Method for accurately, qualitatively and quantitatively determining activity of glucose dehydrogenase
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of enzyme activity detection, in particular to a method for accurately, qualitatively and quantitatively detecting the activity of glucose dehydrogenase.
Background
Glucose Dehydrogenase (GDH) is mainly present in animal liver and weak acetobacter oxydans, and can catalyze beta-D-Glucose to generate gluconic acid (D-gluconic acid-delta-lactone) accompanied by the generation of NADPH (reduced coenzyme). As early as 1975, Banauch et al used glucose dehydrogenase as a diagnostic enzyme for clinical blood glucose determination to determine the concentration of glucose in human body fluids. Currently, glucose dehydrogenase is mainly used in clinical blood glucose monitoring sensors and NADPH regeneration mediated by NADP-dependent glucose dehydrogenase.
At present, the main detection methods of the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase include a spectrophotometry method, an ion chromatography method, a continuous monitoring method and the like. The principle of the spectrophotometry is that when NADP + is a hydrogen acceptor, glucose dehydrogenase can catalyze beta-D-glucose to generate gluconic acid (D-gluconic acid-delta-lactone), and simultaneously along with the generation of reductive coenzyme NADPH, the generated NADPH can be quantified by a spectrophotometer, so that the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase can be calculated. Although the method is simple and easy to implement and low in cost, the method is easily affected by insoluble particles and related impurities in a sample, so that a result has larger error. The principle of the ion chromatography is that glucose dehydrogenase can catalyze beta-D-glucose to generate gluconic acid, and the enzyme activity of the glucose dehydrogenase can be measured by detecting the amount of potassium gluconate. The method needs ion chromatography, and the instrument is poor in universality and cannot meet the requirement of wide use. The continuous monitoring method mainly adopts an automatic biochemical analyzer to monitor the change process of the reaction product NADPH along with time, thereby measuring the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase. The method needs to use an automatic biochemical analyzer, has poor popularity, needs to investigate various parameters, reaction conditions and the like of the analyzer, and cannot meet the requirements of conventional detection.
The method for measuring the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase enzyme, which is mentioned in the Chinese patent CN 104388373A, adopts a spectrophotometry to detect the absorbance value of NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) which is a product of glucose dehydrogenase enzymatic reaction in a sample to measure the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase, and the method is easily influenced by insoluble particles and related impurities in the sample, so that the result error is large. The HPLC detection method of NADPH mentioned in Chinese patent CN108132318A adopts C18 column and gradient elution mode, which has long time and complex procedure. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid, simple, intuitive and accurate GDH enzyme activity detection method is a fundamental problem to be solved urgently. The invention is based on the purpose of researching and providing a method for quickly and accurately measuring the activity of the glucose dehydrogenase.

In the following comparative experiments, the inventors briefly described part of comparative experimental data during the development of a method for determining the activity of glucose dehydrogenase.
Comparative example 1 detection of NADPH by UV method
The inventors used the same sample pretreatment and glucose dehydrogenase enzymatic reaction procedure as in example 1, except that the content of NADPH in the sample after the enzymatic reaction was measured by the UV method:
and (3) taking a 1cm cuvette at the wavelength of 340nm, taking a reaction solution without enzyme solution as a reference, after blank zero adjustment, adding 0.05mL of sample solution to be detected, rapidly timing, reacting for 4min, and recording the final absorbance value A.
