Abstract
The conformational stability of beta-lactoglobulin increases in D2O over that in H2O. This is concluded from an increase in peak temperature by about 3 degrees C of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms and from a decrease in overall aggregation rate. However, effects of pH and salt concentration on the heat-induced aggregation (reaction kinetics, DSC thermograms and aggregate growth) are similar in H2O and D2O. This indicates that the mechanism of heat-induced aggregation of beta-lactoglobulin is not significantly affected by replacement of H2O with D2O.Entities:
