Assay
Principle
This assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 340 nm as the formation of NADH proceeds in the following reactions:
G3PDH Ⅱ | ||
sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + NAD+ | → | glycerone phosphate + NADH |
NAD: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Unit definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which generates 1 μmole of NADH per minute at 37 ℃ under the conditions specified in the assay procedure.
Reagents
- Reaction mixture
Combine 1.632 g of Bicine with about 70 ml of distilled water, and adjust pH to about 8.5 at about 25 ℃ with 1N NaOH (Bicine will dissolve after adjusting pH). Add 4.727 g of Disodium Glycerophosphate 5.5-hydrate and 0.564 g (based on pure product) of NAD, dissolve them, add distilled water to make up to about 90 ml, and adjust pH to 8.7 at
25 ℃ with 1N NaOH. Finally add distilled water to make up to 100 ml. - Enzyme dilution buffer
Dissolve 1.211 g of tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane with 800 ml of distilled water, and adjust pH to 7.5 at 25 ℃ with 1N HCl. Add 1 g of BSA, dissolve it, check the pH of the solution again, and add distilled water to make 1 L solution. - Reagent

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 2.00 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37 ℃.
- After 5 min. add accurately 20 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37 ℃.
※ In the case of a test blank, add 20 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution. - After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minutes in absorbance at 340 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
ΔA/min =( As/min - Ab/min) ≦ 0.15Abs/minAbsorbance sample : As/min blank : Ab/min
Calculation
- Activity (U/mg of powder) = (ΔA/min)/6.22 × 2.02/0.02 × 1/x × D

酵素試料液
- 検品約20 mg を精密に量り、酵素溶解希釈用液で溶解して全容20 ml 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 2.00ml を正確に分注し、37°Cで予備加温する。
- 5分経過後、酵素試料液 20 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 20μl を加える。 - 反応開始後、340 nm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を試料液についてはAs/min、盲検液についてはAb/min とする。
ΔA/min = (As/min-Ab/min) ≦ 0.15 Abs/min
