Assay
Principle
The assay is based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of p -hydroxybenzoylglycine to produce p -hydroxybenzoic acid, followed by oxidative coupling to form a quinoneimine dye. The produced quinoneimine dye is measured spectrophotometrically at 505 nm

Unit definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that produces 1 μ mol of p -hydroxybenzoic acid per minute at 37°C under the conditions specified in the assay procedure.
Reagents
- Reaction mixture
Dissolve 742 mg of boric acid and 4.09 g of NaCl in 80 mL of purified water. Adjust the pH to 8.3 (25°C) with 4N NaOH, then make up the volume to 100 mL with purified water (borate buffer). Dissolve 195 mg of p -hydroxybenzoyl glycine in the borate buffer, then adjust the pH to 8.3 (25°C) with 4 N NaOH. Add 25 mg of 4-Aminoantipyrine (4-AA) to this solution and dissolve, then make up the volume to 50 mL with the borate buffer. - Stopping & coloring agent
Dissolve 112 mg of EDTA and 0.2 g of Triton X-100 in purified water and make up the total volume to 100 mL.
Immediately before use, add 139 mg of NaIO₄ to 100 mL of this solution and dissolve. - Enzyme dilution buffer

Enzyme solution
Accurately weigh about 10 mg of the sample and add enzyme dilution buffer to make a total of 10 ml. Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.
Procedure
- Pipette 0.50 mL of reaction mixture into a test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
- After 5 min, add 50 μ L of enzyme solution to start the reaction at 37℃.
※ In the case of a test blank, add 0.50 μ L of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution. - Incubate at 37oC for 10 minutes. Add 1.50 mL stop/color reagent and mix at 37℃.
- Measure absorbance at 505 nm.
