Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the lyophilization process of NV protease,and to provide the relative parameters of lyophilization of NV protease.Methods: The NV protease solution was prepared. The circular dichroism of NV protease was analyzed under the condition of different temperatures and pH values. The activity of NV protease was measured using azocasein. The NV protease was lyophilized using two-step lyophilization. The concentration of expediency and the freezing rate of expediency of Tween 80 as a cryoprotectant of NV protease were detected.Results: The activity and solubility of lyophilized NV protease were decreased with the increase of average freezing rate. The expedient of Tween 80 was 0.01% in balancing the activity and solubility of lyophilized NV protease, and the optimal average freezing rate was 2.0℃·min-1 to reduce the time cost of lyophilization.Conclusion: NV protease is resistant to the reduction of the temperature and pH value during lyophilization. The average freezing rate affects the activity and solubility of lyophilized NV protease. The combination of 0.01% Tween 80 and 2.0℃·min-1 average freezing rate is an effective choice for NV protease lyophilization.
