NAD+-dependent hydrogenase from the hydrogen oxidizing bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus Z1. Stabilization against temperature and urea induced inactivation. 1986

V O Popov, and A N Ovchinnikov, and A M Egorov, and I V Berezin

Chemical modification of the NAD+-dependent hydrogenase from the hydrogen oxidizing bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus Z1 results in considerable enzyme stabilization towards urea and temperature induced inactivation. The stabilizing effect was shown to originate from the suppression of hydrogenase tetramer dissociation. The magnitudes of the stabilizing effects (5-fold and more) were in agreement with the values predicted on the basis of the enzyme thermoinactivation mechanism postulated earlier. Hydrophobic interactions are considered to be critical for the stability of the enzyme quaternary structure. Various methods of hydrogenase immobilization were tested. The enzyme was immobilized with a high retention of activity on aminated silochrom via its carboxylic groups.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007096	Imidoesters	Esters of the hypothetical imidic acids. They react with amines or amino acids to form amidines and are therefore used to modify protein structures and as cross-linking agents.	Imidates
D009243	NAD	A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D002621	Chemistry	A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D003432	Cross-Linking Reagents	Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.
