高浓度溶菌酶蛋白质溶液中的平衡团簇

Equilibrium Clusters in Concentrated Lysozyme Protein Solutions

P. Kowalczyk, A. Ciach, P. A. Gauden, A. P. Terzyk

摘要:

我们研究了无盐溶菌酶在293 K和pH 7.8的结构,使用分子模拟和实验SAXS有效电位蛋白质之间的三个体积分数,0.012,0.033,和0.12。我们发现,在接近生理条件下,溶菌酶的结构强烈依赖于蛋白质的体积分数。所研究的溶菌酶溶液仅在<0.012时以单体为主;对于强稀释,70%的蛋白质以单体形式存在。对于0.033,只有20%的蛋白质不属于一个簇。星系团主要是细长的。对于0.12,几乎没有单个颗粒存在,并且出现大范围的分支的不规则簇。我们的模拟研究提供了新的见解,形成平衡簇在带电的蛋白质溶液接近生理条件。

英文摘要:

We have studied the structure of salt-free lysozyme at 293 K and pH 7.8 using molecular simulations and experimental SAXS effective potentials between proteins at three volume fractions, 0.012, 0.033, and 0.12. We found that the structure of lysozyme near physiological conditions strongly depends on the volume fraction of proteins. The studied lysozyme solutions are dominated by monomers only for <0.012; for the strong dilution 70% of proteins are in a form of monomers. For 0.033 only 20% of proteins do not belong to a cluster. The clusters are mainly elongated. For 0.12 almost no individual particles exits, and branched, irregular clusters of large extent appear. Our simulation study provides new insight into the formation of equilibrium clusters in charged protein solutions near physiological conditions.
