Effect of protein molecular weight on the mass transfer in protein mixing
首发时间:2011-01-04
Abstract:Mixing of protein solution with that of precipitating agent is very important in the protein crystallization experiments. In this work, the interferometry images are recorded during the mixing of two proteins with different molecular weight: lysozyme of ~14.6 kDa and trypsin of ~ 23.3 kDa placed in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The protein molecular weight dependence on the competition of the transport process and kinetics at the interface are studied. The concentration profiles of protein solution are calculated to analyze the mass transfer during the mixing process. It is observed that the mass transfer process is more efficient during the mixing of protein with higher molecular weight. In addition, the more rapid concentration changes above the interface suggest that convection may dominate the diffusion. The phenomenon of convection is higher in the protein solutions with higher molecular weight.

蛋白质分子量对其结晶预混时传质过程的影响
摘要:蛋白质与沉淀剂溶液的预混过程在其结晶实验中尤为重要。搭建并应用Mach-Zehnder系统采集两种不同分子量的蛋白质分子(鸡蛋清溶菌酶~14.6kDa和牛胰蛋白酶~23.3kDa)结晶预混过程的干涉图像。对比研究了界面传质时物质输运过程与界面处流体的动力学特性。对反应场内的浓度场进行了计算用以分析预混过程中的传质过程。研究表明高分子量的蛋白质分子在预混过程中具有更高的传质效率。此外,界面以上的浓度变化较快也表明对流作用起主导作用,并且高分子量的蛋白质分子预混过程中的对流现象更加显著。
