Assay Principle
The appearance of yellow dye formed by condensation of urea and p-dimethylaminoben- zaldehyde (PDAB) (Ehrlich reaction) is measured at 435nm by spectrophotometry.
Unit definition
One unit (U) is the amount of enzyme that produces 1 μmol of yellow dye per min under the conditions described below.
Reagents preparation
Reagent I: 0. 1M Creatine solution.
Reagent II: DAB solution: dissolve 2.0 g of PDAB in 100 ml of dimethylsulfoxide and add 15ml HCl solution.
Enzyme diluent: 50 mM NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4 buffer, pH 7.5.
Enzyme solution: dilute the enzyme to 2.0-3.0 U/ml with enzyme diluent.
Procedure
1. Pipette 1.0 ml of reagent I into a test tube and equilibrate at 37℃ for about 5 minutes.
2. Add 0. 1 ml of the enzyme solution and mix.
3. After 10 minutes at 37 ℃, add 2.0 ml of reagent II to stop the reaction.
4. Incuate at 25 ℃ for 20 minutes. Measure the optical density As at 435 nm.
At the same time, prepare the blank by first mixing the substrate solution with 2.0 ml of DAB solution after 0 min-incubation at 37 ℃, followed by the addition of the enzyme solution, and carry out the same procedure as test (procedure 4 and 5) (Ab).
∆A= As - Ab
