Purple Formazan

Abstract A convenient electrophoretic procedure for the separation and quantitation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes is described. The system uses polyacetate Sepraphore III strips.* The areas of activity are shown by incubation with an LDH substrate combined with tetra-nitro-blue-tetrazolium. The reduction of the latter to the purple formazan is quantitatively related to the enzyme activity. Quantitative determination of the individual colored areas is performed by densitometry.

Abstract Study of the colorimetric transaminase method of Reitman and Frankel for the determination of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activity revealed the following: (1) although maximum absorption occurs at 444 mµ, absorbance readings at 505 mµ gave satisfactory results; (2) color development is immediate and the color is stable for at least 1 hr.; (3) a pyruvate calibration standard may be used; (4) sample blanks are not usually necessary; (5) a reagent blank should accompany each group of analyses and should be used as a photometric reference; (6) the relationship between dilution and enzyme activity is linear; and (7) although the relationship between incubation time and activity is not exactly linear, a factor has been determined to permit the use of a 12-min. incubation period with samples showing high enzyme activity.

Isolation And Characterization

Abstract The isolation and characterization of a specific chlorogenic acid esterase is described. The enzyme activity is measured by determination of the hydrolysis product caffeic acid. The enzyme had been concentrated by means of ultrafiltration and column-chromatography. The pH- and temperature optimum were 6.5 and 45 °C respectively. Divalent cations were not required for the enzyme activity. As other esterases, this enzyme is inhibited by di-isopropyl-phosphorofluoridate. The Km-value is 0.70 mᴍ chlorogenic acid, the molecular weight 240000. The described enzyme is specific for chlorogenic acid. On the other hand a typical unspecific esterase like the pig liver esterases does not split chloro­genic acid. The isoelectric focusing reveals several isoenzymes of chlorogenase within a pI-range of 4.0-4.5.
