Principle

Principle

The appearance of p-Nitrophenol is measured at 405nm by spectrophotometry.

Unit definition

One unit causes the formation of one micromole of p-Nitrophenol per minute under the conditions described below.

Method

Reagents

A. Diethanolamine buffer 1M［Dilute 9.66ml of diethanolamine (MW＝105.14) in 60ml of H2O, add 5ml of 0.1M MgCl2 and, after adjusting the pH to 9.8 with 2N HCl, fill up to 100ml with H2O］(Prepare fleshly)
B. pNPP solution 0.674M [2.5g of p-Nitrophenylphosphate disodium salt (MW＝371.16) in 10ml Diethanolamine buffer (A)］(Prepare fleshly)
C. Enzyme diluent 30mM Triethanolamine, 1mM MgCl2, 0.1mM ZnCl2, 0.5% Sodium cholate, pH7.6

Procedure

1.Prepare the following working solution (30.5ml) in a brownish bottle and store on ice (Prepare freshly).

30ml Diethanolamine buffer (A)
0.5ml pNPP solution (B)
Concentration in assay mixture
Diethanolamine buffer 0.97 M
p-Nitrophenylphosphate 11 mM
MgCl2 4.8 mM

2.Pipette 3.0ml of working solution into a cuvette (d=1.0cm) and equilibrate at 37℃ for about 5 minutes.

3.Add 0.1ml of the enzyme solution* and mix by gentle inversion.

4.Record the increase in optical density at 405nm against water for 3 to 5 minutes in a spectrophotometer thermostated at 37℃, and calculate the ∆OD per minute from the initial linear portion of the curve (∆OD test).
At the same time, measure the blank rate (∆OD blank) by using the same method as the test except that the enzyme diluent (C) is added instead of the enzyme solution.

*Dilute the enzyme preparation to 0.1-0.3U/ml with ice-cold enzyme diluent (C), immediately before assay.

Calculation

Activity can be calculated by using the following formula:

  • Volume activity (U/ml) =

  • ∆OD/min(∆OD test－∆OD blank)×Vt×df

    18.5×1.0×Vs

  • = ∆OD/min×1.676×df

  • Weight activity (U/mg) = (U/ml)×1/C

Vt : Total volume (3.1ml)
Vs : Sample volume (0.1ml)
18.5 : Millimolar extinction coefficient of p-Nitrophenol under the assay condition (cm2/micromole)
1.0 : Light path length (cm)
df : Dilution factor

活性測定法（Japanese）

1. 原理

原理

p-Nitrophenolの生成量を405nmにおける吸光度の変化で測定する。

2.定義

下記条件下で1分間に1マイクロモルのp-Nitrophenolを生成する酵素量を1単位(U)とする。

3.試薬

  • 1Mジエタノールアミン緩衝液、pH9.8 [9.66mlのジエタノールアミン (MW=105.14)を蒸留水60mlで希釈後、0.1M MgCl2 5mlを添加する。さらに2.0N HClで37℃におけるpHを9.8に調整し、最終液量を100mlとする] (用時調製)
  • 0.674M pNPP溶液 [2.5gのp-ニトロフェニルリン酸二ナトリウム塩 (MW=371.16)を10mlの緩衝液Aに溶解する] (用時調製)
  • 酵素溶液: 30mM トリエタノールアミン、1mM MgCl2、0.1mM ZnCl2、0.5% Sodium cholate, pH7.6で反応直前に0.1～0.3U/mlに希釈する。

4.手順

1.下記反応混液(30.5ml)を調製する。

30ml ジエタノールアミン緩衝液 (A)
0.5ml pNPP溶液 (B)

2.3.0mlの反応混液をキュベット(d=1.0cm)に移し、37℃で約5分間予備加温する。

3.酵素溶液0.1mlを添加し、ゆるやかに混和する。

4.水を対照に37℃に制御された分光光度計で405nmの吸光度変化を3～5分間記録し、その初期直線部分から1分間当たりの吸光度変化を求める(∆OD test)。盲検は酵素溶液に代えて酵素希釈液を加え、上記同様に操作を行って1分間当たりの吸光度変化を求める(∆OD blank)。

5.計算式

  • U/ml =

  • ΔOD/min (ΔOD test － ΔOD blank) × 3.00(ml) × 希釈倍率

    18.5 × 1.0 × 0.1 (ml)

＝ ∆OD/min × 1.676 × 希釈倍率
Vt : 総液量 (3.1ml)
Vs : 試料総量 (0.1ml)
18.5 : p-Nitrophenolのミリモル分子吸光係数
1.0 : 光路長(cm)
