Assay

Principle
  1. The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 500 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

 COD
Choline+O2Betaine aldehyde+H2O2
 COD
Betaine aldehyde+O2+H2OBetaine+H2O2
 POD
2 H2O2+4-AA+PhenolQuinoneimine dye+4 H2O
Unit definition
  1. 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.

Reagents
  1. Reaction mixture
    1.211 g of Tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane, 2.1 g of choline chloride and 2 ml of 1 % (W/V) phenol are dissolved with 1 N HCl and adjusted to pH 8.0 (25℃) . Then, 1 ml of 1 % (W/V) 4–AA and 3 ml of 100 PPU/ ml POD are added to make a total of 100 ml.
  2. Enzyme dilution buffer
    10 mM Tris–HCl buffer (pH 8.) containing 2 mM
    EDTA: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
  3. Reagents
    Choline chloride:

    4-AA: NACALAI TESQUE, INC. Special grade #01907–52
    POD: Sigma Chemical Co. Type Ⅱ #P–8250
    EDTA (2 Na・2H2O) : KISHIDA CHEMICAL Co., Ltd.
    #060–29133
Enzyme solution
  1. Accurately weigh about 20 mg of the sample and add enzyme dilution buffer to make a total of 20ml.

    Dilute it with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 1.90 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
  2. After 5 min, add 50 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
  3. After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minute in absorbance at 500 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
Calculation
  1. Activity (U/mg of powder) = {(△ A/min)/(12.0×1/2)} × 3.05/0.05 × 1/x
    12.0 :millimolar extinction coefficient of quinoneimine dye at 500 nm (cm2/μmole)
  1. 1/2 :multiplier derived from the fact that 2 mole of H2O2 produce 1 mole of quinoneimine dye.
    3.05 :final volume (ml)
    0.05 :volume of enzyme solution (ml)
    X :concentration of the sample in enzyme solution
    ( mg/ml)
Storage
  1. Storage at –20℃ in the presence of a desiccant is recommended. Enzyme activity will be retained for at least one year under this condition (Figure 4)
