3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase
3-α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.50, from Microorganism)
Androsterone + NAD+ ⇒ 3-Oxoandrosterone + NADH + H
Catalog number:
HH1601-01 HH1601-02 HH1601-03 HH1601-04
Assay principle
Androsterone + NAD+ ⇒ 3-Oxoandrosterone + NADH + H+
The appearance of NADH is measured at 340nm by spectrophotometry.
Unit definition
One unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme which produces 1 μmol of NADH per min under the conditions described below.
Reagents preparation
Reagent I: 0.1 M sodium pyrophosphate (adjust pH 8.9 by HCl).
Reagent II: Dissolve 319 mg of NAD+ in 25 mL distilled water, adjusting to pH 7.0 – 7.5 by solid NaHCO3 and adding distilled water to 30 mL.
Reagent III: Dissolve 30 mg androsterone in 100mL methanol.
Enzyme diluent: 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 9.0.
Sample: dilute the enzyme to 0.2-0.8 U/ml with enzyme diluent.
Procedure
- Add Reagent I, Reagent II and Reagent III to the 3 mL cuvette (d=1.0 cm) in order.
- Preincubate the reaction mixture at 25 ℃ for 5 min.
Add 0.1 mL of the enzyme solution to the reaction mixture and mix to start the reaction, record the ΔAs at 340 nm in 1 minute in a spectrophotometer thermostated at 25 ℃.
At the same time, measure the blank rate
ΔAb by using the same method as the test except that the enzyme diluent is added instead of the enzyme solution.
∆A = ∆As – ∆Ab
3.00: Total volume (mL)
0.10: Enzyme volume (mL)
1.0: Light path length (cm)
df: dilution factor
C: Enzyme concentration (mg/mL)
6.22: Millimolar extinction coefficient of
NADH under 340 nm (cm2/μmol)
