Abstract
The present work reports the analysis of the intramolecular OH stretching band obtained by InfraRed spectroscopy measurements. In order to characterize the effect of trehalose on the hydration properties of lysozyme the so-called two-state model is adopted for the analysis of the intramolecular OH stretching band. This latter assumes that, provided that the trehalose OH stretching contribution is subtracted, water molecules can be partitioned into two different states of inter-molecular bonding: molecules with two OH groups both hydrogen-bonded within a tetrahedral network, and molecules with one or two dangling OH groups. What emerges from this study is that trehalose significantly influences the hydrogen bond network of water and its temperature behaviour. Such a result confirms that the trehalose induced strengthening of the hydrogen-bond network leads to a stabilization of the lysozyme structure. Moreover, the analysis of the spectra temperature dependence shows a trehalose-induced higher thermal restraint of the lysozyme-trehalose-water system in respect to the lysozyme-water mixture.
期刊介绍:
This journal is of a multi- and inter-disciplinary nature and covers a broad range of fields including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and their intersection. History of science is also included within the topics addressed by the journal. The transactions of the Pelorian Academy started out as periodic news sheets containing the notes presented by the members of the Divisions into which the Academy has been and still is organized, according to subject areas. The publication of these notes for the Division (“Classe”) of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is the responsibility of the Editorial Committee, which is composed of the Director of the division with the role of Chairman, the Vice-Director, the Secretary and two or more other members. Besides original research articles, the journal also accepts texts from conferences and invited talks held in the Academy. These contributions are published in a different section of the journal. In addition to the regular issues, single monographic supplements are occasionally published which assemble reports and communications presented at congresses, symposia, seminars, study meetings and other scientific events organized by the Academy or under its patronage. Since 2004 these transactions have been published online in the form of an open access electronic journal.
