Enzymatic Assay of Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2)
1. OBJECTIVE
To standardize a procedure for the enzymatic assay of laccase at Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.
2. SCOPE
The scope of this procedure is all products that have a specification for laccase activity.
3. DEFINITIONS
One unit will produce a DA530nm of 0.001 per minute at pH 6.5 at 30°C in a 3 mL reaction volume using Syringaldazine as substrate.
4. DISCUSSION
Syringaldazine + O2 Laccase > Oxidized Syringaldazine + 2H2O.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of Analytical Services personnel to follow this protocol as written.
6. SAFETY
Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazards and appropriate handling precautions.
7. PROCEDURE
7.1 CONDITIONS:
T = 37°C, pH = 6.5, A530nm, Light path = 1 cm
7.2 METHOD:
Continuous Spectrophotometric Rate Determination
7.3 REAGENTS:
7.3.1 100 mM Potassium Phosphate buffer, pH 6.5 at 37°C (Buffer)
(Prepare 100 mL in deionized water using Potassium Phosphate, Monobasic, Anhydrous, Sigma-Aldrich Product Number P-5379. Adjust to pH 6.5 at 37°C with 1 M KOH.)
7.3.2 0.216 mM Syringaldazine Solution (SYR)
(Prepare 3 mL in absolute methanol using Syringaldazine, Sigma Product Number S7896.)
7.3.3 Laccase Enzyme Solution (Laccase)
(Immediately before use, prepare a solution containing 25-50 units/mL of Laccase in cold deionized water.)
7.4 TEST METHOD
Pipette the following reagents into suitable vials (in milliliters):
Test
Blank
Deionized water (Reagent 7.3.2)
-------
0.50
Buffer (Reagent 7.3.2)
2.20
2.20
Laccase (Reagent 7.3.2)
0.50
-------
Equilibrate to 37°C .Monitor the A530nm until constant using a suitably thermostatted spectrophotometer.Then add:
Test
Blank
SYR
0.30
0.30
Mix by inversion and record the increase in A530nm for approximately 10 minutes. Obtain the DA530nm/min. using the maximum linear rate for both the Test and Blank.
7.5 CALCULATIONS
Units/ml enzyme =
ΔA530nm Sample = A530nm/min Test - A530nm/min Blank) (df)
(0.001)(0.5)
df = dilution factor
0.001 = the change in A530nm/min. per unit of laccase at pH 6.5 at 30oC in a 3 mL reaction mix
0.5 = volume (in milliliters) of enzyme used
7.5.2.4
Units/mg solid =
Units/mL enzyme
mg solid/mL enzyme
7.6 FINAL ASSAY CONCENTRATION:
In a 3.00 mL reaction mix, the final concentrations are 73 mM potassium phosphate, 0.02 mM syringaldazine, 10% methanol, and 12.5 to 25.0 units laccase.

% inhibition = [(normal activity - inhibited activity) / (normal activity)] * 100%
no there is not activity on the moon
No, Ceres does not have volcanic activity.
Very low activity.
Nuclear activity is a character of everything.
Laccase chemical formula: C44H69N11O20 Laccase molecular weight: 1 072,0804
how to calculate activity rate for machining
% inhibition = [(normal activity - inhibited activity) / (normal activity)] * 100%
practical capacity
The Lambert-Beer law is an obligatory condition.
Divide the rate of enzyme activity by the protein concentration.
Enrichment=specific activity of fraction/original specific activity of original sample
The enzymes in plant cells are made from Peroxidase and Laccase. These enzymes are in the cell wall and they are the catalyst to allow a variety of biological processes to take place.
