Enzyme solution

Accurately weigh about 20 mg of the sample and add enzyme dilution buffer to make a total of 20 ml. Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 1.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37°C.
  2. After 5 min, add 40 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37°C.
    In the case of a test blank, add 40 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
  3. At 5 min after starting the reaction, add 2.0 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
  4. Measure the absorbance at 546 nm.
    Absorbance sample : As
    blank : Ab
    △ A = (As−Ab) ≦ 0.6 Abs
Calculation
Activity (U/mg of powder) = {(△A/5)/(39.2 × 1/2)} × 3.04/0.04 × 1/x
  1. 39.2 : millimolar extinction coefficient of quinoneimine dye at 546 nm (cm2/μmol)
    1/2 : a multiplier derived from the fact that 2 mole of H2O2 produce 1 mole of quinoneimine dye
    5 : reaction time (min)
    3.04 : final volume (ml)
    0.04 : volume of enzyme solution (ml)
    X : concentration of the sample in enzyme solution (mg/ml)
Storage
  1. Storage at -20°C in the presence of a desiccant is recommended. Enzyme activity will be retained for at least one year under this condition.
