45 ℃ (15 min-treatment with 50 mM K-phosphate buffer, pH 7.0)(Fig.7)
Substrate specificity
Specific for β-D-Glucose or 2-Deoxy-glucose (Table.1) (Either NAD+ or NADP+ serves as coenzyme.)
APPLICATIONS
This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of D-glucose.
ASSAY
Principle
The formation of NADH is measured at 340 nm by spectrophotometry.
Unit definition
One unit causes the formation of one micromole of NADH per minute under the conditions detailed below.
Method
Reagents
A. Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.0
0.1 M
B. D-Glucose solution
1.5 M
C. β-NAD+ solution
80 mg/mL
D. Enzyme diluent
50 mM K-phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 contg. 0.1 % BSA
Procedure
1.Prepare the following reaction mixture in a cuvette (d = 1.0cm) and equilibrate at 37 ℃ for approximately 5 minutes.

Concentration in assay mixture
Tris-HCl buffer

D-Glucose
147.54 mM
NAD+
3.66 mM
2.Add 0.05 mL of the enzyme solution* and mix by gentle inversion.
3.Record the increase in optical density at 340 nm against water for 2 to 5 minutes with a spectrophotometer thermostated at 37 ℃, and calculate the ΔOD per minute from the initial linear portion of the curve (ΔOD test).
At the same time, measure the blank rate (ΔOD blank) using the same method as the test except that the enzyme diluent (D) is added instead of the enzyme solution.
*Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold enzyme diluent (D), dilute to 0.8−1.2 U/mL with the same buffer and store on ice.
Calculation
Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :
Volume activity (U/mL) =
ΔOD/min (ΔOD test−ΔOD blank)×Vt×df
6.22×1.0×Vs
= ΔOD/min×9.807×df
Weight activity (U/mg) = (U/mL)×1/C
Vt
: Total volume (3.05 mL)
Vs
: Sample volume (0.05 mL)
6.22
: Millimolar extinction coefficient of NADH under the assay conditions (cm2/micromole)
1.0
: Light path length (cm)
df
: Dilution factor
C
: Enzyme concentration in dissolution (c mg/mL)
