You can perform standard assay methods for GR and GPX enzymes after extraction of plant sample with100mM Tris -HCl buffer pH 7.5 and 1mM EDTA the centrifugation for 15 min at15,000xg use the supernatant as the source of enzyme performed assay protocol as described see Hunaiti etal1995 Papers are in my research gate Good luck
Glutathione reductase (GR; EC 1.6.4.2) activity can be assayed as described by Carlberg and Mannervik, 1975, by measuring the oxidation of NADPH at 340 nm. The reaction mixture consisted of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.5), 50 mM MgCl2, 16 M oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and 8 mM NADPH and was initiated by addition of supernatant. The activity of GR should be calculated based on tissue protein concentration and expressed as relative enzyme activity. I hope this will serve your purpose.
I have extracted flavonoids from plants. Can I check glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity in my extract? or I should check these activities during stress conditions? Abdelrahim Ahmad Hunaiti
you can assay glutathione peroxidase and catalase in crude extracts under stress conditions or under normal condition provided you used the standard assay protocols and you can com pair the activities
