Abstract

The research included the separation of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) from human blood serum using different biochemical techniques. Two proteinous peaks had been isolated by gel filtration using sephadex)G-50) and three proteinous peaks isolated from sephadex (G-100) that produced by ammonium sulphate precipitation (65%). The approximately molecular weight of the isolated protein as a source of enzyme using gel filtration chromatography (G-100) was (118059 + 925) Dalton.


The results showed two peaks of enzyme when using ion exchange-type DEAE-cellulose and when using electrophoresis technique  type SDS-PAGE indicated the presence of two bands from peak of separation column type sephadex G-100 and one band of each peak, resulting from the ion exchange process with molecular weights of 58231 +490 Dalton.


The results showed that the optimum conditions of purified enzyme from human serum was at (200 µg/ml) of protein as a source of the enzyme using (0.4 mol/l) citric acid-Na2HPO4 buffer solution at pH (7) act for (25) minutes at (40°C). Using Line Weaver-Burk plot, the values of maximum velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis constant (Km) were found to be (0.182 µmol/ min) and (0.013 mol/l) respectively using 5,5-- dithio bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DNTB) as a substrate. Finally, this was, also, involved the study of the effect of some chemicals and drugs on the enzyme activity. The results showed that gundinium - HCl is uncompetitive inhibitor, while bromoacetic acid is noncompetitive inhibitor and zinc sulphate is a competitive inhibitor for the enzyme at different concentrations of inhibitors, but dexathamazone was an activator to the enzyme.
