[Oxidase-peroxidase method for determination of ethanol in fermented musts and wine products].

A new alcohol oxidase-peroxidase method of determination of ethanol content in fermented musts and wine products is described and compared to conventional methods routinely used in winemaking. The sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of this method were determined. The results of ethanol determination in fermented musts and wines correlated well with the data obtained by refractometry (correlation coefficient R = 0.9595, p < 0.0001) and densitometry (correlation coefficient R = 0.9384, p < 0.0001). This method is less time- and labor-consuming and allows simultaneous testing a series of wine samples.

Rapid and sensitive, colorimetric determination of the anomers of D-glucose with D-glucose oxidase, peroxidase, and mutarotase.

A modification, utilising mutarotase, of an enzymic, colorimetric system for determining D-glucose with D-glucose oxidase, peroxidase, and ABTS was satisfactory for the assay of the anomers of D-glucose in aqueous solution. The time required for a single assay is approximately 10 min, and the lower limit is 0.4 microgram of D-glucose. The method is applicable to the anomer analysis of D-glucose released by enzymic hydrolysis of D-glucosides.

A histochemical model dealing with an immobilized glucose oxidase-peroxidase system. The influence of diffusion limitations on histochemical results.

A histochemical model dealing with an immobilized bienzyme system (glucose oxidase-peroxidase) is presented. The model is an artificial proteic membrane obtained by a previously described co-cross-linking process. The kinetic properties of free and immobilized horseradish peroxidase were studied when 3,3'-diaminobenzidine is used as a hydrogen donor substrate. A new direct method was developed for immobilized enzyme activity measurements. Computer simulation based on experimental kinetic parameters was performed in order to discuss electron microscopy results. By changing diffusion limitations, various profiles of insoluble product were visualized inside the proteic film and no geometrical similarity was seen between enzyme distributions and insoluble osmiophilic product patterns.

The oscillating peroxidase-oxidase reaction in an open system. Analysis of the reaction mechanism.

1. The oscillations in the peroxidase-oxidase reaction in an open system with NADH as the hydrogen donor are caused by the reaction starting and stopping at critical concentrations of the substrates O2 and NADH. The existence of such critical concentrations is typical of branched chain reactions. 2. The critical concentrations of O2 and NADH that determine the initiation of the reaction are mutually dependent. 3. The branching reactions that determine these critical concentrations involve compounds I and II. 4. Superoxide may be involved in the branching reactions by reacting with NADH and ferriperoxidase. At pH 5.1 the rate constant for the latter reaction is determined as 1.5 . 10(5) M-1 . s-1, whereas for the former reaction only an upper limit for the rate constant of 3.5 . 10(4) M-1 . s-1 could be estimated. These relatively low rate constants suggest that alternative branching reactions may also be involved.

Oxidase-peroxidase enzymes of Datura innoxia. Oxidation of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide in the presence of formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester.

The oxidase-peroxidase from Datura innoxia which catalyses the oxidation of formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester to benzoylformic acid ethyl ester and formic acid was also found to catalyse the oxidation of NADH in the presence of Mn2+ and formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester. NADH was not oxidized in the absence of formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester, although formylphenylacetonitrile or phenylacetaldehyde could replace it in the reaction. The reaction appeared to be complex and for every mol of NADH oxidized 3-4 g-atoms of oxygen were utilized, with a concomitant formation of approx. 0.8 mol of H2O2, the latter being identified by the starch-iodide test and decomposition by catalase. Benzoylformic acid ethyl ester was also formed in the reaction, but in a nonlinear fashion, indicating a lag phase. In the absence of Mn2+, NADH oxidation was not only very low, but itself inhibited the formation of benzoylformic acid ethyl ester from formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester. A reaction mechanism for the oxidation of NADH in the presence of formylphenylacetic acid ethyl ester is proposed.

Computer simulation of sustained oscillations in peroxidase-oxidase reaction.

A system of differential equations of second order exhibiting transitional behaviour and sustained oscillations has been obtained for a complete scheme of the peroxidase-oxidase reaction. The concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and of hydrogen donor radicals are slow variables of the system. The most essential reactions responsible for oscillations have been selected. Analysis of the system in phase plane and in parameter space has been carried out. The dependence of oscillation period and amplitude on the parameter values has been investigated.

Determination of some reactive oxygen species scavengers based on the peroxidase-oxidase oscillator.

This paper reports a new method for detection of ROS scavengers including superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid and glutathione based on a 'probe' of peroxidase-oxidase biochemical oscillator. The oscillation period and amplitude change with different concentrations of scavengers. The linear ranges of superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid and glutathione are respectively 1.56 x 10(-4)-1.56 x 10(-3) mg mL(-1), 1.75 x 10(-7)-1.75 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) and 9.38 x 10(-7)-7.5 x 10(-5) mol L(-1). The selectivity, linearity and precision for superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid, and glutathione are presented and discussed. The results compared well with other standard methods for determination of superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid and glutathione. Some possible steps in the overall reaction mechanisms are discussed.

On the ability of lactoperoxidase to catalyze the peroxidase-oxidase oxidation of a vitamin E water-soluble derivative (Trolox C).

The rapid-scan spectral technique has been applied to test conversion of the lactoperoxidase compounds during the peroxidase-oxidase catalyzed oxidation of Trolox. The results clearly indicate a normal peroxidatic pathway of Trolox degradation. Changes of spectral scan profiles were investigated to study directly the interaction of Trolox with lactoperoxidase compound III. Oxygen radicals were not involved in peroxidase-mediated oxidation of Trolox. The rate of the one-electron reduction of lactoperoxidase compound I to II was the same in the absence and presence of equal amounts of Trolox and ascorbic acid, which is also a good substrate for lactoperoxidase. The oxidation of Trolox by lactoperoxidase has potential physiological relevance. Since it could help maintain the catalytic cycles and activity of animal peroxidases, leading to detoxification of hydrogen peroxide as a main product of inflammation processes.

Involvement of cysteine, serotonin and their analogues in peroxidase-oxidase reactions.

Myeloperoxidase-oxidase reactions with close to physiological concentrations of thiols and phenols were studied. Cysteine was shown to be a myeloperoxidase-oxidase substrate when catalytic amounts of serotonin were added as cosubstrate. Penicillamine could be substituted for cysteine and acetaminophen could be substituted for serotonin. The properties of these peroxidase-oxidase reactions, e.g. the dependence on substrate and myeloperoxidase concentration, reduced oxygen species, metal ions and pH, were studied. Also, eosinophil, lacto- and horseradish peroxidase could catalyse these reactions.

Novel glucose non-interference biosensor for lactose detection based on galactose oxidase-peroxidase with and without co-immobilised beta-galactosidase.

Two types of amperometric biosensors for lactose detection based either on co-immobilisation of two enzymes (galactose oxidase with peroxidase) or co-immobilisation of three enzymes (beta-galactosidase, galactose oxidase and peroxidase) were constructed. A graphite rod with pre-adsorbed ferrocene was used as a working electrode. The use of galactose oxidase instead of the frequently used glucose oxidase resulted in the construction of a glucose-non-interfering lactose sensor. Co-immobilisation of peroxidase with galactose oxidase allowed the effect of borate on the extension of the linear range and the effect of the working potential on galactose oxidase activation to be studied. The presence of beta-galactosidase greatly enhances the sensor's sensitivity, but its linear range is narrower than that of the sensor without beta-galactosidase. Addition of DEAE-dextran and inositol to the enzyme layer improved the half-life more than 16-fold compared with the sensor without stabilisers. A response time between 60 and 75 s (90% of the steady-state value) and a detection limit for lactose determination from 44 to 339 microM (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) were observed depending on the conditions. The precision of measurements of standard lactose solution for the trienzymatic and bienzymatic sensors was 2.19 and 2.02%, respectively. The precision of analysis of dairy products varied from 0.24 to 5.24%. Analyses of real samples showed good correlation with HPLC analysis; eight samples and 10 standard lactose solutions without pre-treatment were analysed in 1 h.

Fluorometric determination of mucin-type glycoproteins by the galactose oxidase-peroxidase method.

We developed a convenient and specific method for the determination of mucin-type glycoproteins using galactose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase on the basis of the contents of galactosyl and N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues in glycoproteins. Galactose and galactosamine residues released from glycoproteins after hydrolysis were oxidized with galactose oxidase and subsequently the resultant hydrogen peroxide was determined by a combination of horseradish peroxidase and 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid as a fluorogenic substrate. The contents of galactose/galactosamine residues in N- and O-glycans, as determined by the galactose oxidase-peroxidase method, were in good agreement with those described in the previous reports. We applied the present method to determine mucin-type glycoproteins secreted from rat gastric mucosa by stimulation with misoprostol, a prostaglandin E(1) analogue in vivo. Thus, the galactose oxidase-peroxidase method is useful for the determination of mucin-type glycoproteins in biological materials.

Peroxidase and peroxidase-oxidase activities of isolated human myeloperoxidases.

Isolated neutrophils from healthy donors were used for the isolation of four highly purified forms of myeloperoxidase as determined by spectral (A430/A280 ratio 0.80-0.87) and enzyme-activity measurements. Although the myeloperoxidases exhibited different elution profiles on cation-exchange chromatography, gel filtration indicated similar relative molecular masses. When these forms were assayed for peroxidase and peroxidase-oxidase activities with several substrates, they all exhibited virtually the same specific activities. These results suggest that possible functional differences between the enzymes may be related to differences in their sites of action rather than to differences in enzyme activity. Myeloperoxidase from a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia also revealed a similar heterogeneity on cation-exchange chromatography. However, this myeloperoxidase contained in addition one form with a lower and one form with a higher relative molecular mass, as indicated by gel-filtration chromatography.

Feedback loops for Shil'nikov chaos: The peroxidase-oxidase reaction.

Special structures in a chemical reaction network can give rise to bistability, oscillations, and chaos. It has been shown recently [A. Sensse and M. Eiswirth, J. Chem. Phys. 122, 044516 (2005)] that the introduction of an additional species in a supplementary feedback loop to a minimal autocatalytic oscillator gives rise to chaotic dynamics in a certain range of parameters, independent of the particular realization of the additional loop. This provides a possibility to decide if chaos may occur just by analyzing the network structure of an existing model. Here, we apply this concept to analyze the complex dynamics in several essential subsystems of the peroxidase-oxidase reaction system. The aim of the present paper is to determine the nature of the occurring chaos and its location in the parameter space by numerical bifurcation analysis and simulations.

Enzymatic assay of gamma-cystathionase activity using pyruvate oxidase-peroxidase sequential reaction.

A highly sensitive method has been developed for the determination of gamma-cystathionase (EC. 4.4.1.1.) activity in rat tissues using beta-chloro-L-alanine as a substrate. This method is based on colorimetry for the determination of pyruvate produced from beta-chloro-L-alanine with the beta-elimination catalyzed by gamma-cystathionase, coupling a color enzymatic reaction with pyruvate oxidase and peroxidase. The absorbance increases with the oxidized color of a leuco dye, N-(carboxymethylamino)-4,4'-bis (dimethylamino)-diphenylamine at 727 nm is proportional to the gamma-cystathionase activity. The present method is more sensitive and more rapid than the usual methods and does not require troublesome steps such as centrifugation. The calibration curve is linear up to 1.6 microg of partially purified enzyme (100 U/l). Comparison with the usual method with L-homoserine as a substrate gave good correlation (r=0.990). The present method was applied to the determination of gamma-cystathionase activity in adult male rat tissues. The mean activities in liver and kidney were 8.03 and 3.91 U/g wet weight (n=10), respectively.
