Abstract
Proteolysis of the hydroxylase component of soluble methane monooxygenase (MMO) with trypsin yielded a protein which retained 50% activity in a standard MMO assay. In an H2O2-driven assay, in which H2O2 replaced two of the protein components, NADH and O-2 used in the standard assay, the proteolysed hydroxylase retained full activity for ethane, propane and propene, but had a 2-3-fold increase with methane as substrate. Several crosslinking reagents have been tested for their ability to stabilise the proteolysed form of the hydroxylase. Using polyoxyethylene bis(imidazolyl carbonyl) (M(r) 3350) as the crosslinking agent, increased thermostability of the hydroxylase was observed. Activated methoxypolyethylene glycol(M(r) 5000) was used to modify the hydroxylase which was now soluble in organic solvents as well as water and could be activated by H2O2. The glycol-modified hydroxylase functioned well in organic solvents in the catalysis of propene oxidation.
