Bovine trypsin conjugated with oligosaccharides showed improved heat stability and reduced self-digestion. These modified trypsins enhanced protein digestion efficiency in various conditions compared to standard forms.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Enzymology
  • Protein Chemistry

Background:

  • Bovine trypsin is a widely used protease in biochemical research and industrial applications.
  • Enzyme stability and activity are critical factors for efficient protein digestion.
  • Autolysis and thermal denaturation can limit the utility of trypsin.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of oligosaccharide conjugation on bovine trypsin properties.
  • To assess the impact of conjugation on trypsin's thermostability, autolysis, and cleavage specificity.
  • To evaluate the efficiency of modified trypsin in protein substrate digestion.

Main Methods:

  • Bovine trypsin was conjugated with maltotriose, raffinose, and stachyose.
  • Thermostability and autolysis were measured for native and conjugated trypsin.

  • Cleavage specificity was assessed using model substrates.
  • Protein digestion assays were performed in solution and in gel electrophoresis conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Oligosaccharide conjugation significantly increased the thermostability of bovine trypsin.
    • Conjugation effectively suppressed trypsin autolysis.
    • Cleavage specificity of trypsin remained unaffected by oligosaccharide conjugation.
    • The trypsin-oligosaccharide conjugates demonstrated accelerated protein digestion compared to unmodified and methylated trypsin.

    Conclusions:

    • Oligosaccharide conjugation is a viable strategy to enhance the stability and performance of bovine trypsin.
    • Modified trypsin exhibits improved efficiency for protein digestion in diverse applications.
    • This approach offers a promising alternative to conventional trypsin preparations for biochemical and biotechnological processes.
