A modified spectrophotometric assay of superoxide dismutase.

چکیده
A simple and rapid method for the assay of superoxide dismutase in biological samples is described. Present method takes advantage of the inhibition of NADH-dependent-nitroblue tetrazolium reduction by the dismutase. Inhibition of the chromogen formation by superoxide dismutase was linear with increase in enzyme concentrations. The chromogen extract in butanol was stable even up to 48 hr. Superoxide dismutase activity, as assayed by the modified method, was in good agreement with that obtained using other methods.

Improvement of a direct spectrophotometric assay for routine determination of superoxide dismutase activity.
The growing interest in measuring superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) in many diseases calls for useful routine assays. For this purpose, the direct spectrophotometric method of Marklund (J Biol Chem 1976;251:7504-7) was improved to offer an alternative to the imprecise, indirect assays currently used. The decay of O2.- (from KO2) at pH 9.5 was monitored as the decrease in delta A (delta A = A25...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric Assay for Superoxide Dismutase Based on the Reduction of Highly Water-soluble Tetrazolium Salts by Xanthine-Xanthine Oxidase.
Two novel highly water-soluble tetrazolium salts, WST-1 (4-[3-(4-iodophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulfonate sodium salt) and WST-8 (4-[3-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulfonate sodium salt) were applied to the assay of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The superoxide anion generated by xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XO) reduced WST-...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric assay for superoxide dismutase activities in crude tissue fractions.
A sensitive and reliable assay method was developed to characterize crude cell homogenates and subcellular fractions with regard to their superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. The determination of SOD activities was based on the well-known spectrophotometric assay introduced by McCord & Fridovich [(1969) J. Biol. Chem. 244, 6049-6055], with partially succinylated (3-carboxypropionylated) rathe...

متن کاملSpectrophotometric assay of superoxide anion formed in Maillard reaction based on highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt.
A novel highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-1 (4-[3-(4-iodophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulfonate sodium salt), can be reduced to water-soluble formazan with a superoxide anion. Here, the WST-1 assay was applied to detect the superoxide anion generated during the Maillard reaction. A sample solution containing carbonyl compounds such as glyceraldehyde and glyc...
