Matériel non inclus: Pipeting devices and accessories (e.g. multi-channel pipettor). Clear bottom 96-well plates (e.g. Corning Costar) and plate reader.

Information d'application

Indications d'application: Direct Assays: beta-glucosidase activity in biological samples.
Characterization and Quality Control for beta-glucosidase production.
Drug Discovery: high-throughput screen for beta-glucosidase modulators.

Protocole: This assay is based on a kinetic reaction. Use of a multi-channel pipettor is recommended. Addition of Working Reagent to samples should be quick and mixing should be brief but thorough. Assays can be executed at room temperature or 37°C.

Procedure using 96-well plate:
1. Transfer 20 µL distilled water (H2O) to two wells of a clear bottom 96-well plate. Add 200 µL H2O to one of these wells and 200 µL Calibrator to the other well (total volume 220 µL). Transfer 20 µL samples into other wells. Transfer 200 µL Working Reagent to the sample wells only. The final reaction volume in the sample wells is 220 µL. Tap plate briefly to mix.
2. Read OD405nm (t = 0), and again after 20 min (t = 20 min) on a plate reader.

Préparation des réactifs:

Equilibrate reagents to room temperature. The Working Solution is prepared by mixing for each 96-well assay, 200 µL Assay Buffer and 8 µL -NPG substrate (final
1.0 mM). Fresh reconstitution is recommended, although the Working Solution is stable for at least one day at room temperature.

Préparation de l'échantillon:

Enzyme samples can be in 50 mM phosphate (pH
7.0) buffer or in any other suitable enzyme buffer. The following chemicals are known to affect the enzyme activity and should be avoided. SH-containing reagents (e.g. dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, glutathione), Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ , Hg 2+ , Mg 2+ , Ni 2+ , Zn 2+ , SDS, EDTA and Tris.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Sujet: Quantitative determination of beta-glucosidase activity by colorimetric (405nm) method.
Procedure: 20 min.

beta-glucosidase is a glucosidase enzyme which acts upon beta1->4 bonds linking two glucose or glucose-substituted molecules (i.e., the disaccharide cellobiose). beta-glucosidases are required by organisms (some fungi, bacteria, termites) for consumption of cellulose. Lysozyme is also a beta-glucosidase and is present in tears to prevent bacterial infection of the eye. In humans, lower activity of a beta-glucosidase isoform (lysosomal glucocerebrosidase) has been related to Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring beta-glucosidase activity are becoming popular in Research and Drug Discovery. This beta-Glucosidase Assay Kit is designed to measure beta-glucosidase activity directly in biological samples without pretreatment. The improved method utilizes p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside that is hydrolyzed specifically by beta-glucosidase into a yellow colored product (maximal absorbance at 405nm). The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the enzyme activity.
