摘要

The thermodenaturation behavior of Bacillus subtilis α-amylase on some chromatographic media was studied by determining their adsorption parameters with frontal analysis. The experimental results show that on a RP-C18 reversed-phase medium, a Chelating Sepharose Fast-Flow chelated by Zn2+ affinity medium and a WCX-1 cation-exchange medium, a stable conformation of a-amylase molecule separately exists below or over 30℃; while on a PEG-400 hydrophobic medium and a modified PEG-400 medium, a stable conformation of α-amylase mole-cule separately exists below 40 and 30℃, and when the experimental temperatures are separately over 40 and 30℃,a drastically conformational change of α-amylase molecules can continuously take place. And by combining the in-trinsic fluorescence emission spectrum and thermal inactivation profile of α-amylase in free solution and on the PEG-400 and modified PEG-400 hydrophobic media, it can be concluded that in liquid chromatographic procedure,chromatographic media can induce the conformational change of a-amylase molecules and promote their ther-modenaturation; and in hydrophobic interaction chromatography, the higher the hydrophobicity of chromatographicmedium, the lower the conformational change temperature of a-amylase molecules on the chromatographic me-dium.
