The canonical process of colorimetric method for determining synthetase activity: accurately take by weighing 189mg pNPP and be dissolved in 50mL in the dewatered normal heptane of 4 molecular sieves, be mixed with the solution of 10mM.Each lipase 2.5-10mg joins in the tool plug plastics tubing of 2mL.Add the above-mentioned pNPP n-heptane solution of 0.5ml, add 30 μ L then through the dewatered dehydrated alcohols of 4 molecular sieves (concentration is about 1M).200rmp, reaction is 5-30 minute under the 30-60 ℃ of condition, gets 50 μ L reaction solutions with 1mL 0.1M NaOH solution extraction, measures absorbancy in 410nm place, and is higher as if light absorption value, measures after then reaction solution being diluted finite concentration.Instrument is You Nike UNICOUV-2102 PC ultraviolet-visible pectrophotometer, 1mL glass or a plastics cuvette.The typical curve that the calculating that enzyme is lived is drawn according to pNP (p-NP) normal concentration solution calculates, and an enzyme is lived unit definition for generating the required enzyme amount of 1 μ mol pNP.
Be growing amount with the lipase synthetase vigour-testing method of present method contrast: get above-mentioned reaction solution 150 μ L with the gas chromatographic detection ethyl palmitate, with 3mL 0.1M NaOH solution extraction, centrifugal behind the mixing, get the interior mark of the 2-hexanol back vapor detection that supernatant liquid adds a certain amount of concentration.Chromatographic condition is 150 ℃ of initial temperatures, and 10 ℃/min rises to 220 ℃, keeps 10min, 250 ℃ of injector temperatures, 250 ℃ of detector temperatures.Gas-chromatography is Agilent 6820, and chromatographic column is AC20 (PEG20000), and detector is FID.
The lipase synthetase vigour-testing method that contrasts with present method is the synthetase activity mensuration of lipase-catalyzed synthetic ethyl octylate: sad and dehydrated alcohol is dissolved in normal heptane respectively, and concentration is respectively 0.6M and 0.72M.Get the 0.5mL reaction substrate respectively in tool plug plastics tubing, add about 20mg lipase, 40 ℃, oscillatory reaction 30min under the 150rmp.Centrifugal, get the 0.4mL supernatant liquor, add mark 2-hexanol in the 0.1mL, mixing, while blank, gas chromatography determination.The gas Chromatographic Determination condition is: 90 ℃ of initial temperatures, keep 1min, and 10 ℃/min is warming up to 200 ℃, keeps 5min, 250 ℃ of detector temperatures, 250 ℃ of sampler temperature.Gas-chromatography is Agilent 6820, and chromatographic column is AC20 (PEG20000), and detector is FID.Under condition determination, the enzyme amount that per minute transforms 1 μ mol ethyl octylate is defined as 1 lipase synthetase unit alive.
The optimum determining scope and the condition determination of measuring method of the present invention
Temperature of reaction: different lipase are different to the stability of temperature, will be much better than the water catalyzed reaction for the temperature stability of nonaqueous phase catalyzed reaction enzyme.This measuring method all is effective for most of lipase between 30 ℃-60 ℃ of temperature.
Rotating speed: because nonaqueous phase catalysis mostly is the solid-liquid two-phase system greatly, and for the solid-liquid biphasic system, the resistance to mass transfer of substrate certainly exists, particularly for immobilized enzyme.The first layer resistance to mass transfer derives from the solvent layer that solid catalyst surface is wrapped up, and also is referred to as the external diffusion resistance.When the speed of response of enzyme during much smaller than the substrate velocity of diffusion, the external diffusion resistance does not become limiting factor, and when the speed of response of enzyme was fast, the external diffusion resistance then was a restrictive factor.With lipase L-PS-C is example, and the speed of L-PS-C catalyzed reaction is very fast, is that the external diffusion resistance is controlled along with the fast reaction speed of rotating speed significantly improves this reaction of explanation, and when rotating speed reaches 200rmp when above, diffusional resistance disappears substantially.Rotating speed for this measuring method 200rmp can meet the demands.
Concentration of substrate: the required concentration of substrate of enzyme activity determination is widely different for different enzymes, be example with lipase L-PS-C and the full cellular fat enzyme of L-Rh respectively, canonical process by above-mentioned colorimetric method for determining synthetase activity is measured the speed of reaction of pNPP concentration in the 2.5-70mM scope, adopts the Lineweaver-Burk method to try to achieve the Km value.Take all factors into consideration for making this method have better generality to most lipase, the p-NP ester concentration that adopts 10mM is as reaction density, and alcohol concn is 1M.
Enzyme concn: enzyme concn also is vital for measuring method, and enzyme concn is crossed and low can be made the enzyme biopsy not detect, and enzyme concn is too high then to cause the institute's enzyme of surveying work inaccurate.Still be example with enzyme high lipase L-PS-C alive and the enzyme relatively low full cellular fat enzyme of L-Rh alive.By the canonical process of above-mentioned colorimetric method for determining synthetase activity, timing sampling is measured the conversion curve under the different enzyme concn conditions, and the enzyme that takes by weighing different mass joins in the reaction system, controls enzyme concn in the reaction system with this.With enzyme concn and speed of reaction curve plotting, investigate the suitableeest scope that adds enzyme concn.The result shows that can measure enzyme more exactly when enzyme concn between 0.01-0.3U lives.1U is the amount that generates the required lipase of 1 μ mol pNP.
In sum, it is as follows to draw the optimum determining condition (being the transesterification condition) of this measuring method: concentration of substrate p-nitrophenyl phenolic ester 10mM, ethanol 1M; 30 ℃-60 ℃ of temperature of reaction; Reaction times 5-30 minute, shaking speed 200rmp; Enzyme concn 0.01-0.3U.
