Effects of lactic acid and NaCl on creatine kinase from rabbit muscle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The lactic acid induced unfolding and the salt-induced folding of creatine kinase (CK) were studied by enzyme activity, fluorescence emission spectra, circular dichroism spectra, and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results showed that the kinetics of CK inactivation was a monophase process. Lactic acid caused inactivation and unfolding of CK with no aggregation during CK denaturation. The unfolding of the whole molecule and the inactivation of CK in solutions of different concentration of lactic acid were compared. Much lower lactic acid concentration values were required to bring about inactivation than were required to produce significant conformational changes of the enzyme molecule. At higher concentrations of lactic acid (more than 0.2 mM) the CK dimers were partially dissociated, as proved by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. NaCl induced the molten globule state with a compact structure after CK was denatured with 0.8 mM lactic acid, and the increasing of anions led to a tight side-chain. The above results suggest that the effect of lactic acid differed from that of other denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride, HCI, or urea during CK folding, and the molten globule state indicates that intermediates exist during CK folding.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
