Assay

Principle

The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 565 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

	LOX Ⅱ
L–Lactate+O₂	→	Pyruvate+H₂O₂
	POD
2 H₂O₂+4–AA+DMA+H⁺	→	Quinoneimine dye +4 H₂O

DMA : N, N’–Dimethylaniline

Unit definition

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

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

Procedure

Pipette accurately 1.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
After 5 min, add exactly 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.
At 10 min after starting the reaction, add 2.0 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
Measure the absorbance at 565 nm.

Storage

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