Abstract

Indole beta-cyclodextrin (beta-1) was found to be able to prevent aggregation of citrate synthase (CS) on heating condition. As a result, beta-1 showed anti-CS aggregation in this system by regulating in early stage. The depression mechanism of beta-1 for aggregation of CS is as follows: the beta-1 formed a complex with hydrophobic parts of the beta-sheet structure of CS. From CD spectra, CS was changed own conformation was changed by beta-1 addition. So, it was concluded that beta-1 works as beta-sheet inducer in thermal condition. On the other hand, native beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) shows small suppression capability for CS aggregation.
