摘要

IN the field of thermodynamics of protein solutions, there are two kinds of denaturation induced by temperature changes. One of them is the commonest heat denaturation induced by temperature increasing and accompanied by a heat absorption and an increase of enthalpy and entropy. The other is cold denaturation, predicted by Brandts over thirty years ago: the compact ordered structure of protein molecules in the native state is induced into a disordered structure with temperature decreasing. The progress of cold denaturation is accompanied by a heat release and a decrease of enthalpy and entropy. The transformation from an ordered structure to a disordered structure will result in an increase of randomness; however, the entropy is not increased but decreased. All these make the cold denaturation seemingly nonun-derstandable. This thermodynamic paradox has aroused great interest among scientists. Different from spectroscopy such as NMR, UV and CD, calorimetry may directly and independently of model determine the denaturational enthalpy. Therefore a strong desire has long been cherished that the exothermic denaturation at low temperature may directly be observed with calorimetry. However, up to now, only for a few proteins has this long cherished desire been fulfilled. In literature the concentration of protein studied was less than 1 % ; the lowest temperature reached by cooling was -- 8°C, and in some cases the peak of cold denaturation recorded was incomplete. In comparison with heat denaturation, the knowledge of cold denaturation is too little. To further the knowledge about the cold denaturation, researchers have been making efforts to make the cold denaturation directly observable for more proteins and under more various conditions. The purpose of this work is to observe directly the behaviour of β-lactoglobulin A (β-LgA) during cold and heat denaturation with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
