Abstract

A mono-aminated dextran derivative was attached to Bacillus badius phenylalanine dehydrogenase via a carbodiimide-catalyzed reaction. The optimum temperature for the conjugate was 10 °C higher than for native enzyme, and its thermostability was improved by 8 °C. The activation free energy of thermal inactivation at 45 °C was increased by 16.8 kJ/mol. The improved conformational stability of the modified enzyme was confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy.
