Product Description
Peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7) widely exists in animals, plants, and microorganisms. It can catalyze the oxidation of phenols and amines by hydrogen peroxide, and has the dual effect of eliminating toxicity of hydrogen peroxide, phenols, and amines. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, POD can catalyzes H2O2 oxidize specific substrates to produce one substance which has a absorption at 470 nm.
Reagents and Equipment Required but Not Provided
Spectrophotometer, desk centrifuge, transferpettor, 1 mL glass cuvette, mortar/homogenizer, ice and distilled water.
Procedure
I. Sample preparation:
A. Bacteria or cells
Collecting bacteria or cells into the centrifuge tube, the supernatant is discarded after centrifugation. It is suggested to take about 5 million bacteria/cell and add 1 mL of Extract solution. Bacteria or cell is splitted by ultrasonication (Power: 20% or 200 W, work time 3s, interval 10s, repeat for 30 times). Centrifuge at 8000 rpm and 4℃ for 10 minutes, the supernatant is used for test.
B. Tissue
It is recommended to take about 0.1 g of tissue and add 1 mL of Extract solution, fully grinding on ice.
Centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4℃, the supernatant is used for test.
C. Serum (plasma) sample: Detect sample
II. Determination procedure
- Preheat spectrophotometer for 30 minutes, adjust wavelength to 470 nm, set zero with distilled
- Place Reagent I, Reagent II and Reagent III at 37℃ (mammal) or 25℃(other species) for 10 minutes before
- Add reagents with the following list:
Name of reagent (µL) | Test tube |
Sample | 15 |
Distilled water | 270 |
Reagent I | 520 |
Reagent II | 130 |
Reagent III | 135 |
The above reagents are added into 1 mL glass cuvette in sequence, immediately mixed and timed. The absorbance values A1 for 30 s and A2 for 90s at 470 nm are recorded, ΔA=A2-A1.
III. Calculations
I. Serum (plasma)sample
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every milliliter of serum (plasma).
POD(U/mL)=ΔA×Vrv÷Vsv÷0.01÷T =7133×ΔA
II. Tissue, bacteria or culture cells
A. Protein concentration
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every milligram protein.
POD(U/mg prot)=ΔA×Vrv÷(Vsv×Cpr)÷0.01÷T =7133×ΔA÷Cpr
B. Sample weight
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every gram tissue.
POD(U/g fresh weight)=ΔA×Vrv÷(W× Vsv÷Vs)÷0.01÷T =7133×ΔA÷W
C. Cellamount
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every 10 thousand bacteria or cells.
POD(U/104 cell)=ΔA×Vrv÷(500×Vsv÷Vs)÷0.01÷T =14.27×ΔA
Vrv: Total reaction volume, 1.07 mL; Vsv: Total supernatant volume, 0.015 mL; Vs: Extract solution volume, 1 mL;
T: Reaction time, 1 minute;
Cpr: Sample protein concentration, mg/mL; W: Sample weight, g;
500: Total number of bacteria or cells, 5 million.
Note:
- If there are many samples to be determined at one time, the mixture of Reagent I, II, III and distilled water can be prepared in proportion, and the mixture can be placed at 37℃ (mammalian) or 25℃ (other species) for more than 10 minutes. 15 μL of sample and 1055 μL of mixture can be added for determination.
- If ΔA is less than 0.005, the reaction time can be extended to 5 minutes. If ΔA is greater than 0.5 or there are more bubbles in the reaction solution, the sample can be diluted with the extract and determined, and the calculation formula is multiplied by the corresponding dilution.
