Biochemical Technology Topic: PPO Activity Determination

First, the principle and method

PPO catalyzes the oxidation of various phenols and O2 to hydrazine. In this experiment, catechol was used as a substrate. In a reaction system of 0.2 M disodium hydrogen phosphate-0.1 M citrate buffer pH 5.8, PPO catalyzed the formation of brown quinone in catechol, in a spectrophotometer 410 nm. The OD value of the reaction system is changed, and the enzyme activity of the PPO is determined by the change in the reading of the OD value.

The method comprises the following steps: adding 0.05 ml of a 0.05 M catechol solution to a 0.2 M sodium hydrogen phosphate-0.1 M citrate buffer tube containing 4 ml of pH 5.8, preheating in a constant temperature water bath at 30 ° C, and adding 0.05 ml of the enzyme solution. The reaction was carried out for 5 minutes, and the absorbance was read at 410 nm of a spectrophotometer. Under the above conditions, an AOD increase of 0.01 OD per minute is defined as an enzyme activity unit (U).

Fourth, experimental results and analysis

1. Relative concentration (OD590) and relative enzyme activity (OD410) of the eluted fraction of Sephadex G-200

Result list

Test tube number protein concentration PPO enzyme live tube number protein concentration PPO enzyme activity

Blank 0 0 3 0.16 0.09

Crude enzyme solution 0.20 0.14 4 0.03 0.03

1 0.00 0.01 5 0.03 0.01

2 0.13 0.09 6 0.02 0.02

Analysis: 2 and 3 tubes contain most of the desired protein and are stored for further purification.

2. Relative concentration (OD590) and relative enzyme activity (OD410) of the eluted fraction of DE-52

Result list

Test tube number protein concentration PPO enzyme live tube number protein concentration PPO enzyme activity

Blank 0 0 3 0.03 0.05

Crude enzyme solution 0.22 0.16 4 0.09 0.05

1 0.00 0.00 5 0.07 0.02

2 0.03 0.02 6 0.03 0.00

Analysis: The activity of the enzyme is not necessarily proportional to the protein content, and the 3 and 4 tubes contain more protein.
