Abstract
Trypsins (E.C. 3.4.21.4) are digestive enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds containing arginine and lysine residues. Some trypsins from fish species are active at temperatures just above freezing, and for that are called cold-adapted enzymes, having many biotechnological applications. In this work, we characterized a recombinant trypsin-III from Monterey sardine (Sardinops caeruleus) and studied the role of a single residue on its cold-adapted features. The A236N mutant from sardine trypsin-III showed higher activation energy for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, it was more active at higher temperatures, and exhibited a higher thermal stability than the wild-type enzyme, suggesting a key role of this residue. The thermodynamic activation parameters revealed an increase in the activation enthalpy for the A236N mutant, suggesting the existence of more intramolecular contacts during the activation step. Molecular models for both enzymes suggest that a hydrogen-bond involving N236 may contact the C-terminal α-helix to the vicinity of the active site, thus affecting the biochemical and thermodynamic properties of the enzyme.

Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a universal technique that directly measures the heat absorbed or released in a process. ITC is typically used to determine thermodynamic parameters of association of molecules without the need to label them. However, ITC is still rarely applied to study chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. In addition, these few studies of enzyme kinetic measurements that have been performed were in diluted solutions. Yet, to estimate realistic kinetic parameters, we have to account for the fact that enzymatic reactions in cells occur in a crowded environment because cells contain 200-400 g/L of macromolecular crowders such as proteins, ribosomes and lipids. Thus we expanded the ITC application for solutions mimicking the cellular environment by adding various macromolecular crowders. We investigated how these crowders affect the kinetics of trypsin-catalyzed reactions and determined the Michaelis-Menten parameters for hydrolysis of two trypsin substrates: Nα-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and Nα-benzoyl-dl-arginine β-naphthylamide (BANA). Since ITC enables investigations of complex and turbid solutions with label-free reagents, it seems a perfect technique for kinetic analyses in crowded solutions. ITC also offers the opportunity to control enzyme-crowder and substrate-crowder interactions.

Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry is a widely used biophysical technique for studying the formation or dissociation of molecular complexes. Over the last 5 years, much work has been published on the interpretation of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) data for single binding and multiple binding sites. As over 80% of ITC papers are on macromolecules of biological origin, this interpretation is challenging. Some researchers have attempted to link the thermodynamics constants to events at the molecular level. This review highlights work carried out using binding sites characterized using x-ray crystallography techniques that allow speculation about individual bond formation and the displacement of individual water molecules during ligand binding and link these events to the thermodynamic constants for binding. The review also considers research conducted with synthetic binding partners where specific binding events like anion-π and π-π interactions were studied. The revival of assays that enable both thermodynamic and kinetic information to be collected from ITC data is highlighted. Lastly, published criticism of ITC research from a physical chemistry perspective is appraised and practical advice provided for researchers unfamiliar with thermodynamics and its interpretation.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms as to how interlinked proteins entangle and fold is a challenge. PaSdsA1 sulfatase is a homo-dimer containing two zinc atoms per monomer. The monomer chains are interlinked in a dimerization domain. To study the unfolding pathways denaturation experiments were performed. In the native protein three forms coexist in chemical equilibrium, each with a different number of zinc atoms. In the chemical unfolding of the holo-dimers the entanglement of the chains is preserved and acts as a 'folding seed', allowing the unfolding process to be reversible. Thermal irreversible unfolding of the holo-dimers favours dissociation, producing monomers that are SDS-stabilized. The thermal unfolding of these monomers is reversible. However, it is not possible to form dimers from unfolded monomers.

Abstract
In the present study, we isolated a trypsin-producing strain DMN6 from the leather waste and identified it as Bacillus licheniformis through a two-step screening strategy. The trypsin activity was increased up to 140 from 20 U/mL through culture optimization. The enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with a molecular mass of 44 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the specific activity of purified enzyme is 350 U/mg with Nα-Benzoyl-l-arginine ethylester as the substrate. The optimum temperature and pH for the trypsin are 65 °C and pH 9.0, respectively. Also, the enzyme can be significantly activated by Ba2+. This enzyme is relatively stable in alkaline environment and displays excellent activity at low temperatures. It could retain over 95% of enzyme activity after 180 min of incubation at 45 °C. The distinguished activity under low temperature and prominent stability enhance its catalytic potential. In the current work, the open reading frame was obtained with a length of 1371 nucleotides that encoded a protein of 456 amino acids. These data would warrant the B. licheniformis trypsin as a promising candidate for catalytic application in collagen preparation and leather bating through further protein engineering.

Abstract
Levansucrase catalyzes the synthesis of fructose polymers through the transfer of fructosyl units from sucrose to a growing fructan chain. Levanase activity of Bacillus subtilis levansucrase has been described since the very first publications dealing with the mechanism of levan synthesis. However, there is a lack of qualitative and quantitative evidence regarding the importance of the intrinsic levan hydrolysis of B. subtilis levansucrase and its role in the levan synthesis process. Particularly, little attention has been paid to the long-term hydrolysis products, including its participation in the final levan molecules distribution. Here, we explored the hydrolytic and transferase activity of the B. subtilis levansucrase (SacB) when levans produced by the same enzyme are used as substrate. We found that levan is hydrolyzed through a first order exo-type mechanism, which is limited to a conversion extent of around 30% when all polymer molecules reach a structure no longer suitable to SacB hydrolysis. To characterize the reaction, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) was employed and the evolution of the hydrolysis products profile followed by HPLC, GPC and HPAEC-PAD. The ITC measurements revealed a second step, taking place at the end of the reaction, most probably resulting from disproportionation of accumulated fructo-oligosaccharides. As levanase, levansucrase may use levan as substrate and, through a fructosyl-enzyme complex, behave as a hydrolytic enzyme or as a transferase, as demonstrated when glucose and fructose are added as acceptors. These reactions result in a wide variety of oligosaccharides that are also suitable acceptors for fructo-oligosaccharide synthesis. Moreover, we demonstrate that SacB in the presence of levan and glucose, through blastose and sucrose synthesis, results in the same fructooligosaccharides profile as that observed in sucrose reactions. We conclude that SacB has an intrinsic levanase activity that contributes to the final levan profile in reactions with sucrose as substrate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a biophysical technique widely used to study molecular interactions in biological and non-biological systems. It can provide important information about molecular interactions (such as binding constant, number of binding sites, free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) simply by measuring the heat absorbed or released during an interaction between two liquid solutions. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW In this review, we present an overview of ITC applications in food science, with particular focus on understanding the fate of lipids within the human gastrointestinal tract. In this area, ITC can be used to study micellization of bile salts, inclusion complex formation, the interaction of surface-active molecules with proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, and the interactions of lipid droplets. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS ITC is an extremely powerful tool for measuring molecular interactions in food systems, and can provide valuable information about many types of interactions involving food components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, surfactants, and minerals. For systems at equilibrium, ITC can provide fundamental thermodynamic parameters that can be used to establish the physiochemical origin of molecular interactions. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE It is expected that ITC will continue to be utilized as a means of providing fundamental information about complex materials such as those found in foods. This knowledge may be used to create functional foods designed to behave in the gastrointestinal tract in a manner that will improve human health and well-being.
