General Stability

General Stability Organism
pressure-induced denaturation is a process involving at least three transitions. Low pressure, below 150 mPa, induces slight conformational changes characterized by a slight decrease in the center of the spectral mass of intrinsic fluorescence, whereas no changes in 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid binding fluorescence are observed and 80% of the catalytic activity remains. Higher pressure, 150-500 mPa, induce further conformatiinal changes, characterized by a large decrease in the center of the spectral mass of intrinsic fluorescence, a large increase in the 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid binding fluorescence and the loss of all catalytic activity. A further increase in pressure, above 550 mPa induces transition from this first molten globule-like state to a second malten globule-like state. A similar three-transition process is found for unglycosylated carboxypeptidase Y, but the first two transitions clearly occur at lower pressures than those for glycosylated carboxypeptidase Y Saccharomyces cerevisiae
