Enzymatic method for determination of branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase activity.
A spectrophotometric assay for the determination of branched-chain L-amino acid aminotransferase activity is described. It is based on the transamination of L-leucine in the presence of 2-oxoglutarate yielding 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate. The rate of formation of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid is specifically monitored in a coupled enzymatic reaction using NAD(+)-dependent D-2-hydroxyisocaproate de...
متن کاملBranched Chain Amino Acid Aminotransferase
The kinetics of transamination reactions catalyzed by pig heart “branched chain amino acid” aminotransferase was investigated. The activation of aged preparations by 2mercaptoethanol, previously noted, was associated with increases in both the maximum velocity and enzyme-substrate affinities. This implies a protein conformational change. The sharp pH optimum observed with standard assay conditi...
متن کاملBranched-chain amino acid aminotransferase activity decreases during development in skeletal muscles of sheep.
The catabolism of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) differs between sheep and monogastric animals. The transamination of BCAA seems to be affected by development of the sheep. We studied the developmental changes in the activity and expression of the BCAA aminotransferase (BCAT) isoenzymes in skeletal muscle of sheep. Five muscles were taken from fetus, newborn, preruminant and ruminant lambs. B...
متن کاملEnzymatic synthesis of L-tert-leucine with branched chain aminotransferase.
In this study, we demonstrated the asymmetric synthesis of L-tert-leucine from trimethylpyruvate using branchedchain aminotransferase (BCAT) from Escherichia coli in the presence of L-glutamate as an amino donor. Since BCAT was severely inhibited by 2-ketoglutarate, in order to overcome this here, we developed a BCAT/aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) and BCAT/AspAT/pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC)...
متن کاملEnzymic determination of branched-chain amino acids.
Transamination of branched-chain amino acids to (alpha-oxoglutarate, catalyzed by leucine aminotransferase coupled to the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction, is used in an enzymic assay for determination of branched-chain amino acids in serum and tissue homogenates. The coefficients of variation of the method within-day and day-to-day are 2.4 and 6.5%, respectively. Analytical recovery of physiol...
