose concentrations in the medium of 5, 10, and 20%, respectively. In the shaking flask cultures using 10 and 20% glucose, the maximum kojic acid concentrations were 24 and 22 mg/ml, respectively. In the MS;LC, the liquid medium was quite clear without any contamination of cells. Furthermore, the mold was highly stable against autolysis, and continuous cultivation with holding tells on the membrane surface could be conducted for over 70 d. When the average feed rate of the medium containing 10% glucose and 0.1% yeast extract was 30 ml/d, the steady-state kojic acid concentration at the outlet of the MSLC apparatus was in the range of 45-50 mg/ml.

    難水溶性薬剤の生体内における溶解性を改善する手法として,水可溶性のキャリアマトリクスに非晶質化した薬剤を分散する技術がある.申請者は,本来は“水と油”の関係にある糖と疎水性薬剤を,両親媒性物質を一切用いることなく,分子レベルで均一に混合できる原理的に新規な固体分散技術(Sole Amorphous Sugar based Amorphous Solid Dispersioin, SAS-SD, “surfactant-free固体分散”から呼称変更)を開発した.このSAS-SD試料において糖は水中で瞬時に溶解するため,疎水性薬剤の対水溶解性を既存の固体分散技術と同等以上に改善することができる.このSAS-SD技術は難水溶性成分の水溶性を高度に改善するが, ガラス転移温度 (Tg) が低く保存安定性に乏しいことが分かっていた.また他の固体分散技術と同様に, 難水溶性成分の溶解時間にも改善の余地が大きかった.そこでいくつかのモデル薬剤と糖を用いてSAS-SDを作成し,そのSAS-SD試料を難水溶性成分の融点以上の温度で熱処理(アニーリング)すると難水溶性成分の対水溶解性, Tgともに改善することが分かった.この難水溶性物質の溶解挙動の変化機構について基礎的な知見を得るためDSC等により固体分散試料の熱特性, 相互作用状態を評価した.その結果,アニーリングすることで糖分子間の相互作用密度が緩和され, 糖分子がより安定な構造をとっているためであることが示唆された.さらに,同じ骨格構造は持つ複数の誘導体(ibuprofen等)をモデル薬剤としてSAS-SD試料を作成し,アニーリング条件と薬剤の対水溶解性,およびモデル薬剤の物理化学的特性の関係について検討した結果,SAS-SDおよびそのアニーリングによる薬剤の対水溶解性の改善度は薬剤の融点を用いて相関できることを見出した.さらにSAS-SDの調製手法・条件の検討を行った.具体的にはSAS-SD試料を真空foam乾燥と噴霧乾燥の二種類の方法で調製し,その物性を比較・検討した.

    糖によって形されたアモルファスマトリクスは,タンパク質などの不安定物質を包括すると,その劣化を抑制する働きがある.この糖類アモルファスマトリクスによる包括安定化作用は,マトリクスを構成する糖分子の状態と密接な関係があると考えられる.従って,室温以下の低温域においては,極めて高度な保存性が期待できる.本研究では,昇温過程における糖分子の赤外線吸収(IR)スペクトルを連続的に測定できる温度操作フーリエ変換赤外分光分析(TS-FTIR)により,-20℃からTg前後の温度域における糖分子間相互作用(水素結合)の形成状態を解析した.すなわち,糖水酸基の伸縮振動に起因するIR吸収帯のピーク波数を温度に対してプロットした.その結果,ピーク波数は温度上昇に伴い高波数側にシフトしていくが,Tgより数十℃低いある温度(T*)においてもピーク波数の増加勾配が顕著に小さくなることが分かった.これより,糖分子間水素結合が極めて安定に存在する温度域(<T*)が存在することが示唆された.また,その温度域の上限(T*)はsucroseで顕著に低く,糖の分子量とともに高くなる傾向が見られた.
    一方,糖類アモルファスマトリクスの構造エンタルピーの緩和過程を示差走査熱量分析(DSC)により測定し,異なる温度における糖分子のモビリティーを評価・比較した.その結果,上述のT*以下の温度領域では,各糖試料の構造エンタルピーの緩和が認められなかった.さらに,酵素を用いて糖類アモルファスマトリクスで包括したときの失活速度の温度依存性を調べたところ,T*以下では酵素の失活がほとんど生じないことが分かった.以上のことから,T*は糖分子のモビリティーが極端に制限される温度領域の上限値を表しており,この温度以下では極めて高度な包括安定化作用が発現することが明らかとなった.

    高度なタンパク質安定化作用と物理的安定性を併せ持つ新規な糖類アモルファスマトリクスの構築を最終目標として,高度なタンパク質安定化作用を有する少糖と高い物理的安定性を有する多糖を組み合わせた少糖-多糖複合アモルファスの物理特性およびマトリクス内における分子間相互作用について検討した.
    実験方法
    スクロ-スおよびデキストランを様々な割合(0〜100%)で含む水溶液を調製した.一部の試料溶液には塩を0.1〜100mMになるように添加した.試料溶液を液体窒素で急速凍結して室温で1日凍結乾燥した.その後,さらにP_2O_5を入れた真空デシケータ内(37℃)で3日間絶乾処理することにより,少糖-多糖複合アモルファス試料を得た.少糖-多糖複合アモルファス内の分子間相互作用を解析するため,試料を一定相対湿度(RH 11,23,33%)下で平衡化後,含水率,ガラス転移温度(Tg)を測定した.試料の含水率は重量法およびKarl-Fischer法により測定し,ガラス転移温度は示差走査熱分析により測定した.
    結果
    スクロースーデキストラン複合アモルファス試料の水分収着特性を解析した結果,複合試料の平衡含水率はスクロースおよびデキストランそれぞれ単体のときの値から算出される理論値よりも低くなることが分かった.これはスクロースとデキストランが共存することでスクロース-デキストラン分子間に相互作用が形成し,それぞれ単体で存在するときよりも水和サイトが減少したことを意味している.一方,スクロース-デキストラン複合アモルファス試料のガラス転移温度に及ぼす塩の影響を調べた結果,リン酸塩の共存によるガラス転移温度の変化は認められなかったが,塩化ナトリウムや塩化アンモニウムはガラス転移温度を低下させることが分かった.

    本研究では食品製造プロセスで発生する汚れの付着挙動と構造解析,脱離機構の解明及び固体表面との相互作用の解析を目的として,主たる汚れ成分であるタンパク質およびその構成成分であるペプチドの金属表面への付着機構および複合汚れとしてのタンパク質/タンニン(酸)複合汚れの構造及び付着機構の解明を行った。さらに、本研究中に考案した過酸化水素(H_2O_2)から水酸化ラジカルを発生させる新規な洗浄方法による汚れの脱離機構および洗浄速度に関して詳細な検討を行った。主な成果の概要を下記に記す。
    1.タンパク質と金属固体表面との間の相互作用を解析するために、1)金属表面に付着しているタンパク質をプロテアーゼで分解して生成するペプチドの組成から解析する方法、2)タンパク質分子内の付着に関与するペプチドの変異ペプチドを調製して、その付着挙動から解析する方法の2つのアプローチを行った。その結果、複数の酸性アミノ酸(Asp、Glu)が隣接するペプチド部位がタンパク質分子内の直接の付着部位であること、ペプチドについては、酸性アミノ酸の数が多いほど、付着力及び付着量共に増加することが明らかになった。ペプチドの吸着等温線は、不可逆的な付着量と可逆的な付着(Langmuir型)の2つのモードの和として表すことができた。
    2.金属平板を希薄な過酸化水素溶液に接触させ、-0.2〜-0.8V程度の負電位を印加すると、金属平板上で水酸化(OH)ラジカルが発生することを見い出した。本方法を、タンパク質で汚染された金属表面の洗浄に適用した結果、室温でも数分以内にほぼ完全に脱離することを見い出すとともに、脱離速度に及ぼす諸因子を解析した。
    3.複合汚れのモデルとして、タンニン-タンパク質(β-Lactoglobulin:β-Lg)およびリン酸-タンパク質複合汚れを取り上げ、これらの汚れのステンレス表面における形成機構について詳細に解析した。さらに、この複合汚れのアルカリ洗浄とH_2O_2-電気分解洗浄における脱離挙動を種々の条件下で調べた。高感度FT-IR(RAS-IR)により、残存している残存物質の種類及び量を解析した。PH、処理温度の違いによる、金属表面と直接相互作用している付着物質の種類及び脱離速度に及ぼす影響を詳細に調べた。

    目的 不安定なタンパク質を安定化する手法の一つとして、タンパク質を糖などの安定化剤とともに凍結乾燥することでタンパク質を糖のアモルファスマトリクスに包埋し、保存中の変性、失活を低減する手法がある。このタンパク質安定化剤としてはスクロースなどの低分子量の糖は高い安定化作用を有するものの、吸湿や熱により容易にコラプスするという欠点がある.一方,デキストランなどの多糖類は安定化作用は極めて低いものの,物理的安定性に優れている。従って,高い安定化作用を有する少糖と高い物理的安定性を有する多糖を組み合わせることで,高度な安定化作用と物理的安定性を併せ持つ新規な糖類アモルファスマトリクスを構築出来る可能性がある.この新規な安定化剤である少糖-多糖複合アモルファスの物理的安定性(ガラス転移温度,Tg)およびタンパク質安定化作用について検討した。
    方法 少糖としてsucrose, erythritol,多糖として分子量の異なる2種類のdextran(MW1500, 6000),タンパク質としてlactate dehydrogenase (LDH)を用いた.これらの少糖・多糖を様々な割合(0〜100%)で含む凍結乾燥試料を作成し,凍結乾燥直後のLDHの相対残存活性,一定相対湿度下で平衡化したときのTgを測定した.
    結果 sucrose-dextran, erythritol-dextran試料のTgはいずれの相対湿度においてもdextran含有率が40%以上で顕著に上昇することが分かった。一方,凍結乾燥直後の残存酵素活性は,sucrose crythritol単体の場合はいずれも50%であったのに対し,sucrose-dextran試料では最大70%, erythrito1-dextran試料では最大95%となった.これらのことより少糖-多糖複合アモルファスマトリクスの極めて高い有効性が明らかとなった.

    タンパク質(酵素)の固体表面に対する付着は、分析、反応、生体材料設計など生物生体工学の多岐の分野においてみられれ現象であり、それぞれの応用を考える際には付着に対する親和性と配向の制御が重要な鍵となる。そこで、本研究では、タンパク質の固体表面に対する相互作用と直接付着に関与する部位の解明を行うと共に固体表面に対する親和性と配向の制御されたタンパク質の創製を最終目的としている。タンパク質として分子量が小さく、性質や立体構造が明らかにされているウシ膵臓ribonucleaseA(RNaseA)に着目して、固体表面に直接相互作用するタンパク質分子内ペプチド部位の解明と固体表面に対する親和性及び配向の制御された酵素の創製を行うために、変異RNaseAの調製法を確立すると共にその付着挙動を調べた。変異RNaseAとしては、ステンレス表面に対する付着部位と推定されている、^<47>His-Glu-Ser-Leu-Ala-Asp-Val^<57>中のAlaをAspに置換したAla55Asp変異RNaseAとGluとAspのそれぞれあるいは両方をAlaに置換した、Glu55Ala変異RNaseAとAsp55Ala変異RNaseA、及びPS Latexに対し強い付着を示す^<117>Pro-Val-His-Phe-Asp-Ala-Ser-Val^<124>中のPheをAlaに置換したPhe120Ala変異RNaseAを調製した。いずれの場合も変異RNaseA遺伝子をプラスミドpBXRに組み込んだ発現プラスミドを作成し、大腸菌(BL21)内で発現させた。培養大腸菌を回収後に超音波破砕を行い、封入体を回収した。回収した封入体を変性・再生後にイオン交換クロマトグラフィーとゲル濾過により精製した。精製酵素はSDS-PAGE上で均一であることを確認した、精製酵素の収率は10%前後であった。精製酵素のステンレス粒子及びPS Latexに対する付着特性を調べた。予備的検討の結果、予想した通りにAla55Asp変異RNaseAはステンレス粒子に対して野生型RNaseAよりも強い付着力を示したが、Phe120Ala変異RnaseAでは変化がみられなかった。

    本研究では、タンパク質と固体表面の直接の相互作用に着目して、固体表面に対する親和性と配向の制御されたタンパク質の創製を最終目的として、1)固体表面に直接相互作用するタンパク質分子内ペプチド部位を特定する方法の確立と、2)ペプチド部位の固体表面に対する親和性の強さとそのアミノ酸組成・長さ・二次構造等との関係を明らかにすることである。本年度はモデルタンパク質として、主として分子量が小さく三次元構造が明らかにされている、ウシ膵臓由来リボヌクレアーゼA(RNaseA)を、固体表面としてステンレス粒子とポリスチレンラテックス(Pslatex)を用いて、固体表面に直接相互作用する部位の同定と相互作用に関する知見を得ることを目的とした。RNaseAをカルボキシメチル化した後、トリプシン処理し、得られたペプチド混合液あるいは合成したペプチドを試験液に溶解し、吸着等温線を測定した。主な成果は次の3点に要約される。
    1)RNaseAの各pHにおけるステンレスに対する吸着等温線はいずれもLangmuir型を示したが、高pH領域では、殆ど吸着がみられなかった。Pslatexの場合では吸着等温線はpHに殆ど依存せず、不可逆吸着を示した。
    2)トリプシン処理によって得られたRNaseA由来ペプチドを用いて吸着実験を行ったところ、ステンレスに対しては酸性アミノ酸残基を含むペプチド10が、Pslatexに対しては、疎水性アミノ酸残基を多く含むペプチド9が顕著に吸着していた。3)ペプチド9-1の疎水性アミノ酸残基であるIleをGlyに、ペプチド9-3のPheをGlyに、10-1の酸性アミノ酸残基GluとAspをGlyに置換したペプチドを合成し、吸着特性の変化を調べたところ、いずれのペプチドも吸着力は激減した。これらの結果から、ステンレスに対する吸着には酸性アミノ酸残基が、Pslatexに対する吸着には、疎水性アミノ酸残基による疎水相互作用とベンゼン環同士のπ-π相互作用が深く関与していることが示唆された。

    本研究では、1)タンパク性汚れ、ペプチド、アミノ酸の付着特性の解明、2)タンパク質の固体表面に対する直接の付着部位の決定、及び3)酵素及び過酸化水素/紫外線により発生する水酸化ラジカルを利用した汚れの洗浄機構の解明の3点に焦点を絞り検討した。固体表面としてはステンレス表面を取り上げた。タンパク質としてβ-ラクトグロブリン(β-Lg)、牛血清アルブミン(BSA)、ゼラチン(Gel)を取り上げ、ステンレス表面に対する付着特性を種々の条件下で明らかにした。β-LgとBSAについては、中性より酸性側では、不可逆的な吸着挙動を示した。付着温度が上昇するに従い、β-LgとBSAの付着量は増加したが、これはシステイン残基間の結合反応やS-S交換反応による界面凝集反応により多分子層吸着が形成されるためであることが示唆された。一方、Gelに関しては温度上昇に伴い、付着量は低下した。さらに、ペプチド類とアミノ酸の付着挙動を調べたところ、酸性条件下では、酸性アミノ酸(GluとAsp)が付着に関与することが明かとなった。β-Lgのステンレス表面に対する直接の付着部位を同定するために、プロテアーゼ消化により調製されたペプチド断片の付着特性を明らかにした。その結果、アミノ酸配列の125番目から136番目のPeptide T5(Thr-Pro-Glu-Val-Asp-Asp-Glu-Ala-Leu-Glu-Lys)領域が有力な付着部位の一つであることが示唆された。このペプチドとステンレス平板間の相互作用をFT-IRを用いて調べたところ、酸性アミノ酸の側鎖カルボキシル基が解離した状態で付着していることが明らかにされた。さらに、タンパク質で汚染された表面の種々の条件下で酵素洗浄と水酸化ラジカル洗浄を行い、その挙動をアルカリ洗浄の結果と比較した。

    タンパク質水溶液に糖を添加し凍結乾燥すると,タンパク質は糖によって形成されたアモルファス構造に包埋され,その結果,タンパク質の安定性が顕著に向上する.この糖によるタンパク質安定化機構についてはこれまで多くの研究がなされているが,依然未解明な点が多く,実際の安定化操作の改善に繋がる知見は乏しい.そこで本研究では糖としてスクロース,マルトース,トレハロース,マルトトリオース,および平均分子量1500,6000のデキストラン,タンパク質として牛血清アルブミン(BSA)を様々な割合で含有する糖-タンパク質凍結乾燥資料を作成し,試料中におけるタンパク質の構造保持の度合いを比較した.タンパク質の構造保持度はフーリエ変換赤外分光分析計(FT-IR)を用いて二次構造を解析することにより評価し,各種糖アモルファスの物理的特性は示差走査熱量計(DSC)を用いて分析した.また,タンパク質安定化作用との密接な関係が注目されている糖-タンパク質間水素結合を水分収着特性から定量し,タンパク質の構造保持度との関係について検討を加えた.その結果,タンパク質の構造保持度をαへリックスの含有率を指標として評価した場合,構造保持の度合いはスクロース>マルトース>トレハロース>マルトトリオース>デキストラン1500>デキストラン6000の順となり,スクロースを用いた場合,糖添加量が1g/g-BSAのとき水溶液中の値とほぼ一致した.各種糖アモルファスのガラス転移温度(Tg)を測定した結果,Tgが低い糖ほどタンパク質の構造保持度が高いことが分かった.これはTgが低い糖アモルファスほど糖分子の構造柔軟性が高く,タンパク質との相互作用が形成され易いためと考えられる.また,糖-タンパク質間水素結合の形成度を評価した結果,糖-タンパク質間水素結合の形成度は構造保持の度合いと大略傾向は一致することが明らかになった.

    平成10年度は、比較的分子量の小さいRNAseやβ-ラクトグロブリン(β-Lg)をモデルタンパク質として用いて、固体表面に直接接触しているぺプチド部位の特定と相互作用の強さに関して検討を試みた。直接付着に関与するぺプチド部位を特定する方法としては、タンパク質のプロテアーゼ消化により得られるぺプチド類の付着挙動から推定する間接的な方法を用いた。タンパク濃度一定条件下では、等電点近傍のpH5近傍で最大の吸着量を示した。吸着等温線(30℃)は見掛けLangmuir型を示した。酸性領域(pH3〜4)では、イオン強度が高いほど、吸着平衡定数は大きい結果となった。β-Lgをトリプシンで処理することにより14種類のペプチドを単離した。各ペプチドの組成と配列を一次構造とアミノ酸分析により同定した。ペプチド混合溶液あるいは各ペプチド単独の溶液を用いて種々の条件下(PH、温度、イオン強度)で吸着挙動を調べた。β-Lgが高い吸着を示した酸性pH領域では酸性アミノ酸を複数個含むペプチドがステンレス粒子に対する親和性が高いことが判明した。これは、ペプチド分子中の酸性アミノ酸残基がマイナスに誘起されて、ステンレス表面のプラスの電荷と多点結合するためであることが示唆された。同様にトリプシン処理によって得られたカルポキシメチル化RNaseA由来ペプチドを単離(10種類)し、そのステンレス粒子及びラテックスに対する吸着挙動をペプチド混合溶液を用いて検討した。いずれのペプチドもステンレスに対する吸着は、殆どみられなかった。一方、ラテックスに対する吸着は疎水性アミノ酸残基が多く含むペプチドにおいて強いことから、ラテックスに対する吸着には疎水性相互作用が寄与していることが示唆されたが、ペプチドとRNaseAの吸着挙動には、β-Lgのような明確な相関関係はみられなかった。

    本研究の目的は,バイオプロセスにおいて膨大なエミッションを生み出す洗浄操作の合理化ある.平成10年度はOHラジカルの高い酸化力に着目し,(1)固体表面汚れの効率的除去と(2)洗浄排水の低減の可能性を検討した.
    (1) 付着汚れの除去への応用は次のような原理に基づいている.H_2O_2水溶液を汚れの付着した固体表面に薄い液膜として流し,その上部から紫外線を照射すると,H_2O_2の紫外線分解によりOHラジカルが発生し,付着状態および脱着・遊離した汚れ物質を酸化分解する.さらに,光照射により汚れ物質の脱着が促進される.モデルは汚れ物質として脂肪酸を付着させたステンレス表面を用いて,付着汚れのラジカル酸化除去効果および紫外線による脱離促進効果を検証した.脂肪酸の付着・残留量はRAS-FT-IRにより定量した.その詰果,水流だけでは脂肪酸はほとんど脱離しないが,紫外線の照射により顕著に脂肪酸が脱離することが分かった.
    (2) 洗浄排水処理へのラジカル酸化分解の応用については,モデル有機物質として色素を含む着色水溶液のUV-H_2O_2処理における脱色特性を明らかにした.いづれの色素についても脱色反応は一次反応に従い,見かけの一次反応速度定(K)のH_2O_2濃度依存性を求めたところ,H_2O_2濃度に最大値が存在した.これはH_2O_2濃度の増加伴い,OHラジカルの発生速度とともにUVの減衰が顕著になるためであると考えられる.そこで,紫外線照射下のH_2O_2-色素水溶液におけるラジカル反応(H_2O_2の紫外線分解反応,OHラジカルとH_2O_2との反広,OHラジカルと色素との反応)とH_2O_2および色素による紫外線の減衰を考慮したモデルを設定し,kの理論値を計算した.その結果,実験値と良好に一致し,本モデルにより有機物質のラジカル酸化速度に対する条件の最適化が可能である.

    本研究では、水溶液中では困難な反応を可能にせしめる有機溶媒中での酵素反応を実用化するために問題となる基礎を確立することを目的とした。サーモライシン(EC3.4.24.4)により触媒されるアスパルテーム前駆体Z-L-Asp-L-PheOMe(Z-;N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl),-OMe;Methyl ester)合成反応(縮合反応)を取り上げ、酵素をサブミクロンオーダーの細孔径を有する種々の多孔性担体に固定化した。固定化酵素の有機溶媒中での安定性に及ぼす諸因子の把握とその機構の解明を行った。固定化酵素の安定性に関しては、特に水難溶性有機溶媒中での失活速度について検討を行い、1)固定化酵素の失活は主として担体内部での自己消化によるものであること、2)自己消化の程度は有機溶媒の種類、水分濃度、担体の種類に影響されるが、これは固定化されている酵素分子周囲の水相の状態が異なるためであることを明らかにした。一方、合成速度を定量的に推定するために、水/有機溶媒二相系での分配挙動及び有機溶媒飽和の水溶液中での合成初速度に関して解析を行った。基質の酸成分と塩基成分間のイオンペア形成を考慮した分配モデルと有機溶媒飽和緩衝液中での合成初速度から、固定化酵素の有機溶媒中でのジペプチド合成初速度の推定を行ったが、酢酸エチル中では酵素の有効利用度の低下を考慮することにより精度良く推定できることを示した。
