Enzyme solution
  1. 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 0.5 ml of reaction mixture into a
    small test tube, then add 20 μl of enzyme solution into the same test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
    In the case of a test blank, add 20 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
  2. After 5 min, add exactly 25 μl of substrate solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
  3. At 5 min after starting the reaction, add 2.5 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
  4. Measure the absorbance at 550 nm.
    Absorbance sample : As
    blank : Ab
    △A =(As−Ab)≦ 0.20 Abs
Calculation
  1. Activity(U/mg of powder)= {(△A/5)/(16.7)} × 3.045/0.02 × 1/x
  1. 16.7 : millimolar extinction coefficient of NTBH2 at 550 nm(cm2/ μmole)
    5 : reaction time(min)
    3.045 : final volume(ml)
    0.02 : volume of enzyme solution(ml)
    X : concentration of the sample in enzyme solution
    ( mg/ml)
Storage
  1. Storage at −20℃ in the presence of a desiccant is recommended.
