Example
[0038] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described by way of examples. It should be noted that the present invention is not particularly limited by the examples.
[0039] <Example 1: Measurement of peroxidase activity> To an aqueous solution containing peroxidase, imidazole was added at a concentration of 1.8 - 22.0 mmol / L. A reagent without added imidazole was also prepared, and the activity of peroxidase was measured.
[0040] (Preparation of reagents) Bicine (pH 9.0) 50.0 mmol / L Peroxidase 8.0 U / mL
[0041] For the measurement, two types of the above reagents were used: one stored at 4°C and the other stored at 35°C for one week.
[0042] (Measurement method) Peroxidase (PEO) (Principle) The generated purpurogallin is extracted with ether and measured by the change in absorbance at 420 nm. (Definition) The amount of enzyme that generates 1.0 mg of purpurogallin in 20 seconds under the following conditions is defined as 1 purpurogallin unit (U).
[0043] (Reagents) (a) 5% (w / v) pyrogallol aqueous solution (prepared as needed) (b) 0.147 mol / L h 2 o 2 aqueous solution (1.67 mL of 30% (w / v) H 2 O 2 solution is diluted with distilled water to 100 mL (c) 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 6.0 (for reaction mixture and enzyme dilution) (d) 2.0 N H 2 SO 4 solution (e) Enzyme solution: Pre-cool the enzyme standard in ice-cold (c), dissolve it in (c), dilute it with (c) to 3.0 - 6.0 purpurogallin U / mL, and store it in ice-cold condition.
[0044] (Procedure) 1. Prepare the following reaction mixture in a test tube and pre-warm it at 20°C for about 5 minutes. 14.0 mL distilled water 2.0 mL pyrogallol aqueous solution (A) 1.0 mL H 2 O 2 aqueous solution (B) 2.0 mL phosphate buffer solution (C) 2. Add 1.0 mL of (e) to start the reaction. 3. After reacting exactly for 20 seconds at 20°C, add 1.0 mL of (d) to stop the reaction. Extract the generated purpurogallin from the mixture after the reaction stop with 15 mL of ether. Repeat this operation 5 times, combine the extracts, and add more ether to make the total volume 100 mL. Measure the absorbance at 420 nm for this solution (OD test ). 4. For the blank test, leave the reaction mixture standing at 20°C for 20 seconds, add 1.0 mL of (d) and mix, then add 1.0 mL of (e) to prepare. Perform ether extraction on this solution in the same manner as above and measure the absorbance (OD blank ).
[0045] The calculation formula for PEO activity is described below. [Number] U / mg = U / mL × 1 / c 0.117: Absorbance at 420 nm of 1 mg% purpurogallin ether solution c: Enzyme concentration at dissolution (c mg / mL) (Note) 1 purpurogallin unit corresponds to 13.5 international units (using o-dianisidine as the substrate, under the reaction conditions of 25°C).
[0046] The calculation formula for PEO residual rate is described below. (Number 2) PEO residual rate (%) = PEO activity value (U / mL) of the reagent stored at 35°C for 1 week / PEO activity value (U / mL) of the reagent stored at 4°C
[0047] Table 1 shows the measurement results of peroxidase activity when imidazole was added at each concentration.
Table 1
[0048] When imidazole was not added, it was confirmed that the residual rate of the enzyme decreased significantly (0.66 U / mL) due to storage at 35°C for 1 week. On the other hand, when imidazole was added, a result of higher PEO residual rate was obtained. From this result, it was confirmed that the addition of imidazole in the solution stabilized the peroxidase activity.
