The appearance of reduced cytochrome C is measured at 550nm by spectrophotometry.
One unit causes half a maximum inhibition of cytochrome C reduction under the conditions described below.
A. K-Phosphate buffer, pH 7.8 | 75mM |
---|---|
B. EDTA solution | 1.5mM Ethylenediaminetetraacetate・Na2 |
C. Xanthine solution | 0.75mM (Dissolved in 0.004N NaOH solution)(Should be prepared fresh) |
D. Xanthine oxidase solution | 0.04U/ml[Dilute xanthine oxidase (ammonium sulfate suspension, ca.4U/ml) to 0.04U/ml with H2O](Should be prepared fresh) |
E. Cytochrome C solution | 0.15mM (from horse heart)(Should be prepared fresh) |
F. Enzyme diluent | 10mM K-Phosphate buffer,pH 7.8 |
1.Prepare the following reaction mixture in a cuvette (d=1.0cm) and equilibrate at 25℃ for about 5 minutes.
2.0 ml | Buffer solution | (A) |
---|---|---|
0.20ml | EDTA solution | (B) |
0.20ml | Xanthine solution | (C) |
0.20ml | Cytochrome C solution | (E) |
0.20ml | Enzyme solution* | (F) |
Concentration in assay mixture | |
---|---|
K-Phosphate buffer | 51 mM |
Xanthine | 50 μM |
Cytochrome C | 10 μM |
EDTA | 0.10 mM |
Xanthine oxidase | 2.6 mU/ml |
2.Add 0.2ml of xanthine oxidase solution (D) and mix by gentle inversion.
3.Record the increase in optical density at 550nm against water for 2 to 3 minutes in a spectrophotometer thermostated at 25℃, and calculate the ΔOD per minute from the initial linear portion of the curve (ΔOD test).
At the same time, measure the blank rate (ΔOD blank) by using the same method as the test except that the enzyme diluent (F) is added instead of the enzyme solution.
*Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold enzyme diluent (F) and dilute to 0.5−2.0U/ml with the same buffer and store on ice.
Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :
Weight activity (U/mg) = (U/ml)×1/C
Vs | : Sample volume (0.2ml) |
df | : Dilution factor |
C | : Enzyme concentration in dissolution (c mg/ml) |

1. 原理
還元型Cytochrome Cの生成量を550nmにおける吸光度の変化で測定する。
2.定義
下記条件下でCytochrome Cの還元を50%阻害する酵素量を1単位(U)とする
3.試薬
酵素溶液:酵素標品を予め氷冷した10mM K-リン酸緩 衝液,pH7.8で溶解し,同緩衝液で0.5~ 2.0U/mlに希釈して氷冷保存する。
4.手順
1.下記反応混液をキュベット(d=1.0cm)に調製し,25℃ で約5分間予備加温する。
2.0ml | K-リン酸緩衝液 | (A) |
0.2ml | EDTA水溶液 | (B) |
0.2ml | Xanthine溶液 | (C) |
0.2ml | Cytochrome C水溶液 | (E) |
0.2ml | 酵素溶液 | (F) |
2.Xanthine oxidase溶液(D)0.20mlを添加し,ゆるやかに混和後,水を対照に25℃に制御された分光光度計で550nmの吸光度変化を2~3分間記録し,その初期直線部分から1分間当りの吸光度変化を求める(Δ ODtest)。
3.盲検は反応混液①に酵素溶液の代わりに酵素希釈液(10mM K-リン酸緩衝液,pH7.8)を加え,上記同様に操作を行って,1分間当りの吸光度変化を求める(Δ ODblank)。
5.計算式
U/mg | = U/ml×1/C |
C | : 溶解時の酵素濃度(c mg/ml) |
