I would like to prepare standard curve for pectinolytic activity using DNSA method. Do I have to use galacturonic acid for this. Can you suggest a method?
If you may tell me about the substrate your are using for the assay of pectinolytic enzyme activity measurement, I may be able to tell the details of standard curve to be made.
I am sending you two papers for reference where you can draw standard curves for different products released by enzymatic hydrolysis of pectin. Hope it will solve your problem
Dear, actually, you prepare 1- 10mm stock solution of D- Galacturonic acid, Mol. wt 212. then substrate con. 0.5% (0.2M acetate buffer, pH 5.5) mixture incubate 60 minutes then will you add 1 ml (1%) DNS for reaction stop take OD 550nm
