[Research of UV-Induced Changes in the Structural and Functional Properties of Inulinases]
Abstract:
UV-induced changes in the catalytic activity and radiuses of inulinases molecules from various producers (plants, fungy, yeast) are studied. It is established that specific enzymes activity and the sizes of inulinases molecules from Helianthus tuberosus and Kluyveromyces marxianus under the influence of UV-light in the ranges of doses 4530-6040 and 755-6040 J/m2, respectively, are subjected to changes more than structural and functional characteristics of inulinase fromAspergillus niger. It is probably connected with lower contents in it of aromatic amino acids such as tyrosine and phenylalanine. The most expressed loss of functional properties of inulinase from Helianthus tuberosus can be caused by the'existence of significantly more numbers of cysteine in plant fructan-exohydrolases in relation to microbic enzymes. A scheme for the stages of response of inulinases of various origins on the influence of UV-light in a certain range of radiation doses is offered.
