摘要:
An enzyme which acts on a reducing terminal of a monosaccharide or oligosaccharide without requiring NAD or NADP and which catalyzes the reaction ##STR1## wherein R is a saccharide chain residue or hydrogen, A is a hydrogen acceptor other than NAD or NADP, AH or AHn is a reduced form acceptor and n is 1 or 2. This maltose dehydrogenase is produced by culturing a microorganism belonging to genus Staphylococcus, specifically, sp. B-0875 FERM BP-385, and isolating the thus-produced maltose dehydrogenase from the culture medium. An assay method for the determination of saccharide or the activity of a saccharide liberating enzyme, comprises reacting this enzyme with a substrate in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor, and measuring the amount of a detectable change.
摘要:
Ascorbate oxidase is produced by extraction from plants of the genus Sechium, particularly the species thereof which is Sechium edule Sw. The crushed plant tissues are extracted with an aqueous alkaline solvent, preferably at about pH 11. The extract is then subjected to centrifugation, concentration under vacuum, salting out with ammonium sulfate and solvent fractionation with acetone, to prepare crude ascorbate oxidase, which is then further purified by dialysis, ion exchange chromatography, adsorption chromatography and gel filtration. The ascorbate oxidase thus obtained has an optimum pH of about 7, a km value of 0.3 mM, an isoelectric point of around pH 6.3 and a molecular weight of about 100,000.
摘要:
In a color printing method, a color photosensitive material is exposed in the photographing step to object illuminating light, which is recorded thereon as an optical density by photographic treatments. In the printing step, the optical density is detected to determine blue, green and red exposures, which cause the object illuminating light to be reproduced on a color positive photosensitive material so as to have neutral gray or to be colored to a standard color. An object image on the color photosensitive material is printed on the color positive photosensitive material with the most suitable color reproduction with the same three-color component exposures as those determined in printing the object illuminating light.

摘要:
An assay method for amylase activity in a biological specimen such as serum, saliva or urine. The enzyme amylase in the specimen is used to decompose a substrate which is a glucose polymer having a modified reducing terminal glucose residue or a cyclic glucose polymer. A component of the decomposed substrate is measured as an indication of amylase activity in the specimen. The residue may be amylose, amylopectin, starch, starch hydrolyzate, an etherified reducing terminal, an esterified reducing terminal, gluconolactone or a gluconic acid residue or its derivative. Decomposed substrate assay may be effected by contacting the same with maltose dehydrogenase and NAD or NADP, whereupon the assay is performed by measuring the amount of reduced NAD or reduced NADP, by reacting the same with reduced-form hydrogen transport colorimetric reaction reagent. This reagent may be a tetrazolium salt and diaphorase, or tetrazolium salt and phenazinemethosulfate. To remove pre-existing glucose and maltose present in the specimen, the specimen may be pretreated with alpha-glucosidase or kinase in the presence of Mg.sup.++ and ATP, the kinase being for example hexokinase. The preferred maltose dehydrogenase is produced by culturing Bacillus megaterium B-0779 FERM-P No. 5662.
