Stable defined substrate for turbidimetric assay of endoxylanases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stable xylan suspension was prepared and characterized. Hydrolysis of the particles converts them into soluble fragments, thereby lowering the turbidity of the suspension. The small volume of the assay mixture, the short incubation time required, and the simplicity of the procedure permit the rapid analysis of many samples. Furthermore, the procedure can be used to assay xylanase activities in the presence of other reducing materials and is also useful for monitoring low-level xylanase activities.

Turbidimetric procedure for determination of lipase activity.
A method is described for turbidimetric assay of Iipase activity. The substrate is a two-phase emulsion composed of a fairly homogenous dispersion of micelles of either triolein or olive oil. The de-emulsification of the substrate after lipase addition is a true measure of the enzymatic activity. Turbidity change is related to amount of the enzyme by use of a commercial standard, purified lipas...
متن کاملCharacterization of Endoxylanase Activity From Thermomonospora Fusca BD25
Thermomonospora fusca BD25 produces relatively high levels of activity of endoxylanases. Only oat spelt xylan, RBB-xylan and birchwood xylan reacted with endoxylanases with the maximum specific activity of 47.65 U mg-1 protein on birchwood xylan. The endoxylanase remained stable up to 70 °C. At 60 °C endoxylanase activity showed stability (92 %) for 16 h, however it showed a half-life of 8 h at...
متن کاملA modified method for chondrosulfatase assay.
In assaying for sulfatases it is possible to use several methods which have been devised for the determination of inorganic sulfate. As a test for chondrosulfatase, the micro benzidine method developed by Dodgson and Spencer (1) is usually employed. This method appears to be the most suitable because of its good sensitivity and absence of substrate interference, but its technique is complicated...
متن کاملFluorometric serum lipase assay: evaluation of monodecanoyl fluorescein as substrate.
The elements of the mechanized fluorometric lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) assay of Fleisher and Schwartz [Clin. Chem. 17, 417 (1971)] were made optimum; a manual adaptation was also developed. Hydrolysis of the monodecanoyl fluorescein substrate by hog pancreatic lipase is a zero-order reaction. The hydrolytic activity of normal human serum, serum from hospitalized patients without pancreatitis, and seru...
متن کاملAnalytical evaluation of a fully automated immunoassay for faecal calprotectin in a paediatric setting
Introduction Faecal calprotectin (FC) is a routinely used marker for identifying and monitoring children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This non-invasive test is useful for screening children with gastrointestinal symptoms to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. In this study, we validated for the first time the performance of a fully automated particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoas...
