RESUMO
ABSTRACT Alkaline phosphatases (AP) are unspecific enzymes that hydrolyze phosphate esthers. In this Dissertation we have studied the adsorption of two forms of AP in phospholipid Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett films, considered as biomembrane models, at different temperatures. Further, the effect of the presence of a disaccharide, trehalose, as well as some impurities present in its commercial form, in the subphase of the monolayers was tested. We concluded that the use of trehalose without further purification alters the surface pressure-area (Pi-A) curves of the monolayers. In addition, it acts as a good linking agent between successive layers in the Langmuir-Blodgett films of the sodium salt of 1,2-dimirystoyl-sn-glicero-3-phosphate acid, DMPA. In the presence of purified trehalose instead, these effects were not observed. No difference was noticed in the Pi-A curves of DMPA for trehalose concentrations between 10-3 mmol L-1 to 0.1 mmol L-1. The characterization of the impurities by atomic absorption and infrared spectroscopy reveal the presence of amphiphilic compounds as well as electrolytes such as: sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium Two forms of AP were used: one purified from rat osseous plates using detergent solubilization, named DSAP, and the other from Neurospora crassa conidia, CNCAP. Enzyme interaction with phospholipids was followed by changes in Pi-A curves, and their adsorption on DMPA/Zn2+ or DMPA/trehalose LB films using the quartz crystal microbalance technique, QCM. Their presence within the films was also monitored by catalytic activity assays, using PNPP (p-nitrophenylphosphate) as hydrolysis substrate. For DSAP, the highest enzymatic activity was observed when the immobilization was carried out at low temperature (10o C).
