Structural changes and aggregation process of Cu/containing amine oxidase in the presence of 2,2,2'-trifluoroethanol.
Conformational and structural changes of lentil seedlings amine oxidase (LSAO) were studied in the presence of trifluoroethanol (TFE) by spectroscopic and analytical techniques. At TFE concentrations up to 5%, the induction of a structural transition from beta-sheet to alpha-helix and up to 10% TFE a structural transition from alpha-helix to beta-sheet as well as inactivation of the enzyme are observed. At TFE concentrations between 10-35%, LSAO proves to be prone to aggregation and beyond 35% TFE leads to a non-native protein structure with a high alpha-helix content. The obtained results revealed that the aggregation of LSAO is strongly linked to the nature of secondary structures.
