Abstract:

The process condition for modifying SOD from sheep blood by lauroyl chloride was explored. Four experimentalparameters including reaction temperature, reaction time and the amounts of lauroyl chloride and acetone added to SODsolution were investigated by one-factor-at-a-time experiments and optimized by orthogonal array design. The highestenzyme activity was observed for SOD with a specific activity of 4 348.6 U/mg in a 10 mL aqueous solution when modifiedby reaction with 0.1 mL of lauroyl chloride and 15 mL of acetone for 30 minutes at 60 ℃. The modified SOD exhibitedimproved heat stability, pH tolerance and half-life compared to the intact one. Therefore, lauroyl chloride can be used tomodify sheep blood SOD for better enzymatic performance.

Key words: sheep blood SOD, lauroyl chloride, modification, enzyme activity
