Each value is a mean of three observations. Values followed by different letters differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05 using MstatC software.
Kd= First order rate constant for inactivation;
∆H* (kJ/M)= Ea (57 kJ/M)-RT where Ea is activation energy;
∆G* (kJ/M)= -RT ln {(kd.h)/kB.T)};
∆S* is entropy of irreversible inactivation and was calculated from ∆S = (∆H*- ∆G*) /T.
