Abstract
The effects of two fractions of pea protein hydrolysate with high levels of positively charged amino acids on the structural conformations of calmodulin (CaM) and CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) were determined using fluorescence and circular dichroism methods. In the presence of Ca2 + , addition of the protein hydrolysates to CaM and CaM/CaMKII complex led to increased exposure of aromatic groups as measured by intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy. Near-UV circular dichroism data revealed an increase in the tertiary structure of CaM in the presence of pea protein hydrolysates. Effect of the protein hydrolysates on the CaM structure was greater with the fraction that contained higher contents of arginine and lysine when compared with the fraction with lower levels of these two amino acids. We concluded that the presence of the pea protein hydrolysates led to rearrangement of the native protein structure and exposure of buried hydrophobic groups of CaM and/or CaMKII.Keywords
