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
- Pipette accurately 1.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37°C.
- 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. - At 5 min after starting the reaction, add 2.0 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
- 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-
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
-
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.

酵素試料液
- 検品約20mg を精密に量り、酵素溶解希釈用液で溶解して全容20ml とする。その液を酵素溶解希釈用液で適宜希釈する。
測定操作法
- 小試験管に反応試薬混合液1.0ml を正確に分注して37℃で予備加温する｡
- 5 分経過後、酵素試料液40 μl を正確に加えて混和し、37℃で反応を開始する｡
※盲検は酵素試料液の代わりに酵素溶解希釈用液40μl を加える｡ - 5 分経過後、反応停止液2.0ml を加えて混和し、反応を停止する。
- 546nm における吸光度を測定する。求められた吸光度を試料液についてはAs、盲検液についてはAb とする。
※吸光度範囲 ΔA = (As － Ab) ≦ 0.6 Abs
