APPLICATIONS

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of triglyceride in serum in combination with L-αglycerophosphate oxidase (G3O-321) and glycerol kinase (GYK-301, GYK-311). Usually, the reaction can be completed in 5 minutes at 37 ℃ by using 2.5〜3.0 units of the enzyme per test (3.0 mL) at a pH of around 7.0.

Principle

Principle

The formation of quinoneimine dye is measured at 545 nm by spectrophotometry.

Unit definition

One unit causes the formation of one micromole of glycerol (half a micromole of quinoneimine dye) per minute under the conditions detailed below.

Method

Reagents

E. TCA solution 0.2 M (33 g trichloroacetic acid/1,000 mL of H2O)
F. MES-NaOH buffer 50 mM MES buffer, pH 6.5: Dissolve 9.76 g of 2-(N-morpholino)-ethanesulfonic acid (MW ＝ 195.23) in approx. 850 mL of H2O, and, after adjusting the pH to 6.5 with 5.0 N NaOH, make up to 1,000 mL with H2O.
G. Color developing reagent Dissolve the following chemicals and enzymes in 200 mL of 50mM MES buffer (F) in the following order:

(Stable for one week if stored at 4 ℃ in a brownish bottle)
H. Enzyme diluent 20 mM Potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, containing 2.0 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM EDTA-Na3

Procedure

(1st step)

1. Pipette 2.0 mL of olive oil emulsion (A) into a test tube and equilibrate at 37 ℃ for approximately 5 minutes.

2. Add 0.2 mL of the enzyme solution* and mix.

3. After exactly 15 minutes at 37 ℃, add 2.0 mL of TCA solution (E) to stop the reaction and remove the precipitate by filtration with filter paper.

Concentration in assay mixture
Potassium phosphate buffer 29.1 mM
Olive oil 90.9 mg/mL
MgCl2 0.18 mM
Triton X-100 9.1 %
EDTA 45 μM
BSA 1.8 %

(2nd step)

4.Pipette 0.05 mL of the filtrate thus obtained into a test tube.

5.Add 3.0 mL of color developing reagent (G) and incubate at 37 ℃ for further 15 minutes.

6.Measure the optical density at 545 nm against water (OD test).

At the same time, prepare the blank by mixing 2.0 mL of olive oil emulsion (A), after incubation for 10 minutes at 37 ℃, with 2.0 mL of TCA solution, followed by addition of the enzyme solution (1st step). Using the filtrate obtained from the mixture, carry out the 2nd step, using the same procedure as in the test, and measure the optical density at 545 nm (OD blank).

*Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold enzyme diluent (H) and dilute to 0.9−1.6 U/mL with the same buffer, immediately before assay.

Calculation

Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :

  • Volume activity (U/mL) =

  • ΔOD (OD test−OD blank)×Vt-1×Vt-2×df

    28.2×1/2×1.0×t×Vs-1×Vs-2

28.2 : Millimolar extinction coefficient of quinoneimine dye under the assay condition (cm2/micromole)
1/2 : Factor based on the fact that one mole of H2O2 produces half a mole of quinoneimine dye
1.0 : Light path length (cm)
