Abstract
The effect of macromolecular crowding agent dextran 70 and osmolyte sucrose on unfolding of alkaline phosphatase was studied by monitoring changes in enzymatic activity and fluorescence emission spectra.Both dextran 70 and sucrose were found to stabilize the activity and conformation of alkaline phosphatase in GdmCl-induced unfolding.Protection against GdmCl-induced unfolding afforded by sucrose was stronger than by dextran 70.
