E of 200 mL. The R18 and R43 mixtures had been incubated for 30 min at 50uC and for 30 min at 40uC, respectively. For thermostability measurement, the reaction mixture was incubated at 0?0uC without having ethyl ferulate, and FAE activity was measured. The released phenolic compounds have been measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). One particular unit of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that released 1 mmol of FA per minute. For the assay with the activity of other hydroxycinnamate esters, methyl ferulate, methyl caffeate, methyl p-coumarate, methyl sinapinate, and methyl vanillate were utilised as substrates. The assays had been performed using the procedure described above for FAE. A general esterase assay applying pNPB as substrate was performed, plus the released p-nitrophenol was quantified by measuring the absorbance at 410 nm.Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and N-terminal amino acid sequence evaluation of R18 and RSDS-PAGE was carried out in 12 (w/v) gel at area temperature (Bio-Rad; Hercules, CA, USA) per the manufactur-HPLC and LC-mass spectrometry (MS) analysisThe components on the reaction mixture were separated using HPLC with a Symmetry C18 column (3.five mm, 2.1650 mm; Waters; Milford, MA, USA) maintained at 40uC. The separation was performed inside five min, applying a linear gradient of 0.1 formic acid in water containing from 10 to 60 acetonitrile, at a flow rate of 0.three mL/min. The separated FA, caffeic acid, pcoumaric acid, and sinapic acid were detected at 322 nm. The separated vanillic acid was detected at 250 nm. The LC-MS spectra of FA and diferulic acid (di-FA) had been detected by electrospray ionization in the positive-ion model (ESI+) at an m/ z ratio of 195.two and 385, respectively.Figure 2.
