| Abstract | In order to search for valuable and extremely thermo-stable enzymes that could be used in the protein hydrolysis industry, the gene corresponding to a leucine aminopeptidase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2 (GtLAP) was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified, and its characteristics were examined. Meanwhile, potential applications of GtLAP in the hydrolysis of anchovy proteins were also investigated. GtLAP was overexpressed in IPTG-induced E. coli BL21 (pET28a-LAP) as a soluble protein, and was purified to homogeneity by nickel-chelate chromatography to a specific activity of 125 ± 8.75 U/mg proteins. The molecular mass of GtLAP was estimated to be 55 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of GtLAP were 70 °C and 8.0, respectively. Under optimal conditions, GtLAP showed a marked preference for Leu-p-nitroanilide, followed by Met- and Phe-derivatives. Activity of GtLAP was strongly stimulated by Ni$^{2+}$ ions, but was strongly inhibited by Hg$^{2+}$. Conformational studies via circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that various factors could influence the secondary structure of GtLAP to various extents and further induce changes in enzymatic activity. Results of hydrolytic experiment showed that combining GtLAP with endogenous enzymes could significantly increase the degree of hydrolysis to anchovy proteins and concentrations of free amino acids in hydrolysates. In this regard, GtLAP could potentially be used in the protein hydrolysis industry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
