Síntese induzida por radiação de nanocarreadores bioativos à base de papaína para carreamento de radiofármaco / Synthesis induced by radiation of bioactive papain-based nanocarrier for radiopharmaceutical carrierFazolin, Gabriela Nemesio 15 April 2019 (has links)
A papaína, enzima proteolítica extraída do fruto da Carica papaya Linnaeus, apresenta grande perspectiva para carreamento de fármacos devido propriedade anti-inflamatória, antitumoral e aumento da permeação. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as variáveis de processo da síntese radio-induzida, com o propósito de avaliar a influência destes parâmetros na formação da nanopartícula além do seu potencial como nanocarreador. A síntese foi realizada na presença (20%, v/v) e ausência de etanol, tampão fosfato e radiação gama (10 kGy) para reticulação e esterilização simultânea. As amostras foram avaliadas através da técnica de espalhamento dinâmico de luz, para verificar diâmetro hidrodinâmico, UV e fluorescência para verificação do conteúdo proteico e estrutura secundária, respectivamente. A atividade enzimática foi avaliada utilizando o substrato N-alfa-benzoil-DL-arginina-4-nitroanilida (BAPA). Parâmetros como concentração proteica, molaridade do tampão, pH, tempo e temperatura de solvatação e taxa de dose foram estudados. Posteriormente, foi realizado estudo da estabilidade por 180 dias e demonstração da capacidade de radiomarcação utilizando o tecnécio-99m, além da natureza da reticulação e esterilização das amostras. Conclui-se que a síntese otimizada das nanopartículas de papaína ocorre a 10 mg.mL-1 utilizando tampão fosfato 50 mM com (pH 7) à 0°C, tempo de solvatação de 1 a 6 horas e taxa de dose de 5 kGy.h-1. Ao usar essas condições, a formação de nanopartículas ocorrerá de maneira mais efetiva e com atividade proteolítica preservada. A reticulação das nanopapaínas, nas condicões descritas acima, ocorrem majoritariamente por natureza intramolecular e apresenta esterilidade na dose estabelecida de 10 kGy. As amostras se mostraram estáveis por até 30 dias quando mantidas sob 0°C. A radiomarcação com 99mTc por via direta obteve eficiência de 90% e demonstrou o grande potencial da nanopartícula como nanocarreador. / Papain, proteolytic enzyme extracted from the fruit of Carica papaya Linnaeus, presents great prospect for drug delivery due to the anti-inflammatory and antitumor proprieties and increased permeation. The present work aims to study variable process conditions of radio-induced synthesis, with the purpose of evaluating the influence of the parameters on the nanoparticle formation and potential for radiopharmaceutical loading. The synthesis was performed in the presence (20%, v/v) and absence of ethanol, phosphate buffer and ionizing radiation at 10 kGy, using 60Co as a radioactive source to promote crosslinking and simultaneous sterilization. The samples were evaluated by dynamic light scattering to verify hydrodynamic diameter, UV and fluorescence for verification of protein content and secondary structure, respectively. The enzymatic activity was evaluated using N-alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-4-nitroanilide (BAPA) as specific substrate. Parameters such as protein concentration, buffer molarity, pH, time and temperature of solvation and dose rate were studied in order to evaluate the changes and the effect of each condition on the formation of the nanoparticle. Subsequently, a study of the stability of the samples for 180 days and the efficiency of the radiolabeling with technetium-99m were carried out. Additionally, the nature of protein crosslinking and the sterilization was studied. It was concluded that the optimized synthesis of papain nanoparticles occurs at 10 mg.mL-1 using 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6-7) at 0°C, solvation time of 1 to 6 hours and dose rate of 5 kGy.h-1. By using these conditions, the formation of nanoparticles will occur more rapidly, with preserved proteolytic activity and considerable levels of cross-linking. Papain crosslinking are intramolecular and 10 kGy demonstrate sterilized potential. Samples were stable for 20-30 days when kept at 20°C and 0-4°C, respectively. Radiolabeling with technetium by direct route obtained efficiency of 90% and demonstrated great potential as a nanocarrier.

Avaliação de diferentes métodos para o estudo da mecânica respiratória em um modelo murino de enfisema pulmonar / Evaluation of different methods for the study of the respiratory mechanics in a murine model of pulmonary emphysemaPinto, Tatiana da Silva 01 October 2008 (has links)
Camundongos Balb/c receberam instilação intranasal de 50 l de papaína (20 mg/ml) ou solução salina. A instilação de papaína resultou em uma diminuição significativa de Ers (p=<0,001), Gtis (p=0,030) e Htis (p=0,012). Houve um aumento de k, uma constante medida na curva PV. Não observamos diferença estatística nos parâmetros R e E na mecânica do parênquima pulmonar quando comparamos os diferentes grupos. Os camundongos instilados com papaína apresentaram valores aumentados do diâmetro alveolar médio no tecido pulmonar e aumento na proporção de fibras de colágeno, comparados aos que receberam salina (p<0,001 e p=0,004, respectivamente). As medidas in vivo detectaram alterações pulmonares em camundongos enfisematosos. Entretanto, as medidas in vitro, na mecânica do parênquima pulmonar, não foram capazes de detectar essas alterações. / Male Balb/c mice received a nasal drop of 50 l of papain (20 mg/ml) or normal saline. After 28 days of instillation, lungs from papain-treated mice showed a significant decrease in mean values of Ers (P=<0,001),Gtis (P=0.030) and Htis (P=0.012). There was an increase in mean values of k, a constant measured in P-V curve. We did not observe a significant difference between the groups in R and E in lung tissue strips. Papain instillation presented greater values of mean linear intercept and increase in the density of collagen fibers in alveolar septa in pulmonary tissue than saline-treated mice (P<0.001 and P=0.004, respectively). We conclude that in vivo measurements of pulmonary mechanics detected pulmonary emphysematous changes in mice. In contrast, in vitro measurements in lung strips with oscillatory mechanics did not detect these changes

Estudo comparativo da estabilidade de formulações cosméticas contendo papaína livre e modificada / Comparative study of cosmetic formulations stability containing free and modified papainPinto, Claudineia Aparecida Sales de Oliveira 08 April 2005 (has links)
A papaína é uma enzima utilizada em formulações tópicas como agente proteolítico debridante, no tratamento de lesões abertas de grande extensão e queimaduras. Também empregada como agente promotor da permeação cutânea, peeling químico e como agente depilatório progressivo. A estabilidade de formulações contendo enzimas não é facilmente alcançada. No presente trabalho realizou-se a modificação da papaína com polietilenoglicol, visando maior estabilidade. O Teste de Estabilidade Normal de formulações cosméticas incorporadas de papaína não modificada e modificada apresentou um perfil diferenciado para a atividade da enzima modificada, nas diferentes condições de temperatura (5 ± 1 °C; 22 ± 2 °C, 40 ± 2 °C), sendo que a mais adequada para a papaína não modificada foi de 5 ± 1 °C e para a modificada foi de 22 ± 2,0 °C. Estes resultados confirmam o aumento da estabilidade da papaína modificada e o seu potencial de aplicação em formulações de uso tópico. / Papain is an enzyme used in formulations for local application as proteolitic debridant agent, treatment of wound exposed in large extension and burns. It is also applied as promotor agent of cutaneous permeation, chemical peeling and as progressive depilatory agent. The stability of formulations with enzymes is not easily obtained. In this work modification of papain with polyethylenglycol was made in order to obtain more stability. The Test of Normal Stability of cosmetic formulations incorporated with papain not-modified and modified, showed a differentiated profile for modified enzyme in different conditions of temperature (5 ± 1 °C; 22 ± 2 °C, 40 ± 2 °C), being that, the most adequated for papain not-modified was 5 ± 1°C and for modified was 22 ± 2,0 °C. These results confirm the increase of stability of papain modified and its potential application in formulations for local application.

Investigating the Substrate Specificity of the Equivalent Papain-like Protease 2 Domain of nsp3 across Alpha- and Beta-CoronavirusesJozlyn Clasman (6632228) 11 June 2019 (has links)
<div>The papain-like protease (PLP) domain of nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3) of the coronavirus (CoV) genome promotes viral replication by processing the CoV polyprotein (protease) and also antagonize innate immune responses by deubiquitinating (DUB) and deISGylating (deISG) host substrates. Selectively removing the DUB/deISG activities of PLP while keeping the protease activity intact is a potential strategy for designing a live attenuated virus. However, it is unclear in the literature the precise mechanism by which PLPs support CoV evasion of the innate immune system. Deciphering the substrate specificity of PLPs for host ubiquitin (Ub) and interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) can therefore help in the design of PLP mutants that selectively lack one activity for evaluating the DUB and deISG mechanism in CoV pathogenesis and replication. </div><div> In this dissertation, we investigate the structure and function of the single PLP (PLpro) from beta-CoVs, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which are dangerous viral pathogens that emerged from a zoonotic source to cause infectious disease in the human population. Additionally, we translate the knowledge gained to the equivalent PLP2 from alpha-CoV porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), which cause fatal disease in suckling piglets on industrial pork farms and household cats, respectively. The primary objective of this work is to rationally design PLP mutants across beta- and alpha-CoVs to help attenuate CoV infection, as no antiviral or vaccine exist for human CoVs and the efficacy of PEDV vaccines are an ongoing research topic. </div><div><br></div><div>In Chapter 1, different human, animal, and the bat origin CoV strains are introduced. The CoV life-cycle and virion structure are outlined, along with the replicase complex for viral replication. The multidomain nsp3 from alpha- and beta-CoV genomes are also described with a focus on the PLP domain and its proposed cleavage sites of the viral polyprotein. The discovery of the first viral protease DUB and the multiple activities of PLPs are defined, which includes a proposed model of how DUB versus deISG activities may act in the innate immune response. This leads into the therapeutic potential of PLP for an antiviral or live attenuated vaccine, which is followed by the introduction of live attenuated vaccines and the reverse genetics system. Next, proof of concept studies on PLP2 mutants are described and the introduction is concluded by stating the ultimate goal for the design of PLP mutants.</div><div><br></div><div>In Chapter 2, we hypothesize that the flanking ubiquitin-like (Ubl2) domain of MERS-CoV PLpro is not required for its enzymatic function. We characterize the specific activity, kinetics, substrate specificity, and inhibition of the PLpro enzyme with and without the Ubl2 domain and reveal that the Ubl2 domain does not significantly alter PLpro function. We determine the structure of the core PLpro, smallest catalytic unit to 1.9 Å resolution and observed no structural changes compared to the wild-type. Additionally, we demonstrate that a purported MERS-CoV PLpro inhibitor is nonselective in non-reducing conditions and should not be pursed for therapeutic use. We show that the core PLpro enzyme i.e. without the Ubl2 domain is a stable and robust construct for crystallization and is also thermally stable based on thermal melting studies with utility for structure-based drug design. </div><div><br></div><div>In Chapter 3, we shed light on the specificity of SARS-CoV PLpro towards Ub versus ISG15 by characterizing the specific activity and kinetic parameters of SARS-CoV PLpro mutants. In addition, the structure of SARS-CoV PLpro in complex with the C-terminal domain of ISG15 is determined and compared with the Ub-bound structure. Based on the structure and kinetic results, the altered specificities of SARS-CoV PLpro mutants Arg167Glu, Met209Ala, and Gln233Glu are compared with the wild-type. Arg167Glu mutant exhibits DUB hyperactivity and is expected to adopt a more favorable interaction with the Arg42 of Ub. At the same time, ARG167GLU contains a shorter side-chain that hinders interaction with the unique Trp123 of ISG15 for deISG activity compared to the wild-type. These results aid in the development of SARS-CoV PLpro mutants that have directed shifts in substrate specificity for Ub versus ISG15. </div><div><br></div><div>In Chapter 4, the process and antiviral activity of ISGylation is reviewed and how viruses can modulate host-derived versus virus-derived machineries to counteract ISGylation for viral infection. MERS-CoV PLpro is cross-reactive for Ub, but less is known about its specificity towards ISG15. In this study, we determine the structure of MERS-CoV PLpro bound with ISG15 to 2.3 Å resolution and reveal a small hydrophobic pocket of ISG15 that consists of P130 and W123, which differs from Ub hydrophobic patch. We design and determine the kinetic parameters for 13 PLpro mutants and reveal that MERS-CoV PLpro only has a single ubiquitin recognition (SUb1) site. Kinetic studies show that removing the charge of the R1649 greatly enhances DUB/protease activity while mutating in an Arg near R42 of Ub or ISG15 hydrophobic region is detrimental to both DUB/deISG activities. Kinetic experiments and probe-reactivity assays showed that Val1691Arg, Val1691Lys, and His1652Arg mutants are drastically reduced DUB/deISG activities compared to the wild-type. Overall, MERS-CoV PLpro mutants with alter kinetic profiles will be useful for discovery tools and DUB/deISG deficient mutants are great candidates for removing host cell antagonism activity by PLpro for live attenuated vaccines.</div><div><br></div><div>In Chapter 5, the goal is to translate the knowledge gained in Chapters 2-4 on beta-CoVs PLpro and evaluate the substrate specificity of alpha-CoVs FIPV and PEDV PLP2 for mutagenesis experiments. First, we design and purify the core PLP2 enzymes for kinetics. PLP2s are efficient DUBs that prefer Ub to ISG15 in vitro, and this preference is conserved in beta-CoV MHV PLP2 as well as alpha-CoV NL63 PLP2. We determine the structure of alpha-CoV PEDV PLP2 to 1.95 Å resolution and reveal the unique Zn-finger coordinating Cys3-His arrangement of the alpha-CoV genus that differs from past beta-CoV PLP crystal structures. To determine residues of the SUb1 site, we generate a homology model of FIPV PLP2 and overlay our PLP2 structures with MERS-CoV PLpro bound with Ub. In addition, we create electrostatic surface maps across coronaviral PLP subfamilies to evaluate the charge distribution of the SUb1 for the rational design of several FIPV and PEDV PLP2 mutants. We evaluate the turnover of PLP mutants for FRET-based substrates and reveal that His101ArgFIPV and Asn101ArgPEDV are drastically reduced in Ub-AMC activity while their peptide activities are within 2-fold of the wild-type. These mutants show delayed reactivity for Ub probes and no longer cleave Ub-chains displaying isopeptide bonds compared to the wild-type. Results from this study reveal a hot spot in both alpha- and beta-CoVs that can be used to selectively remove DUB activity of PLPs for generating a DUB deficient PLP enzyme. </div><div><br></div><div>In this dissertation, we investigate the substrate specificity of PLPs across alpha- and beta-CoVs and develop a fingerprint for Ub and also shed light on ISG15 recognition. Specifically, hot spots were identified in the SUb1 site of different PLPs, which recognize R42 and hydrophobic Ile44 of Ub. Position 97-98 of PLPs can be used to remove DUB activity by substituting an Arg, but usually effect protease function. Substituting an Arg at position 101 and 136 of coronaviral PLPs serve as the best strategy to remove DUB function while not hindering active site functionality. The DUB/deISG deficient mutants described will be useful for inhibiting the ability of PLPs to function in the innate immune response. Ultimately, this work provides a guide for identifying attenuating mutants in existing CoVs for live attenuated vaccines and also a blueprint for engineering PLPs from new emerging CoVs. </div>

Obtenção de hidrolisados proteicos de tilápia vermelha (Oreochromis niloticus var.), atividade antioxidante e eficiência como fonte suplementar de nitrogênio para bioprocessos / Production of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus var.) protein hydrolyzates and evaluation of their antioxidant activity and efficiency as a supplementary source of nitrogen for bioprocessesNepomuceno, Elizângela Falcão do Vale 12 July 2018 (has links)
Os resíduos de pescado são descartados, em sua maioria, gerando um alto impacto ao ambiente; ou subutilizados em co-produtos de baixo valor agregado. O presente estudo objetivou a obtenção de hidrolisados proteicos a partir de resíduos sólidos oriundos do processamento industrial de tilápia vermelha (Oreochromis niloticus var.), avaliando sua capacidade antioxidante e eficiência como fonte suplementar de nitrogênio para o crescimento de bactérias e leveduras. Um total de 30 carcaças inteiras não evisceradas, sem filé e pele, com peso médio de 741,53g, foram mecanicamente homogeneizadas. A composição centesimal apresentou 54,34±0,31g/100 g de umidade, 8,46±0,72 g/100 g de cinza, 27,03±2,94 g/100 g de proteína e 10,17±0,65 g/100 g de lipídeos, assim como a carga microbiana do homogeneizado estava dentro dos limites de tolerância preconizados pela legislação vigente para consumo humano. Foram otimizadas as condições de hidrólise proteica quanto à concentração de substrato, enzima e tempo de hidrólise, dos resíduos sólidos de tilápia vermelha, resultando na obtenção de modelos preditivos para o grau de hidrólise (GH) produzido tanto pelas enzimas endógenas como pelas enzimas comerciais neutrase e papaína. OGH diminuiu significativamente (p < 0,05) com o incremento da concentração de substrato, exceto na hidrólise produzida pelas enzimas endógenas sob condições ótimas para papaína. Não obstante, o GH produzido pelas enzimas endógenas aumentou significativamente (p < 0,05) com o incremento do tempo de hidrólise, enquanto que o incremento na concentração de papaína também aumentou significativamente (p <0,05) o GH nos resíduos. Rendimento de 80,95 ± 3,12%, e GH de 45,33 % foram alcançados sob condições ótimas para neutrase (22 g substrato/100 mL e 0,277 g enzima/100 g proteína durante 3 min), enquanto que a papaína teve um rendimento de 82 ± 2,21% e GH de 42,37% sob condições ótimas (18,5 g substrato/100 mL e 0,570 g enzima/100 g proteína durante 3 min). As peptonas produzidas apresentaram atividade antioxidante quanto à capacidade de sequestro dos radicais livres ABTS e DPPH, sendo esta incrementada significativamente (p < 0,05) com o aumento da concentração de peptona. As peptonas também foram altamente eficientes para o crescimento das bactérias Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes e Staphylococcus aureus, e para a levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sendo similares ou mesmo superiores quando comparadas às três peptonas comerciais. Os resultados obtidos no presente trabalho demonstraram, portanto, que os hidrolisados proteicos obtidos a partir de resíduos sólidos de tilápia vermelha podem ser uma fonte alternativa de antioxidantes e de nitrogênio para crescimento de microrganismos. / Fish wastes are mostly discarded in Brazil, causing a high environmental impact, or underused in low-valuable coproducts. The present study aimed to obtain protein hydrolysates from solid wastes of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus var.), evaluating their antioxidant activity as well as their efficiency as supplemental source of nitrogen for the growth of bacteria and yeasts. Thirty carcasses with viscera of red tilapia (i.e. tilapia without fillet and skin), with an average weight of 741.53 g, were mechanically homogenized. Proximate composition and microbial quality were determined, containing 54.34±0,31g/100 g of moisture, of ash, 27.03±2,94 g/100 g of protein and 10.17±0,65 g/100 g of lipids, as well as microbial levels in concordance with the legal limits in force. Conditions for the proteolysis of solid wastes of red tilapia (concentration of substrate, concentration of enzyme and time of hydrolysis) were optimized. Predictive models for the degree of hydrolysis (DH) generated by both endogen enzymes and thecommercial enzymes neutrase and papain were obtained. DH decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with the increase of the concentration of substrate, except in the hydrolysis caused by the endogen enzymes under optimal conditions for papain. However, DH produced by the endogen enzymes increased significantly (p < 0.05) with the increment of the time of hydrolysis. Meanwhile, DH increase significantly (p < 0.05) with the increase of the concentration of papain. A yield of 80.95 ± 3.12% and a DH of 45.33 % were achieved under optimized conditions for neutrase (i.e. 22 g substrate/100 mL and 0.277 g enzyme/100 g protein for 3 min). Moreover, proteolysis with papain reached a yield of 82 ± 2.21% and a DH of 42.37% under optimized conditions (i.e. 18.5 g substrate/100 mL and 0.570 g enzyme/100 g protein for 3 min). Obtained peptones showed antioxidant activity in terms of inhibition of free radicals of ABTS and DPPH, being increased significantly (p < 0.05) with the increment of the concentration of peptone. Peptones also had a high efficiency for the growth of Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, being comparatively similar or higher than commercial peptones. Therefore, results obtained in the present study demonstrated that protein hydrolysates from solid wastes of red tilapia could be an alternative source of antioxidants and nitrogen for the use in bioprocess.

Comparação entre os métodos químico-mecânicos, Carisolv® e Papacárie®, com método mecânico manual na remoção de dentina cariada /Lima, Daniela Coelho de. January 2006 (has links)
Orientador: Nemre Adas Saliba / Banca: Doris Hissako Sumida / Banca: Eduardo Guedes Pinto / Resumo: Na Odontologia atualmente têm-se enfatizado a prática de técnicas menos invasivas para a remoção de tecido cariado, que preservem ao máximo as estruturas dentárias. O interesse clínico e laboratorial por essas técnicas tem aumentado em função da realização de estudos que comprovaram a eficácia da remoção manual de dentina infectada, bem como as vantagens da técnica conservadora e indolor. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar e comparar os tratamentos mecânico manual (ART convencional) e químico-mecânicos (CarisolvTM e Papa-cárie®) na remoção de dentina cariada, por meio da contagem de Streptococcus mutans e Lactobacillus e avaliação clínica de sintomatologia dolorosa durante o procedimento restaurador. Para a realização do presente estudo foram selecionadas 32 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 6 e 10 anos, que apresentavam no mínimo dois molares decíduos, com exposição de dentina cariada. As crianças foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos homogêneos, totalizando 64 dentes. O grupo I foi submetido à remoção mecânica em um elemento dental e em outro dente a químico-mecânica com o uso de Carisolv e o grupo II, a remoção mecânica e a químico-mecânica com o uso do Papacárie®. Durante a realização dos tratamentos foram feitas coletas de dentina, antes e após a remoção de tecido cariado e aplicação de um questionário para a avaliação clínica. Posteriormente, foram realizadas diluições seriadas e cultivo das amostras em meios específicos, Mitis salivarius bacitracina sacarose para a contagem de Streptococcus mutans e Rogosa, para contagem de Lactobacillus ssp. Após o período de incubação, a 37º C e 72 horas, foi realizada a contagem de Unidades Formadoras de Colônias (UFC) e obtidos os valores médios do número de bactérias. / Abstract: In Dentistry, nowadays, it has been emphasizing the practice of techniques less invasive for the removal of decayed tissue that preserve the maximum the dental structure. The clinical laboratorial interest for those techniques have been increasing due to studies that proved the effectiveness of the manual removal of infected dentine, as well as the advantages of the conservative and painless technique. The objective of this study was to analyze and to compare the manual mechanic (conventional ART) and chemical-mechanic (Carisolv and Papa-carie®) treatments in the removal of decayed dentine, through the score of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus and clinical evaluation of pain symptoms during the restorative procedure. For the performance of the present study 32 children were selected, of both genders, with age between 6 and 10 years that presented at least two deciduous molars, with exhibition of decayed dentine. The children were divided at random in two groups, summing 64 teeth. The group I was submitted to the mechanical and chemical-mechanical removal with the use of Carisolv and the group II, mechanical and chemical-mechanic removal with Papacárie®. During the performance of the treatments, dentine sample were collected, before and after the removal of decayed tissue and application of a questionnaire for the clinical evaluation. Later, it was carried out seriate dilutions and cultivation of the samples in Mitis- salivarius bacitracin sucrose for the score of Streptococcus mutans and Rogosa, for score of Lactobacillus ssp. After the incubation period, at 37° C and 72 hours, it was carried out the score of the ColonY Forming Units (CFU) and obtained the mean values of the bacteria number. / Mestre

Para tanto, foi utilizada a técnica espectroscópica de fluorescência, em conjunto com a espectroscopia de correlação bidimensional, com as análises sample-sample e variável- variável aplicadas à região do infravermelho médio. Desta forma, foi possível determinar três temperaturas de pré-transição: 34, 54 e 61ºC; sendo que a temperatura de 54ºC foi evidenciada tanto por fluorescência quanto pela análise sample-sample. Já as temperaturas de 34 e 61ºC foram evidenciadas somente na análise sample-sample. Além disso, a análise variável-variável descreveu a dinâmica conformacional durante o processo de desenovelamento. Assim, pode-se relacionar a temperatura e a dinâmica conformacional. / This work presents a study of the unfolding of papain via temperature. In order to do so, the fluorescence spectroscopy technique was used along with two- dimensional correlation spectroscopy by sample-sample and variable-variable analyses applied to the medium infrared region. Thus, it was possible to determine the three papain thermal pre-transition temperatures, 34, 54 and 61º C. The 54º C one was obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy and sample-sample analyses; whereas the 34 and 61ºC, ones, were detected by sample-sample alone. Additionally, through variable-variable analysis it was possible to describe the conformational dynamics during the unfolding process. Therefore, the relationship between temperature and conformational dynamics could be matched.

Estudo do desenovelamento da papaína via espectroscopias de fluorecência e correlação bidimensional no infravermelho /Gonçalves, Eduardo Rogério. January 2009 (has links)
Orientador: Marinônio Lopes Cornélio / Banca: Marcelo Andres Fossey / Banca: Hamilton Cabral / Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta um estudo do processo de desenovelamento da papaína via temperatura. Para tanto, foi utilizada a técnica espectroscópica de fluorescência, em conjunto com a espectroscopia de correlação bidimensional, com as análises sample-sample e variável- variável aplicadas à região do infravermelho médio. Desta forma, foi possível determinar três temperaturas de pré-transição: 34, 54 e 61ºC; sendo que a temperatura de 54ºC foi evidenciada tanto por fluorescência quanto pela análise sample-sample. Já as temperaturas de 34 e 61ºC foram evidenciadas somente na análise sample-sample. Além disso, a análise variável-variável descreveu a dinâmica conformacional durante o processo de desenovelamento. Assim, pode-se relacionar a temperatura e a dinâmica conformacional. / Abstract: This work presents a study of the unfolding of papain via temperature.
