Colorimetry of carbohydrates with m-aminophenol, and its proposed use in measurement of serum amylase activity.
نویسنده
چکیده
In the reaction of m-aminophenol with carbohydrates in a thiourea/acetic acid reagent, addition of borate suppresses chromogen formation for hexoses and pentoses, and enhances it for disaccharides. All reaction products absorb maximally at 520 nm. The relatively greater intensity of the m-aminophenol/maltose reaction product was used in a saccharogenic method for amylase, with low blank readings. This method is compared with two dye/starch procedures.

Production ofHalothermotolerant α-Amylase from aModerately Halophilic Bacterium, NesterenkoniaStrain F.
Production of extracellular amylase was demonstrated under conditions of high salinity in aerobically cultivated culture of a newly isolated moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus, designated strain F in basal medium containing peptone from meat, yeast extract, NaCl (7% w/v) and starch. Biochemical and physiological characterization along with 16S rRNA sequence analysis placed F in the genu...
متن کاملAmylase inhibitory activity of some macrolichens in Mazandaran province, Iran
Introduction: α-amylase is a major form of amylase found in humans and other mammals. It is the special key enzyme involved in carbohydrates breakdown. Inhibition of this enzyme could be used in treatment of diabetes. In this study, the effect of ten Iranian macrolichens on alpha amylase were tested. Methods: Different concentrations of the extracts (25, 50 and 75 mg/ml) were incubated wi...
متن کاملInfluence of Three Morus Species Extracts on ?-Amylase Activity
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases and its type II is the major form of diabetes, accounting for 90% of cases worldwide. The inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes such as ?-amylase can be an important strategy in the control of blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes. In this investigation, three Morus species, M. alba, M. alba var. nigra and ...
