I'm planning to do NADPH dependent method peroxiredoxin activity assay. Can anyone elaborate on Do's and Dont while doing such an activity assay? thank you
Peroxiredoxin activity assay by following the oxidation of NADPH at 340nm by hydrogen peroxide.in most cell types hydrogen peroxide disappearance is also catalyzed by catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity it difficult if not impossible to measure peroxiredoxin activity with any specificity ,it might works with purified Prx only.ulternative method you could use ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (.FOX)assay which directly measures peroxide- dependent oxidation of Fe(11 ) to Fe (111).keep in mind in all these assays reagents should be prepared the day of assay.Good luck
what is the self life life of glutathione reductase enzyme. i m not getting the exact graph i should get using nadph ,glutathione ,glutathione reductase ,hydrogen peroxide and my sample? please help
Peroxiredoxins are cellular peroxidases that reduce peroxides in the presence of Thioredoxin. Thioredoxin is oxidized in the process and is regenerated by Thioredoxin reductase that utilizes reducing equivalents from NADPH. E.coli Trx and mammalian Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) can be used to provide reducing power to peroxiredoxins for reduction of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide. The utilization of NADPH for the reduction of peroxides should be monitored as it decreases absorbance of NADPH at 340nm. Specific activity is the amount of NADPH oxidized/min/mg of protein.
