Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Proteolysis of Micellar Β-Casein by Trypsin: Secondary Structure Characterization and Kinetic Modeling at Different Enzyme Concentrations(MDPI, 2023) Vorob’ev, Mikhail M.; Açıkgöz, Burçin Dersu; Güler, Günnur; Golovanov, Andrey V.; Sinitsyna, Olga V.Tryptic proteolysis of protein micelles was studied using β-casein (β-CN) as an example. Hydrolysis of specific peptide bonds in β-CN leads to the degradation and rearrangement of the original micelles and the formation of new nanoparticles from their fragments. Samples of these nanoparticles dried on a mica surface were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) when the proteolytic reaction had been stopped by tryptic inhibitor or by heating. The changes in the content of β-sheets, α-helices, and hydrolysis products during proteolysis were estimated by using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In the current study, a simple kinetic model with three successive stages is proposed to predict the rearrangement of nanoparticles and the formation of proteolysis products, as well as changes in the secondary structure during proteolysis at various enzyme concentrations. The model determines for which steps the rate constants are proportional to the enzyme concentration, and in which intermediate nano-components the protein secondary structure is retained and in which it is reduced. The model predictions were in agreement with the FTIR results for tryptic hydrolysis of β-CN at different concentrations of the enzyme.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of a Trypsin Gel Film(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Okur, Salih; Ceylan, Çağatay; Çulcular, EvrenThis study focuses on the humidity adsorption kinetics of an isopropanol-induced and pH-triggered bovine pancreatic trypsin gel (BPTG). The BPTG was adsorbed on a gold coated Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) substrate with a thickness of 376nm. The morphology of the film was characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). QCM was used to investigate the humidity sensing properties of the BPTG film. The response of the humidity sensor was explained using the Langmuir model. The average values of adsorption and desorption rates between 11% RH (relative humidity) and 97% RH were calculated as 2482.5M -1s -1 and 0.02s -1, respectively. The equilibrium constant and average Gibbs Free Energy of humidity adsorption and desorption cycles were obtained as 133,000 and -11.8kJ/mol, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..
