Scanning microcalorimetry has been used to study the effect of ethanol on thermal denaturation of soybean globulin fraction (SBGF) at pH 6.7 in the range of protein and ethanol concentrations from 0.4 to 4% and from 0 to 3.2M, respectively. The denaturation temperatures of the SBGF components decreased linearly with the increase of ethanol concentration. The specific denaturation enthalpy of SBGF did not depend upon protein and ethanol concentrations. A direct correlation between the slope of the dependence of denaturation temperature on ethanol concentration and the ratio of the square of denaturation temperature and the specific denaturation enthalpy of these proteins was shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
