Zeolite 에 의(依)한 Urease 의 흡착(吸着)

Adsorption of Urease on Zeolite

Zeolile에 의한 Urease의 활성(活性)과 특성(特性)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여, Zeolite의 Urease 흡착양상(吸着樣相)과 흡착(吸着)된 Urease의 여러가지 성질(性質)들을 조사(調査)하였다. Zeolite의 존재하(存在下)에서 용액중(溶液中)에 유리(遊離)된 Urease는 흡착(吸着)이 최대(最大)에 도달(到達)할 때까지 Zeolite에 흡착(吸着)되며, pH 7.0에서의 최대흡착량(最大吸着量)은 11.3mg urease/100mg Zeolite이었다. Zeolite에 의한 Urease의 흡착(吸着)은 주로 정전기적(靜電氣的) 결합(結合)에 의하여 Zeolite의 외표면(外表面)에서 이루어지며, 흡착량(吸着量)의 70%이상(以上)이 30분(分) 이내(以內)에 흡착(吸着)되었다. 흡착(吸着)된 Urease는 Free Urease에 비(比)하여 활성(活性)이 89.6%나 감소(減少)되었으며, Km치(値)는 3배(倍) 이상(以上)이나 증가(增加)된 34.4mM이었다. 흡착(吸着)된 Urease의 최적(最適) pH는 6.5~7.0으로 Free Urease의 7.0에 비하여 그 범위(範圍)가 넓어졌으며, Protease에 대한 저항성(抵抗性)은 약(弱)하여 졌다. 또한, 기질특이성(基質特異性)과 열(熱)에 대한 안정성(安定性)에는 변화(變化)가 없었다.

The urease adsorption on zeolite and the various properties of adsorbed urease were investigated to find out the influence of zeolite on activity and properies of urease. Free urease in solution was adsorbed on zeolite untill the max. adsorption, and the amount of max. adsorption was 11.3mg urease/100mg zeolite at pH 7.0. It is apparent that free urease was adsorbed on the outer surface of zeolite by cation exchange reaction, and more than 70% of urease adsorption was adsorbed within 30 min. The activity of adsorbed urease was decreased by 89.6%, whereas Km value was increased to 34.4mM, which is higher than that of free urease. The optimum pH of adsorbed urease was widened 6.5 to 7.0, compared to that of free urease 7.0. The resistance of urease to protease became weaker by adsorption, however substrate specificity and thermal stability were not affected.
