Colorimetric determination of cholinesterase activities - Ellman's assay. Enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of acetyland butyryl-thiocholine (AcSCh and BuSCh) produce acetate (or butyrate) and thiocholline. In the presence of the highly reactive dithiobisnitro-benzoate (DTNB) ion reacts to generate the yellow of 5-thio-2nitrobenzoate ani

Colorimetric determination of cholinesterase activities - Ellman's assay.
Acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis of
acetyl- and butyryl-thiocholine (AcSCh and BuSCh) - sulfur analogs of their respective natural substrate, acetylcholine. Upon hydrolysis, these substrate analogs produce acetate (or butyrate) and thiocholine. Thiocholine in the presence of the highly reactive dithiobisnitro-benzoate (DTNB) ion reacts to generate the yellow of 5-thio-2nitrobenzoate anion. The yellow color, can be quantified by its absorbance at 405 nm (Ellman et al, 1961) . We will perform the Ellman assay in 96-well microtiter plates in a final reaction volume of 200 l. Substrate hydrolysis is monitored by repeated spectrophotometric readings at 2 min. intervals by a computer controlled microtiter plate reader which automatically computes mA405/min for the best fit straight line through the data points. We will then convert our data into the standardized units of nanomoles substrate hydrolyzed/min x ml, using the extinction coefficient for the yellow product ( = 13,600 M-1cm-1) to find the concentration, c, from the equation c = A/xl. The light path, l, is 0.5 cm. Lab Manual: Protein extraction. 1. Homogenize tissue in 9 volumes of Solution D. 2. Incubate on ice for 1hr. 3. Centrifuge for 45 min at 14,000 rpm at 4 C. 4. Collect supernatant fluid to a new eppendorf tube. Step by step through activity measurement in homogenates. 1. Prepare 50 ml Ellman's reagent without substrate (0.1 M phosphate buffer pH7.4, 0.5 mM DTNB). 2. Aliquot 10 l enzyme samples into wells of a 96-well microtiter plate 3. Add 180 l of the Ellman's reagent to each well. 4. Preincubate approximately 30 min in case you use inhibitor. 5. Prepare a 20X (20 mM) solution of substrate (acetylthiocholine iodide) and keep on ice until used. 6. Dispense 10 l of the substrate to each well. 7. Spectrophotometric readings (405 nm) may now be taken at regular intervals using a specially adapted microtiter plate reader; you will receive directions from the instructor as to its operation.
