A simple and accurate spectrophotometric assay for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity.
The rate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity measured through the conventional coupled assay with malate dehydrogenase is underestimated due to the instability of oxaloacetate, which undergoes partial decarboxylation into pyruvate in the presence of metal ions. The addition of lactate dehydrogenase to the conventional assay allows the reduction of pyruvate formed from oxaloacetate to la...
متن کاملInterference by phosphatases in the spectrophotometric assay for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
The aim of this work was to discover the extent of interference by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) phosphatase in spectrophotometric assays of PEP carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) in crude extracts of plant organs. The presence of PEP phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in extracts leads to PEP-dependent NADH oxidation that is independent of PEP carboxylase activity, and hence to overestimat...
متن کاملA simple spectrophotometric assay for arogenate dehydratase.
A simple spectrophotometric assay for arogenate dehydratase, the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of L-phenylalanine from L-arogenate, is presented. The method couples the arogenate dehydratase reaction with that of an aromatic aminotransferase partially purified from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. In the presence of 2-ketoglutarate, phenylpyruvate formation is measured at 320 nm at basic pH. ...
متن کاملDirect Spectrophotometric Assay for Benzaldehyde Lyase Activity
Benzaldehyde lyase from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I. (BAL, EC 4.1.2.38) is a versatile catalyst for the organic synthesis of chiral α-hydroxy ketones. To allow fast assessment of enzyme activity, a direct spectrophotometric assay is desirable. Here, a new robust and easy-to-handle assay based on UV absorption is presented. The assay developed is based on the ligation of the α-hydroxy keton...
