摘要
In this article, a thermodynamic study on the interaction of Jack bean urease, JBU, with Hg2+ and Ag+ ions were studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 300 and 310 K in 30 mM Tris buffer solution, pH 7.0. The heats of JBU + Hg2+ and JBU + Ag+ interactions are reported and analyzed in terms of the extended solvation model. It was indicated that there are a set of 12 identical and non-cooperative sites for Hg2+ and Ag+ ions. The binding of Hg2+ and Ag+ ions with JBU are exothermic with association equilibrium constants of 5415.65 and 4368.15 for Ag+ and 2389 and 2087M(-1) for Hg2+ at 300 and 310 K, respectively.
