Assay

Principle

The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 480 nm as the formation of quinoneimine dye proceeds in the following reactions:

 SOXG
Sarcosine+O2+H2O→Glycine+HCHO+H2O2
 POD
2 H2O2+4–AA+Phenol→Quinoneimine dye+4 H2O
Unit definition

  1. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which oxidizes 1 μmole of sarcosine to glycine per minute at 37℃ 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 solution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.

Procedure
  1. Pipette accurately 0.5 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
  2. After 5 min, add exactly 10 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
    ※In the case of a test blank, add 10 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution.
  3. At 5 min after starting the reaction, add 2.50 ml of the reaction stopper to stop the reaction.
  4. Measure the absorbance at 480 nm.
