Definitions

• This invention relates to a method and agent for use in the enzymatic determination of glucose.
• Analytical methods involving enzymes are, in general, characterized by their high substrate specificity and allow for the exact determination of the substrate in the presence of most accompanying materials which are characterized by similar constitution and which represent disturbing fac tors in the same determination using non-enzymatic analytical methods.
• Enzymatic methods for the determination of glucose have also already been proposed and introduced into practice and include, for example, the reaction of glucose with glucose oxidase yielding D-gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the reaction with hexokinase and adenosine triphosphate producing glucose-6-phosphate.
• the reaction products produced, i.e., hydrogen peroxide and glucose-6- phosphate, thereupon are converted in a further reaction into products which can be measured colorimetrically or photometrically (of M. W. Slein in H. U. Bergmeyers Methoden der enzymatischen Analyse, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1962, page 117; and H. U. Bergmeyer and E. Bernt, loc. cit., page 123).
• phosphate donor for the new enzyme there can, according to the invention, be used not only the acetyl phosphate mentioned by Kamel et al. (supra) but also all phosphates having the following formula:
• R is an organic radical, which does not possess a negative charge in the immediate vicinity of the phosphate group.
• the new enzyme is, therefore, best designated acyl phosphate :glucose-6-phosphotransferase.
• the enzyme i.e., acyl phosphate:glucose transferase preferentially reacts with those phosphate donors in which the eifect of a negative charge which may be present on the bond phosphate donor-enzyme is the smallest; see, for example, glutaroyl phosphate, succinyl phosphate and 3 phosphoglyceric acid-l-phosphate in comparison with benzoyl phosphate.
• benzoyl phosphate is employed as phosphate donor, the enzyme reacts more rapidly than it does with acetyl phosphate.
• R is an organic radical, which radical does not possess a negative charge in the immediate vicinity of the phosphate group, and, as transferase, there is used acyl phosphate glucose-6-phosphotransferase.
• the course of the reaction in the process according acyl phosphate glucoseG-phosphotransferese (triphnsphopyridinenucleotide) (fi-phosphogluconic acid) 6PG TPNH H+
• the new agents according to the present invention for use in the determination of glucose comprise a phosphate donor, a transferase, glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and triphosphopyridine-nucleotide and, advantageously, a buffer.
• the phosphate donor forming a component of the new agent is a phosphate having the Formula I and the transferase is acyl phosphate:glucose-6-phosphotransferase.
• the sample to be investigated is mixed with an acyl phosphate having the Formula I, triphosphopyridinenucleotide (TPN), a buffer (as for example, glycocoll buffer, triethanolamin buffer and tris-buffer) and glucose- 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase.
• TPN triphosphopyridinenucleotide
• a buffer as for example, glycocoll buffer, triethanolamin buffer and tris-buffer
• glucose- 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase glucose- 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase.
• Any glucose 6 phosphate which may be present will now react and can be determined beforehand.
• the acyl phosphate:glucose-6-phosphotransferase is then added and, after some minutes, the glucose is determined photometrically on the basis of the reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) formed in the ensuing reaction.
• TPNH triphosphopyridine nucleotide
• the preferred range of pH is between 8 and 9.5 and
• acyl phosphates of Formula I which are, after all, mixed acid anhydrides, can only be stored for a limited period of time
• the acyl phosphate required for use in a routine procedure can advantageously be synthesized immediately before theglucose determination in a preceding enzymatic reaction, preferably in the cuvette being used for the photometric determination.
• acetyl phosphate can be prepared from a stable acetate and ATP utilizing acetate-kinase and carbamyl phosphate can be prepared from carbamic acid and ATP using therefor carbamate-phosphokinase.
• An especial advantage of the process according to the present invention in the enzymatic determination of glucose, in comparison with the previously known processes, is the high substrate specificity of the combination of acyl phosphate: glucose 6 phosphotransferase with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase.

• EXAMPLE 3 Glucose determination with nicotoyl phosphate The measurement procedure was carried out as in Example 1 but using nicotoyl phosphate (end molarity 3.3 mM.) in place of the carbamyl phosphate. In this case, a 0.01 M a-D-glucose solution was prepared and analyzed. In the glucose determination, there were used 0.02

• R is an organic radical which does not possess a negative charge in the vicinity of the phosphate group and acyl phosphate:glucose-6-phosphotransferase, thereafter reacting the glucose-6-phosphate formed with triphosphopyridinenucleotide (TPN) and glucoSe-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase to form reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide and spectrophotometrically determining the glucose present on the basis of the reduced triphosphopyridine-nucleotide.
