Figure 5. Thermodynamic characterization of monomeric and dimeric MpNep2 by chemical and physical agents.

Figure 5

A. Urea denaturation plots obtained by monitoring Trp fluorescence emission and calculating as degree of denaturation (α) from equations 1 and 2 (see Material and methods). Inset shows linear regression of Inline graphicversus urea. B. MpNep2 dimer treated with different urea concentrations and recorded by UFLC with a running buffer that do not contain urea. C. MpNep2 dimer treated with different urea concentrations and recorded by UFLC with a running buffer containing the corresponding urea concentration depicted on legend. D. Thermal denaturation plots obtained by monitoring Trp fluorescence emission and calculating degree of denaturation. A and D – Experiments are shown as mean (n = 3) with independent protein preparations. B and C – UFLC was performed on Superdex 75 and Superdex 200, respectively at 0.7 mL.min−1.
