Enzyme solution
  1. Dilute accurately 0.5 ml of the sample with enzyme dilution buffer to make a 50-fold Solution. Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 0.50 ml of reaction mixture for the first reaction into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
  2. After 5 min, add exactly 50 μl of enzyme sample and mix to start the first reaction at 37℃.
    In the case of a test blank, add 50 μ1 of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution at this point.
  1. After 10 min, add 0.5 ml of 20 mM NEM and add 0.5ml of reaction mixture for the second reaction after 15 seconds later and mix to start the second reaction at 37℃.
  2. At 5 min after starting the reaction, add 1.5 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
  3. Measure the absorbance at 500 nm.
    Absorbance sample : As
    blank : Ab
    △A = (As−Ab) ≦ 0.20 Abs
Calculation
  1. Activity (U/mg) = {(△A/10)/(12.0×1/2)} × 3.05/0.05 × D
