APPLICATIONS

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determation of NAD⁺(NADP⁺) and G-6-P, and activities of phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphoglucomutase and hexokinase. This enzyme is also used for enzymatic determination of glucose when coupled with hexokinase (HXK-311).

ASSAY

Principle:

glucose-6-phophate dehydrogenase(G-6-PDH)

D-Glucose-6-phosphate(G-6-P)+NAD⁺                                                  

D-Glucono-δ-lactone-6-phosphate+NADH+H⁺
The appearance of NADH is measured at 340nm by spectrophotometry.

Unit definition:

One unit causes the formation of one micromole of NADH per minute under the conditions described below.

Method:

Reagents
A. Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.8 55mM (contaning 3.3mM magnesium chloride)
B. NAD⁺ solution 60mM (Should be prepared fresh)
C. G-6-P solution 0.1M glucose-6-phosphate (Should be prepared fresh)
D. Enzyme diluent 5mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.1% of bovine serum albumin.

Procedure

Concentration in assay mixture
Tris-HCl buffer 50 mM
G-6-P 3.3 mM
NAD⁺ 2.0 mM
MgCl₂
3.0 mM
BSA 33µg/ml

1. Prepare the following reaction mixture in a cuvette (d=1.0cm) and equilibrate at 30°C for about 5 minutes.

2.7 ml Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.8 (A)
0.1 ml NAD solution (B)
0.1 ml G・6・P solution (C)


2. Add 0.1ml of the enzyme solution *and mix by gentle inversion.

3. Record the increase in optical density at 340nm against water for 4 to 5 minutes in a spectrophotometer
thermostated at 30°C 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 is added instead of the enzyme solution.

* Dissolve the enzyme preparation in ice-cold enzyme diluent (D) and dilute to 0.05-0.20U/ml with the same buffer, immediately before the assay.

Calculation

Activity can be calculated by using the following formula :

ΔOD/min (ΔOD test−ΔOD blank ) ×Vt × df

Volume activity (U/ml) =                                                               =ΔOD/min×4.82×df

6.22×1.0×Vs


Weight activity (U/mg)=(U/ml)×1/C

Vt
: Total volume (3.0ml)
Vs
: Sample volume (0.1ml)
6.22
: Millimolar extinction coefficient of NADH (㎠/micromole)
1.0
: Light path length (cm)
df
: Dilution factor
C
: Enzyme concentration in dissolution (c mg/ml)
