Table 2.
The dependence of the enzymatic activity yield of hen egg-white lysozyme on the time of refolding/reoxidation in 99% (vol/vol) glycerol
Time | Refolding yield, %* |
---|---|
1 min | <0.2 |
15 min | 0.78 ± 0.35 |
30 min | 1.1 ± 0.3 |
60 min | 1.6 ± 0.2 |
12 hr | 8.4 ± 0.4† |
40 hr | 12 ± 1 |
60 hr | 12 ± 1 |
For experimental conditions, see the legend to Table 1.
See the corresponding footnote to Table 1, except that all experiments were done at least in triplicate.
Essentially the same refolding yield was obtained when the refolding/reoxidation of lysozyme was carried out at 37°C; however, upon increasing the temperature to 50°C, the refolding yield dropped by a factor of 3.
