ASSAY<br />

Principle:<br />

-KetoglutarateNH 3 <strong>NAD</strong>HH glutamate dehydrogenase<br />

L-Glutamate<strong>NAD</strong> H 2 O<br />

The disappearance of <strong>NAD</strong>H is measured at 340nm by spectrophotometry.<br />

Unit definition:<br />

One unit causes the oxidation of one micromole of <strong>NAD</strong>H per minute under the conditions described below.<br />

Method:<br />

Reagents<br />

A. Buffer solution 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.3<br />

B. NH 4 Cl solution 3.3M<br />

C. -Ketoglutarate solution 0.225M (adjust the pH to 7.09.0 with NaOH)(Should be phepared fresh)<br />

D. <strong>NAD</strong>H solution 7.5mM (Should be prepared fresh)<br />

E. Enzyme diluent 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.3<br />

Procedure<br />

1. Prepare the following reaction mixture in a cuvette (d1.0cm)<br />

Concentration in assay mixture<br />

and equilibrate at 30 for about 5 minutes.<br />

Tris-HCl buffer<br />

<strong>NAD</strong>H<br />

0.25mM<br />

0.1ml -Ketoglutarate solution (C)<br />

0.1ml <strong>NAD</strong>H solution (D)<br />

2. Add 0.05ml of the enzyme solution and mix by gentle inversion.<br />

3. Record the decrease in optical density at 340nm against water for 2 to 3 minutes in a spectrophotometer<br />

thermostated at 30, and calculate the OD per minute from the initial linear portion of the curve (OD<br />

test).<br />

At the same time, measure the blank rate (OD blank) by using the same method as the test except that<br />

the enzyme diluent (E) is added instead of the enzyme solution.<br />

<br />

Dissolve the enzyme preparation to 0.10.8U/ml with ice-cold diluent (E), immediately before assay.<br />

Calculation<br />

Activity can be calculated by using the following formula<br />
