These assumptions were confirmed by the electrophoresis study of the washed creams. Electrophoresis of purified fat globules is a convenient method to characterize and quantify proteins adsorbed at the oil-water interface [35]. Electrophoretic data indicate that no casein, nor whey proteins, were adsorbed at the surface of raw-milk fat globule. Upon homogenization, caseins adsorbed preferentially at the lipid-water interface. In this case, bound a-lactalbumin accounted for 16% of the total interfacial proteins. Heat treatment also induced the interaction of proteins with the fat globules. The amount of bound proteins (per mg of lipids) for heated raw milk was half that for homogenized milk. 

Another practical limitation in complex applications lies in the fact that, if temperature is used as a control parameter, one needs to worry about the integrity of a system that is heated too much (e.g., water-membrane systems or a protein heated above its denaturation temperature). When issues such as those mentioned above are addressed, parallel tempering can be turned into a powerful and effective means of enhanced conformational sampling for free energies over a range of temperatures for various systems. 

When formaldehyde-treated proteins were heated in solutions with the same pH values, that is, in 20mM CB (pH 6.0), 20mM phosphate buffer (PB) (pH 6.0) or 20 mM TB (pH 6.0), and in 20 mM CB (pH 7.5) or 20 mM PB (pH 7.5), and in 20mM TB (pH 9.0) or 20mM PB (pH 9.0), different kinds of buffers with the same pH value yielded similar effects on formaldehyde-treated proteins. Heating in the buffers showing the same pH value cleaved methylene bridges with almost the same efficiency and precipitated proteins at pH close to their pis.

To ascertain the upper limit of protein thermostability and to evaluate the effect of additional disulfide bridges on the enhancement of protein thermostability, additional cysteine residues were introduced into several unrelated proteins by site-directed mutagenesis and deactivation behavior tested at 100°C (Volkin, 1987). All the proteins investigated underwent heat-induced beta-elimination of cystine residues in the pH 4—8 range with first-order kinetics and similar deactivation constants kj that just depended on pH 0.8 0.3 h-1 at pH 8.0 and 0.06 0.02 h 1 at pH 6.0. These results indicate that beta-elimination is independent of both primary amino acid sequence and the presence of secondary structure elements. Elimination of disulfides produces free thiols that cause yet another deleterious reaction in proteins, heat-induced disulfide interchange, which can be much faster than beta-elimination. 

The general thermodynamic properties of proteins reported above give rise to several questions What do the asymptotic (at Tx) values of the denaturation enthalpy and entropy mean and why are they apparently universal for very different proteins Why should the denaturation enthalpy and entropy depend so much on temperature and consequently have negative values at low temperature In other words, why is the denaturation increment of the protein heat capacity so large, with a value such that the specific enthalpies and entropies of various proteins converge to the same values at high temperature ... 

The denaturational increment of the heat capacity might be described partly by the increase of the extent of configurational freedom of the protein molecule upon denaturation. However, as was shown by Sturte-vant (J977) and Velicelebi and Sturtevant (1979), the contribution of this effect to the observed denaturational increment of the protein heat capacity cannot be large. This conclusion becomes especially evident from the impossibility of using this configurational effect alone to explain the negative values of the enthalpy and entropy of protein denaturation at low temperatures. 

The most plausible explanation for the significant denaturational increment of the protein heat capacity is that it is due to water that comes in contact with the protein nonpolar groups exposed upon denaturation... 

Heat. Heat denatures most dissolved proteins when the temperature reaches higher than about 50°C. Harsh heat treatment alters the secondary and tertiary structures of proteins. Heat denatura-tion usually results in eventual protein precipitation as a result of destruction of the secondary structure and formation of random aggregates. Some proteins have been found to be heat-stable, especially when ligands are bound to them (i.e., many enzymes are protected against heat by their substrates). This property can be exploited during purification (see Experiment 8).

Ammonium bicarbonate stock (100 mMl was made and stored at 4° C. Stock solutions of all proteins were prepared in 0.1% TFA, 50% acetonitrile solutions and stored at -20°C until use. Aliquots of the stocks, containing 10 to 100 pg of protein, were dried in a centrifugal dryer prior to digestion. To 5 mg of N,N-diethylaminopropyl-bis-(3-hydroxypropyl) phosphine, 1 ml of 50% isopropyl alcohol/50 mM ammonium bicarbonate was added. The samples were then resuspended in 20 pi reagent solution per 10 pg of protein, heated at 80 C for 2 hours, and dried to remove volatile components.

The heat-induced changes to proteins and their states of association have significant consequences for the functionality of proteins. Heat treatment of milk and dairy streams is often used to manipulate the physical functionality of these ingredients.

As noted already, the hydration level above which the protein heat capacity is constant defines completion of the hydration process. The value estimated for lysozyme is 0.38 g of water/g of protein, equivalent to 300 molecules of water/molecule of lysozyme. With regard to other thermodynamic measurements, the sorption Isotherm is not able to define completion of the hydration process, and there can be difficulty in Interpreting scanning calorimetric experiments in terms of completion of hydration, because different states of the system are being compared (frozen and solution, or native and denatured) and during a scanning calorimetric measurement the system is not at equilibrium, allowing reaction rates to influence the response.
