Enzyme Electrode for Amplification of NAD+/NADH Using Glycerol Dehydrogenase and Diaphorase with Amperometric Detection

Abstract

An enzyme electrode is made from a glassy carbon electrode covered with a gelatin membrane containing entrapped glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and diaphorase, and protected with a dialysis membrane. Based on amplification by the recycling reaction catalyzed by the two-enzyme systems, NAD⁺ and NADH can be determined with 800–1200 times higher sensitivity than for the same electrode in a substrate sensing mode when the flow rate was 0.08 ml/min. The detection limit was about 0.03 μM for NADH. The amplification factors were around 1000 for 0.08 ml/min, with quite large variations between electrodes. They had decreased to about 70% of the original value after 7 days. The biosensor is intended for detection in immunoassays with alkaline phosphatase as a marker.     

生化教材中存在44年的瑕疵——吡啶环上氮原子的化合价

Understanding redox reactions in reaction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP⁺) requires a clear grasp of the textbook content. The reactions in nicotinamide coenzymes with reduced and oxidized forms have been compared in various biochemistry textbooks. Incorrect interpretations usually emphasize the valence changes that at nitrogen in the pyridine ring of a nicotinamide from +5 to +3. Actually, the valence of nitrogen in pyridine ring is -3. We have gathered shreds of evidences and provide here possible suggestions and caution for readers and instructors.     

Colorimetric multiplexed immunoassay using specific aggregation of antigenic peptide-modified luminous nanoparticles

Two amperometric enzyme biosensor systems, based on glycerol dehydrogenase/diaphorase (GDH/DP) and glycerol kinase/glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase/peroxidase (GK/GPOx/HRP), were developed and used for estimation of glycerol content in a complex biological fluids. Enzymes were immobilized on interchangeable membranes by PCS-prepolymer technique. Buffers containing ferricyanide/NAD⁺ or ferrocyanide/ATP were used for measurements with GDH/DP and GK/GPOx/HRP biosensor, respectively. FIA assay of glycerol biosensor was characterized by a linear range of 0.01-1 or 0.01-1.5 mM glycerol, sensitivity of 6.02 or 1.42 mA/M cm² and with signal loss of 40% after 90 h or 30% after 16 h during continuous operation at a sample throughput of 10 injections/h for GDH/DP or GK/GPOx/HRP biosensors, respectively. Both biosensors were successfully used for off-line monitoring of glycerol during microbial transformation of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol using an automatized flow-through system. The results were consistent with those obtained with HPLC. The stability of described biosensor systems was sufficient for monitoring and control of fermentation process within 24 h. The storage stability of enzyme membranes was several months.

通过对苹果酸酶(ME)辅酶结合域L310、Q401、L404饱和位点突变库与辅酶烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD⁺)类似物库的高通量筛选,研究了苹果酸酶结合域位点对NAD⁺及其类似物(B1~B7)催化活性的影响。 结果表明,突变后酶ME-Q401H/L404T对类似物B4的k_cat/K_m是野生型酶的50倍;突变后酶ME-L310M/Q401N对类似物B4的k_cat/K_m是野生型酶的16倍,对类似物B3的k_cat/K_m是野生型酶的5倍,因此通过对结合域定点突变,NAD⁺类似物的催化活性得到提高。     

Immobilization enzyme fluorescence capillary analysis for determination of lactic acid

A new method for the determination of lactic acid based on the immobilization enzyme fluorescence capillary analysis (IE-FCA) was proposed. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) was immobilized on inner surface of a capillary with glutaraldehyde, and an immobilized enzyme lactate capillary bioreactor (IE-LCBR) was formed for the determination of lactic acid. After nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is mixed with lactic acid solution, it was sucked into the IE-LCBR and was detected at λ_ex 353 nm/λ_em 466 nm. Optimized conditions are as follows: the temperature is 38 °C; the reaction time is 15 min; the concentrations of Tris buffer (pH 8.8) and NAD⁺ are 0.1 mol L⁻¹ and 4 mmol L⁻¹, respectively; the concentration of LDH used for immobilization is 15 kU L⁻¹. The concentration of lactic acid is directly proportional to the fluorescence intensity measured from 0.50 to 2.0 mmol L⁻¹; and the analytical recovery of added lactic acid was 99–105%. The minimum detection limit of the method is 0.40 mmol L⁻¹ and sensitivity of the IE-CBR is 4.6 F mmol⁻¹ L⁻¹ lactate. Its relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) is ≤2.0%. This IE-FCA method was employed for determination of lactate in milk drink.     

Novel Stereoselective Carbonyl Reductase from Kluyveromyces marxianus for Chiral Alcohols Synthesis

A novel nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate（NADPH）-dependent carbonyl reductase from Kluyverornyces marxianus（KmCR） was identified, which can convert various prochiral ketone esters and ketone substrates to their corresponding chiral alcohols. KmCR was over-expressed in E. coli BL21（DE3）, purified to homogeneity, and characterized. The purified enzyme exhibits the highest activity at 40℃ and pH=6.0. Based on the gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel eiectrophoresis（SDS-PAGE） analysis, the monomeric protein was determined to have a molecular weight of approximate 39000. Vmax and Km of KmCR are 4.28 μmol.min^-1·mg^-1 and 0.41 mmol/L for ketone ester substrate ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate（OPBE）, 3.09μmol.min^-1·mg^-1 and 1.21 mmol/L for cofactor NADPH, respectively. Cofactor recycle was achieved by co-expression of KmCR and glucose dehydrogenase（GDH） in E. coli. Recombinant E. coli harboring KmCR and GDH showed moderate asymmetric reduction activity towards various α- and β-ketoesters, diaryl ketone substrates. In an aqueous/butyl acetate biphasic system, the whole-cell biocatalyst was used to prepare ethyl （R）-2-hydroxy-4- phenylbutanoate[（R）-HPBE] in an e.e. of 99.5% with a space-time yield of 433.6 g.L-1.d-1 and a yield of 80.3% at 270 g/L OPBE.

Reusable ethanol sensor based on a NAD-dependent dehydrogenase without coenzyme addition

An amperometric sensor for the detection of ethanol has been designed. The sensing layer consists of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), NADH oxidase and NAD⁺-dextran, entrapped together in a matrix of poly(vinyl alcohol) bearing styrylpyridinium groups (PVA-SbQ). Measurements have been carried out at a low oxidizing potential (equivalent to 250 mV vs. SCE) to detect hexacyanoferrate(II), thus avoiding interferences due to presence of oxidizable compounds in real samples. The influence of the amount of polymer, enzymes and coenzyme in the sensing layer on the sensor sensitivity, linear range and operational stability has been studied. The sensitivity was close to 2 mA 1 mol⁻¹, with a linear range 3 × 10⁻⁷ −2 × 10⁻⁴M and a response time <2 min. Good operational stability was observed, allowing more than 40 reproducible assays without NAD⁺ addition. Alcoholic beverages were analysed with the use of sensor and the results showed good correlation with those obtained using a standard spectrophotometric procedure.     

Amperometric glyceride biosensor

Glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and lipase have been used for the amperometric determination of glycerol and triglycerides on modified carbon electrodes. Carbon electrodes were modified with adsorbed Meldola Blue, Nile Blue or Toluidine Blue O. Electrochemical oxidation of NADH was realized at 0V vs saturated Ag/AgCl electrode. NADH was produced by the catalytic oxidation of glycerol in the presence of glycerol dehydrogenase immobilized on the surface of an electrode. GDH was adsorbed on the electrode, entrapped in gelatin, immobilized in polylysine gel, or trapped in two types of organic salts. Sensitivity of the electrodes vary from 2 to 9 nA/mM glycerol with steady state achieved in a time of between 20 s and 8 min, depending on the method of immobilization. Triglycerides were determined after a 5 min pre-incubation period in a mixture of lipases with different specificity.     

Target-triggered inhibiting oxidase-mimicking activity of platinum nanoparticles for ultrasensitive colorimetric detection of silver ion

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a New Cold-active Extradiol Dioxygenase from a Metagenomic Library Derived from Polychlorinated Biphenyl-contaminated Soil

To find new extradiol dioxygenases(EDOs, EC 1.13.11.2), a metagenomics library was constructed from polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil and was screened for some dioxygenase with aromatic ring cleavage activity. A novel EDO, designated as Bph­C_A, was identified and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced amino acid sequence of BphC­_A exhibited a homology of less than 60% with other known EDOs. Phylogenetic analysis of BphC­_A suggests that the protein is a novel member of the EDO family. The enzyme exhibits higher substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency toward 3-methylcatechol than toward 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl or catechol, the preferred substrate of other known EDOs. The optimum activity of purified Bph­C_A occurred at pH=8.5 and 35℃, and Bph­C_A showed more than 40% of its initial activity at 5℃. The activity of purified Bph­C_A was significantly induced by Mn²⁺ and slightly reduced by Al³⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺.     

A glucose dehydrogenase biosensor as an additional signal amplification step in an enzyme-flow immunoassay

Both the antibody affinity and the detectability of the label are essential in deciding the final characteristics of a heterogeneous immunoassay. This paper describes an approach to obtain a supplementary enhancement of the signal generated by using an enzyme label, e.g., by including the product of the enzymatic reaction in an additional amplification cycle during the detection step performed with an amperometric biosensor based on glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). An immunoassay format with a labelled analyte derivative that competes with the analyte present in the sample for a limited amount of antibody binding sites was employed. The beta-galactosidase label hydrolyses the substrate aminophenyl-beta-galactopyranoside, and the generated aminophenol enters then into a bioelectrocatalytic amplification cycle at the GDH biosensor. The principle was applied for determination of 4-nitrophenol, with the best minimal concentration of 1.5 microM and a midpoint of the calibration of 24 microM. The potentials and limitations of such a system are discussed.     

Integrated multienzyme electrochemical biosensors for the determination of glycerol in wines

The construction and performance of integrated amperometric biosensors for the determination of glycerol are reported. Two different biosensor configurations have been evaluated: one based on the glycerol dehydrogenase/diaphorase (GDH/DP) bienzyme system, and another using glycerol kinase/glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase/peroxidase (GK/GPOx/HRP). Both enzyme systems were immobilized together with the mediator tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) on a 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-modified gold electrode by using a dialysis membrane. The electrochemical oxidation of TTF at +150 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the reduction of TTF⁺ at 0 mV were used for the monitoring of the enzyme reactions for the bienzyme and trienzyme configurations, respectively. Experimental variables concerning both the biosensors composition and the working conditions were optimized for each configuration. A good repeatability of the measurements with no need of cleaning or pretreatment of the biosensors was obtained in both cases. After 51 days of use, the GDH/DP biosensor still exhibited 87% of the original sensitivity, while the GK/GPOx/HRP biosensor yielded a 46% of the original response after 8 days. Calibration graphs for glycerol with linear ranges of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ or 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M glycerol and sensitivities of 1214 ± 21 or 1460 ± 34 μA M⁻¹ were obtained with GDH/DP and GK/GPOx/HRP biosensors, respectively. The calculated detection limits were 4.0 × 10⁻⁷ and 3.1 × 10⁻⁷ M, respectively. The biosensors exhibited a great sensitivity with no significant interferences in the analysis of wines. The biosensors were applied to the determination of glycerol in 12 different wines and the results advantageously compared with those provided by a commercial enzyme kit.     

Monitoring enzymic peroxidation of NAD by capillary electrophoresis

NAD⁺ is degraded by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in a reaction with p-methylbenzyl hydroperoxide, which acts as a pseudo-substrate. An unstable intermediate product (called compound I) is formed, and this is converted into the final product NADX. The reaction can be monitored by capillary electrophoresis. NADX migrates as two well resolved peaks (NADX₁ and NADX₂), which belong probably to the tautomers of the same substance. The intermediate product, compound I, has the same effective mobility as the conformer NADX₂ and it was impossible to separate compound I from NADX₂. The spectra taken during the separation show clearly that the “9-min” peak contains different compounds during the course of the reaction and the NADX₂ is not identical with compound I.     

Solid-supported single- and multi-enzyme amplified assays for clostridiopeptidase A

A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric assay for Clostridium histolyticum clostridiopeptidase A (collagenase) was accomplished by measuring the activity of an alkaline phosphatase indicator enzyme released into solution from insoluble, covalently linked alkaline phosphatase indicator enzyme released into solution from activity of the alkaline phosphatase was monitored spectrophotometrically using either p-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate or more sensitively by a signal amplification system consisting of NAD⁺, alcohol dehydrogenase, diaphorase and INT-Violet. Under the reaction conditions the amount of indicator enzyme produced is directly proportional to the concentration of collagenase. With p-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate the magnitude of the signal was 0.003 abs. min^?1 per 100 ng ml^?1 collagenase whereas with the multienzyme amplification system it was 0.035 abs. min^?1, i.e. approximately as 12-fold increase. The method consists in first incubating the substrate with the bacterial collagenase for 20 min, then up to 96 samples of the released alkaline phosphatase can be analysed in 2 min using a microtitre plate reader run in the kinetic mode.

Highly selective and sensitive detection of NADP coenzymes using co-immobilized glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/diaphorase reactors as on-line amplifiers based on substrate recycling in a chemiluminometric flow-injection system

Two enzyme reactors prepared by the co-immobilization of two different glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases (G6PDH; from Leuconstoc mescenteroides (LM) and yeast (Y) and diaphorase are employed to enhance the sensitivity of NAD(P) coenzymes as on-line amplifiers based on substrate recycling in a chemiluminometric flow-injection system. The NAD(P) coenzymes are recycled enzymatically during passage through the reactor in the presence of sufficient glucose-6-phosphate and oxygen in the carrier solution to produce a large amount of hydrogen peroxide, which is detected chemiluminometrically in the subsequent flow line. The G6PDH(LM)/diaphorase co-immobilized reactor is not specific between the NAD and NADP coenzymes, but shows a six fold selectivity towards NADP coenzymes compared to NAD coenzymes; the amplification factors for NAD and NADP coenzymes are 60 and 380, respectively, at a flow rate of 0.3 ml min(-1). In contrast, the G6PDH(Y)/diaphorase co-immobilized reactor is specific for NADP coenzymes with an amplification factor of about 600 (at a flow rate of 0.3 ml min(-1)). The detection limit is 6 fmol for both NADP(+) and NADPH.     

Pervaporation: An interface between fermentors and monitoring

An enzymic method for the determination of acetaldehyde applicable to the on-line monitoring of this analyte in fermentors has been proposed. The volatile analyte, after its separation by pervaporation, was collected in a stream containing NAD⁺, KC1 and 2-mercaptoethanol. The NADH formed was monitored spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. Different pervaporation temperatures were used, thus enlarging the determination range which was established between 1–100 μg ml⁻¹. The method, which provides excellent precision (RSD less than 3.5% in all instances) has been successfully applied to the determination of the analyte in spiked fermentation media.     

Capillary electrophoresis of nicotinamide—adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide—adenine dinucleotide phosphate derivatives in coated tubular columns

HPCE was shown to be an effective and convenient method for the determination of nicotinamide—adenine dinucleotide (oxidized, NAD⁺; reduced, NADH), nicotinamide—adenine dinucleotide phosphate (oxidized, NADP; reduced, NADPH) and their synthetic derivatives. The coenzymes were easily separated among themselves and from their degradation products, which are inhibitors of dehydrogenases, in 15 min in a coated capillary. Several coenzyme derivatives such as N⁶-(2-aminoethyl)-NAD(P)⁺ and N(1)-(2-aminoethyl)-NAD(P)⁺ were separated by zone electrophoresis in uncoated or coated capillaries using 50 mM 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulphonic acid (pH 7.0) or Tris—HCl (pH 8.0) as buffer systems. Capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography can also be used to monitor continuously coenzyme chemical modifications.
