Oxidative folding of lysozyme with aromatic dithiols, and aliphatic and aromatic monothiols
摘要:
In vitro protein folding of disulfide containing proteins is aided by the addition of a redox buffer, which is composed of a small molecule disulfide and/or a small molecule thiol. In this study, we examined redox buffers containing asymmetric dithiols 1-5, which possess an aromatic and aliphatic thiol, and symmetric dithiols 6 and 7, which possess two aromatic thiols, for their ability to fold reduced lysozyme at pH 7.0 and 8.0. Most in vivo protein folding catalysts are dithiols. When compared to glutathione and glutathione disulfide, the standard redox buffer, dithiols 1-5 improved the protein folding rates but not the yields. However, dithiols 6 and 7, and the corresponding monothiol 8 increased the folding rates 8-17 times and improved the yields 15-42% at 1 mg/mL lysozyme. Moreover, aromatic dithiol 6 increased the in vitro folding yield as compared to the corresponding aromatic monothiol 8. Therefore, aromatic dithiols should be useful for protein folding, especially at high protein concentrations. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novel sulfur-containing compositions comprise a polyether polysulfide or an ether polysulfide. The polyether polysulfide may be based upon an alkoxylate (an alcohol or glycol-initiated compound) that is a copolymer of at least two of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide. The polyether polysulfide may alternatively be based upon a homopolymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide. The ether polysulfide may be based upon a methoxy-capped polyglycol or an alkyl ether of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol.

(EN) The present invention relates to electrode membrane combinations for use in biosensors. The membrane is attached to the electrode by means of a linker molecule in a manner such that a hydrophilic space is provided between the membrane and the electrode. The linker molecule comprises within the same molecule a hydrophobic region which constitutes at least a proportion of the amphiphilic molecules making up the membrane or is attached to or is embedded in the membrane, an attachment region attached to the electrode and a hydrophilic region intermediate said hydrophobic and attachment regions. The hydrophilic region spans the space between the membrane and the electrode.(FR) L'invention concerne des combinaisons de membranes d'électrode destinées aux biodétecteurs. La membrane est fixée à l'électrode au moyen d'une molécule de liaison, de manière qu'un espace hydrophile existe entre la membrane et l'electrode. La molécule de liaison comprend, dans la même molécule, une zone hydrophobe qui constitue au moins un pourcentage donné des molécules amphiphiliques constituant la membrane, ou est fixée à la membrane ou noyée dans celle-ci, une zone de fixation sur l'électrode et une zone hydrophile entre lesdites régions hydrophobe et de fixation. La zone hydrophile s'étend à travers l'espace entre la membrane et l'électrode.
