abstract = {In a case study on five homologous alpha-amylases we
analyzed the properties of unfolded states as obtained from
treatments with GndHCl and with elevated temperatures. In
particular the wavelength of the tryptophan fluorescence
emission peak (lambda(max)) is a valuable parameter to
characterize properties of the unfolded state. In all cases
with a typical red shift of the emission spectrum occurring
during structural unfolding we observed a larger magnitude
of this shift for GndHCl-induced unfolding as compared to
thermal unfolding. Although a quantitative relation between
aggregation and reduction of the unfolding induced red
shifts cannot be given, our data indicate that protein
aggregation contributes significantly to smaller magnitudes
of red shifts as observed during thermal unfolding. In
addition, other properties of the unfolded states, most
probable structural compactness or simply differences in the
conformational scrambling, also affect the magnitude of red
shifts. For the irreversible unfolding alpha-amylases
studied here, transition temperatures and magnitudes of red
shifts are strongly depending on heating rates. Lower
protein concentrations and smaller heating rates lead to
larger red shifts upon thermal unfolding, indicating that
under these conditions the protein aggregation is less
pronounced.},
