Assay

Principle
  1. The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 493 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

CENII
Cholesterol ester+H2OCholesterol+Fatty acid
CO
Cholesterol+O24–Cholesten–3–one+H2O2
POD
2H2O2 +4 –AA +PhenolQuinoneimine dye + 4 H2O
CO: Cholesterol oxidase
Unit definition
  1. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmole of cholesterol per minute at 37°C under the conditions specified in the assay procedure.

Enzyme solution
  1. 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 to within 0.3–0.5 U/ml.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 3.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate it at 37°C.
  2. After 10 min, add 50 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37°C.
    In the case of a test blank, add 50 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
  3. After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minute in absorbance at 493 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
  4. Absorbance sample :As/min
    blank :Ab/min
    △A/min =(As/min−Ab/min)≦ 0.050 Abs/min
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 493 nm(cm2/μmole)
    1/2 :a 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°C in the presence of a desiccant is recommended. Enzyme activity will be retained for at least one year under this condition(Figure 5)
