Direct fluorescence-based lipase activity assay.
Lipases and esterases (glycerol ester hydrolases, E.C. 3.1.1.-) are enzymes acting on the carboxyl ester bonds present in acylglycerols. They have been recognized as useful biocatalysts because of their wide-ranging versatility in industrial applications (2,5). However, the physical properties of lipids have caused a great difficulty in studying lipolytic enzymes (4). Traditionally, lipases hav...
متن کاملA Quantitative Fluorescence-Based Lipase Assay
An easy and fast gel diffusion assay for detecting and monitoring lipase activity by quantification of fluorescein is described. By measuring the intensity of fluorescein, it is possible to obtain a calibration curve with a regression coefficient better than by using the radius of fluorescent haloes. Through the quantification of fluorescence intensity of fluorescein released after the hydrolys...
متن کاملFluorescence-quenching-based enzyme-activity assay by using photon upconversion.
Enzyme-activity assays are used, for example, for screening enzyme inhibitors and activators to discover novel drug candidates. A homogeneous assay principle for hydrolyzing enzymes based on a double-labeled fluorogenic substrate is commonly employed and is suitable for high-throughput screening. This separation-free assay concept relies on the strong distance dependency of fluorescence resonan...
متن کاملA natural substrate-based fluorescence assay for inhibitor screening on diacylglycerol lipase α.
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is predominantly biosynthesized by sn-1-diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGL-α) in the CNS. Selective inhibitors of DAGL-α will provide valuable insights in the role of 2-AG in endocannabinoid signaling processes and are potential therapeutics for the treatment of obesity and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we describe the development of a natural su...
متن کاملRapid assay for hormone-sensitive lipase activity of adipose tissue.
A highly specific and rapid assay for hormone-sensitive lipase activity of rat adipose tissue is described. The method employs emulsified 2,3-di-O-oleyl-[9,10-(3)H(2)]oleoyl glycerol as a substrate; it is very sensitive and is suitable for serial sampling.
