Problems solved by technology

[0004] The p-nitrophenol maltopentoside kit method uses the specific substrate p-nitrophenol maltopentoside of β-amylase as the substrate, and the β-amylase reacts with it to release a molecule of maltose and p-nitrophenol maltotriose To determine the enzyme activity, the specificity is high, and the method is fast, sensitive, and easy to operate, but the enzyme activity unit is measured by the amount of p-nitrophenol maltopentoside released per unit time, usually with β-starch The relative enzymatic activity of the enzyme is expressed, which has certain limitations

Embodiment 1

[0024] Example 1: Determination steps of DNS method and p-nitrophenol maltopentoside method

[0025] Enzyme activity is defined as: 1mL enzyme solution hydrolyzes 1% (w / v) soluble starch solution at 55°C and pH6.0 for 10 minutes to generate 1mg maltose, which is 1 enzyme activity unit, expressed in U / mL.

[0026] DNS method: drawing of standard curve: take 6 25mL colorimetric tubes with stoppers, add 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0ml maltose standard solution respectively, then add distilled water to each tube to 2mL, then add 3mL DNS Reagent, heated in boiling water bath for 10min, took out and cooled to room temperature, and diluted to 25mL with distilled water. After mixing, take the colorimetric tube without maltose standard solution as a contrast and measure the absorbance at 540nm, take the absorbance as the ordinate, and the maltose content as the abscissa, draw a standard curve, and draw its linear regression equation as y=2979+0.0226( R2 = 0.9935).

Embodiment 2

[0029] Example 2: Purification of β-amylase

[0030] A recombinant Escherichia coli strain capable of expressing the barley β-amylase gene was induced to express and the bacteria were collected, and the β-amylase was extracted by ultrasonic crushing method, centrifuged and concentrated, and then passed through a Ni-NTA affinity chromatography column. Proteins are purified. Purification result as figure 1 As shown, the purified β-amylase is a single band in the SDS-PAGE pattern, indicating that the β-amylase has reached electrophoretic purity and can be used for further analysis.

[0031] Embodiment 2: Determination of linear concentration range

[0032] For the same concentration of β-amylase, the absorbance value measured by the DNS method is generally high, while the absorbance value measured by the p-nitrophenol maltopentoside kit method is low, as shown in Table 1. When the enzyme When the liquid concentration gradient is high, the absorbance value measured by the DNS m...

Embodiment 3

[0036] Embodiment 3: repeatability experiment

[0037] Five copies of β-amylase solutions with different concentrations were precisely prepared, and the corresponding absorbance values ​​were obtained by DNS method and p-nitrophenol maltopentoside method respectively. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0038] Table 2 Precision experiment (n=5)

[0039]

[0040]As can be seen from Table 2, the standard deviations (RSD) of the two methods are respectively 1.6-8.8% and 3.3-7.3%. The absorbance value measured by the phenol maltopentoside method was linearly fitted, and the results showed that the correlation between the two was good, and the R 2 The value is 0.9886, and the regression equation is y=0.0079x+0.0089. A linear fitting curve such as Figure 4 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for simply and efficiently measuring beta-amylase activity, and belongs to field of the amylase. The method for detecting the beta-amylase activity comprises a DNS reagent color-developing method and a p-nitrophenol malt pentoside method. The DNS method is long in elapsed time, and low in sensitivity, and a beta-amylase activity value measured by the DNS method isaffected by the beta-amylase. The p-nitrophenol malt pentoside method is simple and convenient, and high in sensitivity, but only the relative enzyme activity of the beta-amylase can be expressed. So,through performing linear fitting on the DNS reagent color-developing method and the p-nitrophenol malt pentoside method, the advantages of the two methods are combined, a beta-amylase activity measuring method capable of measuring an absolute enzyme activity value of the beta-amylase is established, the method is simple in operation and high in sensitivity. The absolute enzyme activity value ofthe beta-amylase in a purified beta-amylase or an enzymic preparation mixture of the beta-amylase can be simply and rapidly measured by using the method. A result of the primary application shows thata result of the optimization method is relatively accurate, and the method can be further popularized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simple and efficient method for measuring the activity of beta-amylase, which belongs to the field of amylase. Background technique [0002] β-amylase, also known as maltosidase, is an exo-glucoamylase. It can sequentially cut the interval α-1,4 glycosidic bonds starting from the non-reducing end of starch, and the hydrolyzed products are mainly maltose and β-limit dextrin. β-amylase is widely used in beer brewing, food processing and other industries, and is an important industrial enzyme. At present, the methods for measuring the enzymatic activity of β-amylase include DNS reagent chromogenic method and p-nitrophenol maltopentoside kit method. [0003] The DNS method mainly determines the activity of β-amylase by measuring the reducing sugar content in the enzymatic hydrolysis product, and is the most widely used method for determining the activity of β-amylase. However, since the crude enzyme solution extracted from pla...
