Abstract
We have studied binding properties of three detergents, i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Sarkosyl and sodium lauroyl glutamate (SLG), to model proteins based on their effects on electrophoretic mobilities of the proteins using agarose native gel electrophoresis and circular dichroism (CD). This simple technology can evaluate the dissociative properties of bound detergents from the proteins and their effects on protein structure. SDS influenced the electrophoretic mobilities of all model proteins more strongly than the other two detergents, implying a stronger inclination for protein binding and subsequent alterations in protein structure or reductions in activity, which are supported by CD analysis. On the contrary, Sarkosyl and SLG showed weaker binding and interfered less with the structure and biological activities, indicating that these detergents may be useful for protein purification and analysis. It appeared that SLG was weaker in protein binding than Sarkosyl, although the effects of these two detergents appeared to depend on the proteins.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical Chemistry publishes original work and reviews in the areas of chemistry and physics directly impacting biological phenomena. Quantitative analysis of the properties of biological macromolecules, biologically active molecules, macromolecular assemblies and cell components in terms of kinetics, thermodynamics, spatio-temporal organization, NMR and X-ray structural biology, as well as single-molecule detection represent a major focus of the journal. Theoretical and computational treatments of biomacromolecular systems, macromolecular interactions, regulatory control and systems biology are also of interest to the journal.
