Abstract
The effect of the sugars sucrose, glucose, and trehalose on the
structural and colloidal stability of lysozyme has been investigated using
differential scanning calorimetry and quasi-elastic light scattering, respectively.
While sugars are known to increase the temperature at which thermal
denaturation of protein occurs, it is not clear if, under the same solution
conditions, greater colloidal stability is achieved. The measurements were
carried out on lysozyme in three different buffer solutions, 0.05 M sodium
acetate (pH 4.6), 0.05 M sodium acetate with 5% (w/v) NaCl, and 10 mM
sodium phosphate (pH 7.0). The results show that enhancement of structural
stability in the presence of sugars is pH, salt concentration, and sugar
dependent. Enhancement of colloidal stability in the presence of sugars, while
also pH and salt concentration dependent, as expected, only correlates with increases in the structural stability when the solution
behavior is not dominated by highly stabilizing electrostatic repulsive interactions.
