Abstract
Hydrolase is a group of the most widely used enzymes in industrial biological processes. Generally, their activities are easily changed with pH. With this characteristics, research for the optimal pH of hydrolases is required to obtain the optimization of process conditions. We selected xylanase, lysozyme, glucoamylase and barnase as model enzymes. To predict optimum pH of hydrolases, the calculation program based on Tanford-Kirkwood(TK) model was used. Results show that charge difference of catalytic residues is an important parameter deciding optimum pH and when charge difference of catalytic residues is maximum, optimum pH of the hydrolase establishes.
Hydrolase는 생물학적 공정에서 가장 널리 사용되는 효소군 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 hydrolase들 중에 xylanase, lysozyme, glucoamylase, barnase가 대상 hydrolase로 선택하여 최적 pH를 예측하는 방법론을 제시하였다. Tanford-Kirkwood(TK) model에 기반을 두고 선택된 효소들의 catalytic residue들의 전하 변화가 optimum pH에 중요한 인자로서 그 catalytic residue들의 전하 차이가 최대일 때의 pH가 optimum pH로 나타났다. 이렇게 예측된 optimum pH 결과들은 실험적으로 결정된 optimum pH와 서로 잘 일치하고 있음을 보여준다.
