Effect of microwave irradiation on secondary structure of α-amylase by circular dichroism
2011
Based on the starch hydrolysis reaction accelerated by microwave irradiation with α-amylase, the circular dichroism (CD) and secondary structure changes of α-amylase under the condition of microwave irradiation and water bath were studied by circular dichroism spectra. The results showed that, both the peak heights (at λ=193 nm) of the CD spectra of the samples treated by microwave irradiation and water bath reduced. The reduced rate by microwave irradiation ranged from 140% to 220%, while the reduced rate by water bath ranged from 60% to 140%. The peak of the sample treated by microwave irradiation for 60 min disappeared at λ=193 nm, while the sample showed a wake peak by water bath. The peak position by microwave irradiation emerged a blue shift in the range of 5–8 nm at λ=204 nm and λ=220 nm, while it emerged in the range of 3–5 nm by water bath. With time going on, the microwave irradiation and water bath have prompted the secondary structure of α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn and the mutual transformations of random coil, but the trends were different.
