Assay
Principle
The assay is based on the increase in absorbance at 340nm as the formation of NADH proceeds in the following reactions:

Enzyme solution
Dilute accurately 0.5 ml of the sample with enzyme dilution buffer to make a 50–fold solution. Dilute with enzyme dilution buffer to adjust the concentration as required.
Procedure
- Pipette accurately 3.0 ml of reaction mixture into a small test tube and preincubate at 37℃.
- After 5 min, add 50 μl of enzyme solution and mix to start the reaction at 37℃.
※ In the case of a test blank, add 50 μl of enzyme dilution buffer in place of enzyme solution. - After starting the reaction, measure the rate of increase per minute in absorbance at 340 nm. The rate must be measured within the linear portion of the absorbance curve.
△A/min = (As/min-Ab/min) ≦ 0.045 Abs/minAbsorbance sample : As/min blank : Ab/min
Calculation
Activity (U/ml) = {(△A/min) /(6.22×2)}× 3.05/0.05 × D6.22 : millimolar extinction coefficient of NADH at 340 nm ( cm2 /μmole)2 : a multiplier derived from the fact that 1 mole of inorganic phosphate produces 2 mole of NADH. 3.05 : final volume (ml) 0.05 : volume of enzyme solution (ml) D : times of dilution in enzyme solution
Storage
Storage at -20℃ in the presence of a desiccant is recommended.

酵素試料液
- 検品0.5ml を酵素溶解希釈用液で50 倍に希釈する。
- 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3.0ml を正確に分注して37℃で予備加温する。
- 5 分経過後、酵素試料液50 μl を加えて混和し、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50 μl を加える。 - 反応開始後、340nm 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はAs/min、盲検液はAb/min とする。
ΔA/min = (As/min-Ab/min) ≦ 0.045 Abs/min
