Abstract

Although bovine beta-lactoglobulin assumes a monomeric native structure at pH 3 in the absence of salt, the addition of salts stabilizes the dimer. Thermodynamics of the monomer-dimer equilibrium dependent on the salt concentration were studied by sedimentation equilibrium. The addition of NaCl, KCl, or guanidine hydrochloride below 1 M stabilized the dimer in a similar manner. On the other hand, NaClO(4) was more effective than other salts by about 20-fold, suggesting that anion binding is responsible for the salt-induced dimer formation, as observed for acid-unfolded proteins. The addition of guanidine hydrochloride at 5 M dissociated the dimer into monomers because of the denaturation of protein structure. In the presence of either NaCl or NaClO(4), the dimerization constant decreased with an increase in temperature, indicating that the enthalpy change (DeltaH(D)) of dimer formation is negative. The heat effect of the dimer formation was directly measured with an isothermal titration calorimeter by titrating the monomeric beta-lactoglobulin at pH 3.0 with NaClO(4). The net heat effects after subtraction of the heat of salt dilution, corresponding to DeltaH(D), were negative, and were consistent with those obtained by the sed...Continue Reading
