At 10% concentration (w/v in 50 mM TES buffer, pH 7.0, containing 50 mM NaCI), both WPI and the enzyme-treated WPI (EWPI) formed heat-induced viscoelastic gels. However, EWPI formed weaker gels (lower storage modulus) than WPI gels. Moreover, a lower gelation point (77 °C) was obtained for EWPI as compared with that of WPI which gelled at 80 °C only after holding 1.4 min. Thermal analysis and aggregation studies indicated that limited proteolysis resulted in changes in the denaturation and aggregation properties. As a consequenece, EWPI formed particulated gels, while WPI formed fine-stranded gels. In keeping with the formation ofa particulate gel, Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) ofthe heat-induced gels (at 80 °C for 30 min) revealed that EWPI gels possessed significantly higher (p < 0.05) cohesiveness, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness but did not fracture at 75% deformation. The results suggest that the domain peptides, especially β-lactoglobulin domains released by the limited proteolysis, were responsible for the altered gelation properties.}, number={2}, journal={NAHRUNG-FOOD}, author={Huang, XL and Catignani, GL and Swaisgood, HE}, year={1999}, month={Apr}, pages={79–85} } @article{huang_catignani_swaisgood_1997, title={Comparison of the properties of trypsin immobilized on 2 Celite(TM) derivatives}, volume={53}, ISSN={["0168-1656"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0168-1656(96)01656-2}, abstractNote={Trypsin was immobilized on 2 Celite derivatives and the kinetic properties of trypsin immobilized on these derivatives were determined and compared. Celite was derivatized with organosilane to give aminopropyl-Celite (APC) and a portion of this derivative was then succinylated to give succinamidopropyl-Celite (SAPC). Trypsin was covalently immobilized on APC using glutaraldehyde to activate amino groups and on SAPC using water-soluble carbodiimide to activate surface carboxyl groups. Enzyme loadings were 13.9 and 17.8 mg ml-1 of beads on APC and SAPC, respectively. Using p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester as substrate, the catalyst specific activity, KMapp and kcat/KMapp were 17.8 U ml-1 of beads, 3.60 and 21.0 mM-1 min-1, respectively, for trypsin-APC as compared with 24.5 U ml-1 of beads, 3.77 and 20.3 mM-1 min-1, respectively, for trypsin-SAPC. With beta-lactoglobulin as substrate, KMapp and kcat/KMapp were 0.36 and 1.62 mM-1 min-1 for trypsin-APC and 0.54 and 1.39 mM-1 min-1 for trypsin-SAPC, respectively. The pH range for optimal activity was much larger for both immobilized forms as compared with the soluble enzyme. The optimal temperature ranges were 40-50 degrees C for trypsin-APC and 50-60 degrees C for trypsin-SAPC. The two methods of immobilization on Celite gave biocataysts with similar kinetic properties but immobilization on SAPC yielded slightly higher loadings and higher specific activities.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Huang, XL and Catignani, GL and Swaisgood, HE}, year={1997}, month={Feb}, pages={21–27} } @article{huang_catignani_swaisgood_1997, title={Micro-scale method for determining foaming properties of protein}, volume={62}, ISSN={["0022-1147"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1365-2621.1997.tb15030.x}, abstractNote={ABSTRACTA 5% protein suspension (4 mL) was whipped in a modified 50‐mL centrifuge tube using a tissumizer equipped with a flat‐bottom generator.

Analysis of reductively denatured peptides by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol indicated the presence of a major peptide with a size of 6400 Da, suggesting that a small peptide was linked to the 8400-Da peptide by a disulfide bond.

Thus, avidin served as a protein spacer between the support and the enzyme. Both the biotinylation of enzyme amino groups and the association of the biotinylated enzyme with soluble avidin caused some loss of enzyme activity. This loss could account for the 3-fold reduction in the specific activity of the immobilized enzyme with carbobenzoxyglutaminylglycine and hydroxylamine as substrates. However, with α s -casein as a substrate, a 24-fold reduction in the k cat value was observed, implying that the rate of reaction with this large substrate molecule was limited by mass transfer. The pH optima and temperature dependences of enzyme catalysis were similar for both the soluble and immobilized enzyme, although the slight differences observed for the immobilized form were also indicative of mass transfer effects. A bimodal pH activity profile with optima at pH 6.5 and 7.5 was obtained with both enzyme forms.
