| Effect of various chemicals | (Table 1) |
This enzyme is useful for structural investigation of carbohydrates and for enzymatic determination of α-amylase in combination with α-glucosidase (AGH-211) in clinical analysis.
The formation of p-nitrophenol is measured at 400 nm by spectrophotometry.
One unit causes the formation of one micromole of PNP per minute under the conditions detailed below.
| A. Acetate buffer, pH 5.0 (at 25 ℃) | 0.1 M | |
|---|---|---|
| B. PNPG solution | 20 mM (603 mg p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside/100 mL of H2O)(Stable for two weeks if stored at 0−5 ℃) | |
| C. Na2CO3 solution | 0.2 M (21.2 g Na2CO3 /1,000 mL of H2O) | |
| D. Enzyme diluent | 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 containing 0.2 % of BSA. | |
1.Prepare the following reaction mixture in a test tube and equilibrate at 37 ℃ for approximately 5 minutes.
| 1.0 mL | 0.1 M Acetate buffer, pH 5.0 | (A) |
| 0.5 mL | Substrate solution | (B) |
| Concentration in assay mixture | |
|---|---|
| Acetate buffer | 50 mM |
| PNPG | 5.0 mM |
| BSA | 0.05 mg/mL |
2.Add 0.5 mL of the enzyme solution* and mix.
3.After exactly 15 minutes at 37 ℃, add 2.0 mL of Na2CO3 solution (C) to stop the reaction and measure the optical density at 400 nm against water (OD test).
At the same time, prepare the blank by mixing the reaction mixture with 2.0 mL of Na2CO3 solution (C) after incubation for 15 minutes at 37 ℃, followed by addition of the enzyme solution (OD blank).
*Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.8 (approx. 1 mg/mL) and dilute to 0.006−0.022 U/mL with the enzyme diluent (D), immediately before the assay.
Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :
Volume activity (U/mL) =
ΔOD (OD test−OD blank)×Vt×df
18.1×1.0×t×Vs
＝ ΔOD×0.0295×df
Weight activity (U/mg) ＝ (U/mL)×1/C
| Vt | : Total volume (4.0 mL) |
| Vs | : Sample volume (0.5 mL) |
| 18.1 | : Millimolar extinction coefficient of p-nitrophenol under the assay condition (cm2/micromole) |
| 1.0 | : Light path length (cm) |
| t | : Reaction time (15 minutes) |
| df | : Dilution factor |
| C | : Enzyme concentration in dissolution (c mg/mL) |
