Assay

Principle
  1. The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 500 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

ACOD
Palmitoyl–CoA+O2 2–Hexadecenoyl–CoA+2HO2
 
POD
2H2O2+4–AA+Phenol Quinoneimine dye+4H2O
Unit definition
  1. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which generates 1 μmole of H2O2 per minute at 37℃ under the conditions specified in the assay procedure.

Enzyme solution
  1. Accurately weigh about 20 mg of the sample and add enzyme dilution buffer to make a total of 20ml. Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration to within 0.2–0.5 U/ml.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 1.0 ml of reaction mixture into a reaction cuvette (1 ml volume black cuvette) and preincubate at 37℃.
  2. After 5 min, add 20 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
    In the case of a test blank, add 20 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
  3. After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase in absorbance at 500 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
    Absorbance sample : As/min
    blank : Ab/min
    △A/min = (As/min−Ab/min) ≦ 0.060 Abs/min
Calculation
Activity (U/mg of powder) = {(△ A/min)/(12.0 × 1/2)} × 1.02/0.02 × 1/x
12.0 : millimolar extinction coefficient of quinoneimine dye at 500 nm (cm2 / μmole)
1/2 : a multiplier derived from the fact that 2 mol of H2O2 produce 1 mol of quinoneimine dye
1.02 : final volume (ml)
0.02 : volume of enzyme solution (ml)
X : concentration of the sample in enzyme solution (mg/ml)
Storage

Storage at −20℃ in the presence of a desiccant is recommended. Enzyme activity will be retained for at least one year under this condition (Figure 4) .
