| Abstract | A comparative analysis of the structural and functional aspects along with equilibrium unfolding of two homologous cutinases, Cut1 and Cut2, from Thermobifida fusca was carried out. The CD and fluorescence profile at different pH in the range of 6 to 9 showed no structural variations for both cutinases, indicating their stability to a wide range of pH. Tryptophan quenching studies suggested that all the four Trp residues in the protein are in inaccessible hydrophobic pockets. Further, near-UV CD analysis of tertiary structure revealed a dissimilar distribution of aromatic amino acid on the surface of these two enzymes. Denaturation profiles obtained in aqueous solutions of the guanidine hydrochloride revealed different tolerance levels for unfolding of the two cutinases, with Cut2 showing higher resistivity to unfolding in comparison to Cut1. Both cutinases retained all the structural parameters even in the presence of 8 M urea, indicating the protein to be highly resistant to urea-induced unfolding. Structural study by homology modeling revealed a high resemblance of secondary structure between the two cutinases; however, their tertiary structure, hydrophobicity, and surface electrostatic properties were very different, which contributed to the difference in the structural stability of these two cutinases. |

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.
