Description

Protein determination analysis method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of protein analytical chemistry, and particularly relates to a protein determination analysis method.
Background
Protein assays are common analytical means for biochemistry and molecular biology. Because of its importance, there are a number of established detection methods, several of which are also widely used.
Protein assays generally fall into two categories: ultraviolet absorption or fluorescence. Ultraviolet absorbance methods can directly measure total protein in body fluids or protein solutions, but whole cell lysates of tissues cannot be measured in this way, and the presence of nucleic acids absorbs light in the same spectral range as proteins, thereby interfering with the detection of proteins. In contrast, the fluorescence method can measure fluorescence in the visible light region by measuring the fluorescence by combining a fluorescent dye, and can avoid such interference of nucleic acids. However, even though fluorescence has the advantage of avoiding interference over ultraviolet absorption, it is also clear that it requires measurement by binding to fluorescent dye, and that the protein cannot be recovered, which limits the application in the case of trace protein measurement.
BCA method is a relatively general method for measuring protein concentration at present, and Cu is added by protein 2+ Reduction to Cu + ,Cu + And forming a purple complex with the BCA reagent, and comparing the absorption value of the water-soluble complex at 562nm with a standard curve to calculate the concentration of the protein to be detected. Although this method is widely used, its indirect measurement method, the protein cannot be recovered, and its long reaction time brings great inconvenience.
The protein contains three different aromatic amino acids with benzene ring, phenol ring and indole ring. Each of these groups may be excited by ultraviolet light to fluoresce. In biochemistry, the structure and function of proteins are mainly analyzed by tryptophan fluorescence. Tryptophan fluorescence (WF) assay is a simple, sensitive and direct method, which has the advantages of high detection speed, recoverable protein and high sensitivity, and is an effective method for replacing BCA detection.
In the past, most of the devices used for measurement by tryptophan fluorescence method employ a fluorescence spectrometer. The fluorescence spectrometer is large in size, expensive in equipment and unfavorable for application. In addition, the ultraviolet spectrophotometry or the fluorescence spectrometer is used for measuring, the required sample size is large, and is mostly in the milliliter magnitude, so that the development of a miniaturized detection device based on tryptophan fluorescence (WF) is necessary, the consumable is simple and fast, the sample loading amount is small, and the problems in the prior art are at least partially solved.

Detailed Description
Other advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following disclosure, which describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to specific examples. The invention may be practiced or carried out in other embodiments that depart from the specific details, and the details of the present description may be modified or varied from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Example 1
The protein assay method of the present invention comprises a step of exciting tryptophan for a protein in a sample which does not require pretreatment of the protein to chemically react to produce a colored substance or to add a label, and a step of fluorescence detection of tryptophan for the excited protein. The step of exciting tryptophan of the protein in the sample is performed through a fluorescence excitation light path, and the step of fluorescence detection of tryptophan of the excited protein is performed through a fluorescence detection light path.
As shown in FIG. 4, a fluorescence analyzer for realizing the protein measurement and analysis method comprises a detection tube 10, a detection tube supporting mechanism, an optical detection mechanism and a light-sealing mechanism 30.
The detection tube 10 comprises a detection tube bracket 11 and a quartz tube 1, as shown in fig. 5. The quartz tube 1 can be fixed with the detection tube bracket through plugging, bonding, clamping and the like. The quartz tube 1 can bear a sample to be detected, and the detection tube bracket 11 and the detection tube supporting mechanism keep relatively fixed positions.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the optical detection mechanism includes a fluorescence detection light path for detecting tryptophan content, including a fluorescence excitation light path 21 and a fluorescence detection light path 22.
The optical detection mechanism is arranged normal to the quartz tube 1 and is used for exciting and detecting a sample to be detected in the quartz tube 1. In this embodiment, the fluorescence excitation light path 21 and the fluorescence detection light path 22 are disposed in a normal direction. Where 211 is the excitation light source (LED in the example), 212 is the excitation end filter (spectrum 280/20 in the example, i.e. from 270 to 290 nm), and 213 is the excitation end lens. The excitation light emitted by 211 passes through the excitation end filter 212, and light (270-290 nm) with specific wavelength is converged into the quartz tube 1 through the excitation end lens 213, so that tryptophan in the protein to be detected in the quartz tube 1 is excited to emit fluorescence. The fluorescence emission light path 22 is in the same plane with the fluorescence excitation light path 21 and the quartz tube 1, so that the fluorescence stimulated and emitted by the quartz tube 1 can be collected. Specifically, the fluorescence excited by the quartz tube 1 enters the emission end filter 223 (the spectrum is 330/20 in the embodiment, namely, from 320 to 340 nm) after passing through the emission end lens 1 224, the fluorescence with a specific wavelength (320 to 340 nm) is converged on the fluorescence receiving device 221 (the photomultiplier in the embodiment) through the emission end lens 2 222, the detected electric signal is subjected to analog-digital conversion, and enters a channel to be received by a computer end for subsequent data processing and analysis. The detection light path and the excitation light path may be at a plurality of angles, in an embodiment 90 degrees.
This example was performed by detecting the direct fluorescence of the stimulated emission of tryptophan by the protein injected into the test tube.
The shape of the quartz tube is not limited, the protein to be detected can be filled into the quartz tube for direct detection, other markers are not needed to be added, and the detected protein can be recovered selectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the optical detection mechanism may further include a UV measurement light path 23 for measuring protein content. The UV measuring light path 23 can measure ultraviolet absorption, is arranged in a straight line with the fluorescence excitation light path 21, the quartz tube 1 is positioned between the fluorescence excitation light path 21 and the UV measuring light path 23, and the UV measuring light path 23 further comprises a detection device and a filter with corresponding wavelength. For high concentration samples, the UV measuring light path can be used for measuring total protein by measuring the absorption peak of the sample to be measured at 280nm and using an ultraviolet method. A UV measurement light path may be provided around the detection tube. The UV measuring light path can measure ultraviolet absorption, is arranged in a straight line with the excitation light path, the detection tube is positioned between the excitation light path and the UV measuring light path, and the UV measuring light path at least comprises a detection device. In practice the excitation light path and the UV measurement light path may also comprise filters of corresponding wavelengths. The UV measurement light path can extend the analysis range of the analyzer. The traditional UV measuring light path has low sensitivity, cannot accurately measure low-concentration samples and is easily interfered by other substances, but the UV light path has a high measuring range, and can be matched with the UV light path for measuring high-concentration samples under the condition that the fluorescent light path is saturated.
The light-sealing mechanism 30 can seal light to the whole mechanism after the quartz tube 1 is inserted into the detection tube supporting mechanism.
The working flow of the fluorescence analyzer is as follows:
a sample to be tested is added into the detection tube 10;
turning on a light sealing mechanism 30 of the fluorometric analyzer;
placing the detection tube 10 into the detection tube bearing mechanism;
closing the light sealing mechanism 30 of the fluorometric analyzer;

the fluorescence detection light path receives fluorescence stimulated by tryptophan and emits, and the content of the protein of the sample to be detected is calculated through a standard curve;
the UV measuring light path 23 receives the absorption light after passing through the quartz tube 1, and the total protein content is calculated by calculating the absorption condition of 280 nm.
In particular the number of the elements,

(2) Using a sample to be tested for on-machine testing;
(3) And (3) carrying out protein concentration quantification by detecting the fluorescence value in the step (2) and matching with a standard curve.
The method for calibrating is as follows:

For high concentration samples, the UV measuring light path 23 can also be used for measuring total protein by measuring the absorption peak of the sample to be measured at 280nm by an ultraviolet method.
