Glucose Dehydrogenase (FADGDH-AA)

CD : 60100

The enzyme is useful for the determination of D-glucose in clinical analysis and self-monitoring blood glucose meters. FADGDH-AA is an FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase with low reactivity toward maltose and xylose. It has high stability and maintains its reactivity even at low temperatures.

ASSAY PROCEDURE

Principle

d-Glucono-1,5-lactone

The disappearance of the blue color of DCIP by the reduction is measured spectrophotometrically at 600 nm.

Definition of unit

One unit (U) causes the reduction of one micromole of DCIP per minute under the conditions described below.

Reagents

  1. D-Glucose solution, 2 M: 72 g of D-glucose/200 ml of distilled water.
  2. Potassium phosphate buffer, 0.1 M; pH 7.0: mix 0.1 M KH2PO4 solution and 0.1 M K2HPO4 solution to make a pH 7.0 solution.
  3. 2,6-Dichloroindophenol (DCIP) solution, 1.8 mM: 58.7 mg of DCIP/100 ml of distilled water.
  4. 5-Methylphenazinium methyl sulfate (PMS) solution, 30 mM: 91.9 mg of PMS/10 ml of distilled water.
  5. Enzyme dilution buffer: 10 mm potassium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA).

Sample: dissolve the lyophilized enzyme to final concentration about 0.4 μg/ml with enzyme dilution buffer (Reagent E) immediately before measurement.

Procedure

  1. Pipette the following reagents into a cuvette (light path: 1 cm).
      600 μL       D-Glucose solution                           (Reagent A)
      2050 μL     Potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.0 (Reagent B)
      150 μL       DCIP solution                                    (Reagent C)
  2. Equilibrate at 37℃ for about 3 min.
  3. Add 0.1 ml of PMS solution (Reagent D) and mix.
  4. Add 0.1 ml of sample and mix.
  5. Record the decrease of absorbance at 600 nm against water for 1 min. (30–90 sec) in a spectrophotometer thermostated at 37℃, and calculate the ΔA per min using the linear portion of the curve (ΔAS). The blank solution is prepared by adding Enzyme dilution buffer (Reagent E) instead of sample (ΔA0).

Calculation

Activity can be calculated by using the following formula:

20.4 : Millimolar extinction coefficient of DCIP under the assay condition (cm2/μmol)
1.0   : Light pass length (cm)
df     : Dilution factor
