Assay
Principle
-
The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 340 nm as the formation of NADPH proceeds in the following reaction:
| G6PDH Ⅱ | ||
| D–Glucose–6–phosphate+NADP+ | → | D–Glucono–δ–lactone–6–phosphate+ NADPH+ H+ |
NADP: Nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
Unit definition
-
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which oxidizes 1 μmole of D–glucose–6–phosphate to D–glucono–δ–lactone–6–phosphate 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 dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.
Procedure
- Pipette accurately 3.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
- After 5 min, add exactly 50 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
※ In the case of a test blank, add 50 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution. - After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minute in absorbance at 340 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
△A/min = As/min－Ab/minAbsorbance sample : As/min blank : Ab/min
0.030 Abs/min ≦ △A/min ≦ 0.050 Abs/min
Calculation
- Activity (U/mg of powder) = {(△A/min)/6.22} × 3.05/0.05 × 1/x
6.22 : millimolar extinction coefficient of NADPH at 340 nm (cm2/ μmole)
-
3.05 : final volume (ml) 0.05 : 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.

- 小試験管に反応試薬混合液3.0ml を正確に分注し、37℃で予備加温する。
- 5 分経過後、酵素試料液50 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
50 μl を加える。 - 反応開始後、340nm における吸光度を測定して直線的に反応している1 分間当たりの吸光度変化を求める。
求められた吸光度変化の試料液はAs/min、盲検液は
Ab/min とする。
