Abstract

An enzymatic assay comprises contacting a solution of an analyte, which may be the eluate from a chromatographic separation column, in a solution of a redox reaction mediator with a bed of immobilised enzyme which includes at least a peroxidase and electrochemically determining the concentration of the analyte by monitoring of the redox reaction. The assay is particularly suitable for the co-determination of choline and acetylcholine using the enzymes choline oxidase and acetylcholine esterase, immobilised on glass beads, and horseradish peroxidase, immobilised on Sepharose (Trade Mark). Glucose may be determined using glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase. The electrochemical monitoring is best carried out using a wall jet electrode.

Description

ENZYMATIC ASSAY
This invention relates to an enzyme catalysed assay, particularly using peroxidases. The assay is particularly suitable for the assay of choline and acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine is converted by the enzyme action of acetylcholinesterase to choline which is further converted under the action of choline oxidase to betaine with formation hydrogen peroxide which may then be determined electrochemically. It is this system which forms the basis of known assays for choline and acetylcholine. The assay described may be be coupled to a separation step using HPLC to separate the choline and acetylcholine so that they may be assayed separately.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved enzymatic assay.
According to the present invention there is provided an enzymatic assay comprising contacting a solution of an analyte in a solution of a redox reaction mediator with a bed of immobilised enzyme which includes at least a peroxidase and electrochemically determining the concentration of the analyte by monitoring of the redox reaction. Preferably the redox reaction mediator is a metal dicyclopentadienyl monocarboxylic acid, most preferably ferrocene monocarboxylic acid.
It is further preferred that the redox reaction is monitored by means of a wall jet electrode.
In a method for the determination of choline, the immobilised enzyme may be choline esterase and the peroxidase may be horseradish peroxidase. For the co-determination of acetylcholine, the enzyme bed may additionally include acetylcholinesterase. For the determination of glucose, the enzyme bed may contain glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the enzymatic assay is utilised as a detector of the eluate from a chromatographic column wherein components amenable to detection by the assay are preseparated.
The present invention, therefore, provides a method for the assaying of choline and acetylcholine, comprising separating the choline and acetylcholine chromatographically using an eluant containing, in solution, a redox mediator, delivering the eluate continuously to a bed of immobilised enzyme containing choline oxidase, acetylcholinesterase and horseradish peroxidase, and delivering the effluent stream from the enzyme bed to a wall jet electrode for electrochemical determination of the components.
The choline oxidase and the acetylcholinesterase may be immobilised on aminopropyl-activated glass beads and the horseradish peroxidase on Sepharose (Trade
Mark) . It is preferred that the immobilised enzymes be in the form of alternating layers of glass and Sepharose in the bed. For the chromatographic separation, a suitable stationary phase is Hypersil 5A (Trade Mark) reverse phase and the mobi le phase may be an aqueous solution of 20mM phosphate buf fer , 5mM tetramethylammonium chloride at pH 7. 5 which also contains , as redox mediator, 2mM of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid, the solution having been filtered through a 0 . 6 micrometer filter .
The choline oxidase and acetylcholinesterase may be co-immobilised on glass beads as follows : lg of aminopropyl-activated glass beads were placed in 10ml of
0 . 1M phosphate at pH4 and exhaustively degassed to remove all air from the pores ; 38mg of f reshly prepared l-cyclohexyl-3- ( 2-morpholinethyl) -carbodiimide metho-p_-toluene sulphonate were added and dissolved; then O . lmg of acetylcholinesterase in 1ml of water was added followed by 90mg of choline oxidase in 5ml of water , the choline oxidase dissolved s lowly to prevent self precipitation; the mixture, then being rotated overnight and washed with one litre of 0 .5M sodium chloride and one litre of water over a sintered glass filter .
The reactions invo lved in the assay of the invention are as follows :
acetylcholinesterase Acetylcholine + H-0 _\~> Choline + Acetate
choline oxidase Choline + 20 ~^~~ Betaine + 2H20
horseradish peroxidase 2H 0 + 4FcC00H ; ^~ 4Fc+C00H + 4H20 The choline reaction actually occurs in two steps:
choline oxidase Choline + Ct ^"-Betaine aldehyde + ILO
choline oxidase Betaine aldehyde + (1 _5»-Betaine + H n
The electrode reaction is:
4Fc+C00H + 4e -^~~ 4FcC00H
[Acetylcholinesterase ex Electrophorous electricus (E.C. 3.1.1.7)
Choline oxidase ex Arthobacter globiformis (E.C. 1.1.3.17) Horseradish peroxidase ex Horseradish (E.C. 1.11.1.7) Fc = ferrocene: Fc = ferricinium]
According to the present invention there is also provided apparatus for conducting an enzymatic assay comprising in serial connection for throughflow of liquid an HPLC column a packed enzyme bed and a wall jet electrode.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings of which:
Fig.l is a schematic flow diagram of appartus of the invention;
Fig.2 is a detail of the packed enzyme bed; Fig.3 is a detail of the wall jet electrode; Fig.4 shows the equations of the reactions involved in the assay; and, Fig. 5 shows a typical result using the assay of this invention on rat brain dialysate. Referring to Fig.l, a reservior 1 for mobile phase, which contains ferrocene monocarboxylic acid as a redox mediator, is connected by tubing to a pump 2 and thence to a HPLC column 3, a sample introduction port 4 being provided between the pump and the column. The column 3 is connected to a packed enzyme bed 5 and thence tσ the inlet of a wall jet electrode 6, the outlet of which runs to drain.
As shown in Fig.2, the enzyme bed 5 consists of a tube 10, having and inlet end fitting 11, provided with a gauze 12 of stainless steel secured between the tube 10 and the end fitting 11, and an outlet end fitting 13 having a stainless. steel gauze 14 and a sintered glass plate 15 secured between the outlet end fitting 12.
The wall jet electrode 6, as shown in Fig.3, has a body 20 and four inwardly directed electrode components, an inlet port 21 for connection to the outlet end fitting of the 13 (Fig.2) of the enzyme bed 5 (Fig.2) and a glassy carbon disc electrode 14 disposed on the opposite side of the body 20 so as to receive a jet of liquid from the inlet port 21. The remaining two components are a platinum tube counter electrode 22 and a silver/silver chloride reference electrode 23. As shown in the enlarged detail in Fig.3, the disc electrode 14 may be of the disc/ring configuration but, for the purpose of this invention, the platinum ring is not used.
In use for the determination of choline/ acetylcholine, the wall jet electrode is maintained at a voltage of -27mV which obviates interference from other neurotransmitters such as catecholamine which may be present in an assay sample derived from neuronal fluid.
SUBSTITUTESHEET The limiting diffusion current of the electrode is given by the equation: id = 1.38nFD2 3u-5/12R3 a-1/2v3/4C in which; ifl = diffusion current; n = number of electrons; F = Faraday constant; u = kinematic viscosity;
D =diffusion coefficient (determined by rotation step to be 7.6 x 10 —6'* a = diameter of jet (0.05cm);
R = diameter of disc (0.16cm);
Vf = flow rate; and,
C = concentration of analyte.
The present invention is applicable to the assaying of biochemicals which when acted upon by a suitably selected enzyme result in the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then oxidises the ferrocene to ferricinium carboxylic acid which reaction may be assayed by the wall jet electrode. The sources of the samples for assay would, typically, be biological fluids which, if circumstances call for it, may be pretreated by, for example, dialysis, filtration, ultrafiltration or like processes, to remove interfering or contaminating materials.
Of particular interest is the assay of neuronal fluid for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and its precursor/metabolite choline. Brain fluid may be predialysed to remove interfering material to provide a sample for assay by the process of the invention. As has been mentioned above, catecholamine which is also present in samples of neuronal fluid, is not detected by the assay of this invention. Fig.5 shows the type of output obtained from the wall jet electrode acting upon the eluate from a chromatographic column, the sample being rat brain dialysate.
