Experiment-2 of the gastric acidic pH effects (pH = 3.5) (with describing model parameter estimates ±SE) on GH5-tCel5A1 activity over a 5-h period after the gastric pH buffer being mixed with the crude GH5-tCel5A1 enzyme preparation prior to further incubation for measuring cellulase activity with the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) substrate buffer in presence of dithiothreitol (DTT) (5 mM) and N2 gas purging for 15 min at 37 °C. (A) Exponential plot of the inhibition kinetic relationship between GH5-tCel5A1 activity (v, mean ±SE,n=12ateachtimepoint, nmol/mg protein•min) and incubation time (t, h) under gastric pH 3.5 established conditions according to the exponential response model as: Y=48.398±5.710e-0.099±0.049x], P < 0.0001 for the initial residual tCel5A1 activity estimate; and P = 0.045 for the rate constant estimate; R2=0.080, n = 84; and alternatively, according to the linear response model established as y=48.644±5.127-4.193±1.782x, P < 0.0001 for the intercept; and P = 0.021 for the slope, r2=0.087, n = 84; (B) Exponential plot of the inhibition kinetic relationship between relative GH5-tCel5A1 activity (v, mean ±SE,n=12ateachtimepoint, % of the control group measured (100.000 ± 19.72) at 0-min exposure to the gastric pH-3.5 incubation) and incubation time (t, h) under gastric pH 3.5 conditions according to the exponential response model established as: Y=107.3±12.664e-0.099±0.049x], P < 0.0001 for the initial residual GH5-tCel5A1 activity estimate; and P = 0.045 for the rate constant estimate; R2=0.080, n = 84; and according to the linear response model established as y=107.9±11.369-9.299±3.952x, P < 0.0001 for all parameter estimates, r2=0.087, n = 84; (C) the Eadie-Hofstee linear plot between the GH5-tCel5A1 enzyme activity [v, mean ±SE,n=12ateachdatapoint, nmol/mg protein•min] and the v/t ratio established as y=17.637±3.067-1.008±0.113x, P < 0.0001 for all parameter estimates; r2=0.564, n = 72; and (D) the Eadie-Hofstee linear plot between the relative GH5-tCel5A1 enzyme activity [v, mean ±SE,n=12ateachdatapoint, % of the control group, Ic at 100.000 ± 19.72) measured at 0-min exposure gastric pH-3.5 incubation] and the v/t ratio established as y=39.114±6.801-1.008±0.113x, P < 0.0001 for all parameter estimates;, r2=0.564, n = 72.
