the main phase of thermal inactivation follows an irreversible two-state mechanism, with loss of about 20% of the helical structure, loss of the majority of the tertiary structure, and partial exposure of tryptophan residues to solution being approximately concurrent with activity loss. This process results in the formation of aggregated molten globules. In addition, a rapid reversible denaturation phase occurs that is not completely coupled to the main phase. Enzyme inactivation is inhibited by the presence of glycerol and trimethylamine oxide. NaCl destabilizes the enzyme at elevated temperature Candida sp. (in: Saccharomycetales)
