Colorimetric assays for the detection of C4- and C2-epimerization of NDP-glucose to NDP-galactose and NDP-mannose
CDP-tyvelose 2-epimerase-like enzymes and UDP-glucose 4-epimerases belong to the Nucleotide Sugar active Short-Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase (NS-SDR) superfamily and convert NDP-Glc to NDP-Man and NDP-Gal, respectively. The product detection is well established using HPLC-based methods, capillary electrophoresis and thin layer chromatography for both epimerization reactions. However, the lack of a reliable colorimetric assays and poor substrate availability slow down the screening process of these enzymes, for example during enzyme engineering projects. After testing 16 phenolic compounds with different aldohexoses in concentrated sulfuric acid, thymol was found suitable for the detection of (NDP-) mannose and 1-naphthol for the detection of (NDP-) galactose in the presence of (NDP-) glucose. As proof-of-concept, the optimized assay was used for the biochemical characterization of the CDP-tyvelose 2-epimerase from Ardenticatenia bacterium.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
