Resumo
Um estudo comparativo de onze métodos para determinação da atividade da dextranasacarase e de enzimas relacionadas foi realizado. Atualmente existem dois métodos usualmente empregados na determinação da atividade da dextranasacarase. Um método relativamente difundido para a reação da enzima com a sacarose consiste na medição dos valores redutores da D-frutose pelo reagente 3,5-dinitrosalicilato (DNS). Outro método é a reação da enzima com 14Csacarose, pela adição de uma alíquota da reação em papel de filtro Whatman 3MM, que posteriormente é lavado com metanol para a remoção da 14C-D-frutose e da 14C-sacarose não reagida, seguido da quantificação de 14C-dextrana por contador de cintilação líquida (CCL). Foi mostrado, pelo estudo realizado, que ambos os métodos geram dados errados. O método por quantificação do valor redutor proporciona resultados extremamente altos devido à oxidação tanto da D-frutose quanto da dextrana, e o método do 14C-papel gera resultados significativamente baixos devido à remoção de parte da 14C-dextrana do papel, pela lavagem em metanol. Neste trabalho, foram testados onze métodos, dentre os quais, dois apresentaram resultados idênticos, sendo considerados métodos confiáveis de medição da atividade da dextranasacarase. Este trabalho também reporta a caracterização físico-química de uma nova dextrana produzida por Leuconostoc mesenteroides FT045B. A estrutura química do polímero foi caracterizada por Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier e por Espectroscopia de 1H Ressonância Magnética Nuclear. A dextrana produzida foi hidrolisada por endodextranase e seus produtos da reação do aceptor com maltose foram analisados por cromatografia em camada delgada e comparados com a dextrana comercial B512F obtida da Sigma Company. A massa molecular media e o grau de polimerização da dextrana produzida...
A comparative study of nine assay methods for dextransucrase and related enzymes has been made. A relatively widespread method for the reaction of the enzyme with sucrose, is the measurement of the reducing value of D-fructose by alkaline 3,5- dinitrosalicylate (DNS). Another method is the reaction with 14C-sucrose, with the addition of an aliquot to Whatman 3MM paper squares that are washed 3-times with methanol to remove 14C-D-fructose and unreacted 14C-sucrose, followed by counting of 14C-dextran on the paper by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). It is shown that both methods give erroneous results. The reducing value method gives extremely high values due to over-oxidation of both D-fructose and dextran, and the 14C-paper square method gives significantly low values due to the removal of some of the 14Cdextran from the paper, by the methanol washes. In the present study, we have examined nine methods and find two that give values that are identical and are an accurate measurement of the dextransucrase reaction. This work also reports the physical and chemical characterization of a new dextran produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides FT045B. The chemical structure of the polymer was characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The dextran produced was hydrolyzed by endodextranase and its products from the acceptor reaction with maltose were analyzed using thin layer chromatography and compared with those of a commercial native dextran B512-F obtained from the Sigma Company. The average molecular weight and degree of polymerization of the dextran produced were determined through the measurement of the reducing value using the copper bicinchoninate method and the measurement of the total carbohydrates using the phenol-sulfuric acid method. All data revealed a very similar structure to that of the commercial dextran B512F from... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
