The study showed that exposing Horseradish Peroxidase enzyme to a static magnetic field can increase enzyme activity and change the enzyme's optimal pH, without affecting the optimal temperature. Furthermore, the structural changes in the enzyme when exposed to SMF can affect enzyme activity.
The activity of Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) Enzyme exposed to a static magnetic field (SMF) during the oxidation reaction of pyrogallol (PGL) and the epigallocatechin gallate (EPCG) flavonoid was recorded at different times. As the data showed, the enzyme activity increased by 77.17% with increasing incubation time up to 30 min. The kinetic parameters K-M and V-max for PGL sample incubated in SMF for 30 min were 5.641 x 10(-3 )mM, 4.424 x 10(-2) mmol/min, respectively, and for EPCG sample with the same condition were 8.65 x 10(4) mM, 237 x 10(-3) mmol/min, respectively. Exposure of HRP enzyme to SMF changed the optimum pH from 7.0 to 6.0 in 10 min, but did not create any change in the optimum temperature of the enzyme. After 120 h, the residual activity of normal enzyme was 17% higher than that of the incubated enzyme. The structural changes of the control and HRP enzyme incubated in SMF were investigated by relative viscosity, fluorescence and CD, UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The structural changes in the presence of SMF were found to cause changes in the enzyme activity. In fact, changes in the amount of hydrogen bonds between enzymes and solvents can be a reason for this behavior from a molecular point of view. Using a static magnetic field can provide a new approach to control and direct enzyme-based biological processes. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All fights reserved.
