Methane monooxygenase hydroxylase was purified by chromatography and characterized by electrophoresis and spectroscopy. The molecular mass of hydroxylase was 201.3 KDa as determined by gel filtration, whereas the total molecular mass was 234 KDa as judged by SDS-PAGE. Structure study indicated that the enzyme is a homodimer structure, consisting of three subunits, designated alpha, beta, and gamma, with molecular masses of 58 KDa, 36 KDa, and 23 KDa respectively. IEF analysis indicated that the enzyme has a pI of 5.2. The UV-Vis spectrum of hydroxylase revealed an absorption peak near 281 nm and a weak shoulder peak around 395 nm-420 nm, and a fluorescence spectrum revealed an emission peak at 341.3 nm. Circular dichroism measurement indicated that hydroxylase mainly consists of alpha-helical regions. Finally, phylogenetic analysis indicated that this strain is very close to Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007526 Isoelectric Point The pH in solutions of proteins and related compounds at which the dipolar ions are at a maximum. Isoelectric Points,Point, Isoelectric,Points, Isoelectric
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
