  • Title: A colorimetric assay for immobilized chloroperoxidase.
    Author: Kadima TA, Pickard MA.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1990 Apr; 36(4):302-4. PubMed ID: 2357645.
    Abstract:
    A rapid and sensitive colorimetric assay was developed for the estimation of chloroperoxidase activity. N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine was chosen from four potential chromogenic substrates because the blue product resulting from chloroperoxidase conversion gave the highest molar absorption. This product exhibited two absorbance maxima, at 563 and 610 nm. Activity was monitored at 563 nm, and the product absorbance was stable for at least 1 h at 10 degrees C after treatment with an equal volume of a mixture (40:1) of methanol and phosphoric acid (85% w/v), pH 2. The linear range of the assay with respect to enzyme amount was determined. The assay was developed using soluble chloroperoxidase but worked well with the enzyme immobilized on glass beads.
