ABSTRAK

 

Lipase daripada satu stren Rhizopus rhizopodifonnis yang baru dipencilkan telah diseparatulen dan diciri. Melalui fraksi asiton, enzim telah ditulen lebih kurang 2.8 ganda, dengan pengutipan 62.5% dan aktiviti spesifik 3.2 U/mg. Dengan penurasan gel melalui Sephadex G-l00, enzim ditulenkan lagi hingga 9.7 ganda dengan aktiviti spesifik mencapai 11.1 U/mg. Dengan elektroforesis gel poliakritamida, 5 jalur protein didapati selepas fraksi asetone, sementara 2 jalur protein dilihati selepas penurasan gel Sephadex G-10. Enzim ini mempunyai pH optimum pada pH 6.0 dan suhu optimumnya ialah 45°C Enzim ini paling stabit pada pH 7.0 dan suhu 50°C Enzim mempunyai kepilihan pada trigliserida rantai pendek dan dapat menghidrolisiskan beberapa ester metit. Lipase ini spesifik pada posisi 1,3.

 

ABSTRACT

 

Lipase from a newly isolated strain of Rhizopus rhizopodifonnis was partially purified and characterized. By acetone fractionation, the enzyme was purified to about 2.8 fold, with 62.5% recovery and with specific activity of 3.2 U/mg. By gel filtration through Sephadex G-100, the enzyme was further purified to 9.7 fold and had a specific activity of 11.1 U/mg. By polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, five protein bands were observed after acetone fractionation, white two protein bands were observed after the preparation was passed through Sephadex G-100. It has a pH optimum at 6.0 and a temperature optimum at 45°C. The enzyme is most stable at pH 7.0 and temperature of 50°C. The enzyme has a preference for short chain triglycerides and can also hydrolyse some methyl esters. The lipase is specific for 1,3 positions.
