Opis

Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is widely found in animals, plants, microorganisms and cultured cells. SDH is a marker enzyme of mitochondria, which is a membrane binding enzyme located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. It is also one of the key points of respiratory electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, it provides electrons for the respiratory chain of various prokaryotic cells.

SDH can catalyze the dehydrogenation of succinic acid to fumaric acid. The dehydrogenation can reduce 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) under the transfer of phenazine dimethyl sulfate (PMS). 2,6- DCPIP has a characteristic absorption peak at 600 nm. The reduction rate of 2,6-DCPIP is determined by the change of absorbance at 600 nm, which represents the activity of SDH enzyme.

Required but not provided

Spectrophotometer, water-bath, tabletop centrifuge, adjustable pipette, mortar/homogenizer, 1 mL glass cuvette, ice and distilled water.

Protocol

I. Extraction of SDH:

Accurately weigh 0.1 g of tissue or collect 5 million cells, add 1 mL of Reagent I and 10 μL of Reagent II, homogenize by using homogenizer/mortar in ice bath, fully grind, centrifuge at 11000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take the supernatant and place it on ice for testing.

II. Procedure

1. Preheat spectrophotometer for 30 minuta, adjust wavelength to 600 nm and set zero with distilled water.
2. Procedure test

Add each reagent to 1 mL glass cuvette in turn, and start timing at the same time of adding Reagent VI, record the initial absorbance A1 at the wavelength of 600 nm for 20 sekundi. Then put the cuvette together with the reaction solution into a water bath of 37℃ (mammal) or 25℃ (other species), and accurate reaction for 1 minute. Quickly take out the cuvette and dry it, and record the absorbance A2 at 80 seconds at 600 nm. ΔA = A1-A2, obtain ΔAT, ΔAB.

III. Calculation of SDH activity

Calculation formula for determination with 1 mL glass cuvette.

• Protein concentration

Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the consumed of 1 nmol of 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol per minute in the reaction system every milligram tissue protein.

SDH(U/mg prot)＝[(ΔAT-ΔAB)÷(ε×d)×VRV×109]÷(Cpr×VS) ÷T＝1555.556×(ΔAT-ΔAB)÷Cpr

• Sample weight

Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the consumed of 1 nmol of 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol per minute in the reaction system every gram tissue.

SDH(U/g)＝[(ΔAT-ΔAB)÷(ε×d)×VRV×109]÷(VS÷VST×W) ÷T＝1571.111×(ΔAT-ΔAB)÷W

• Germ or cells

Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the consumed of 1 nmol of 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol per minute in the reaction system every 10 thousand germ or cells.

SDH(U/104 cell)＝[(ΔAT-ΔAB)÷(ε×d)×VRV×109]÷(VS÷VST×500) ÷T

＝3.142×(ΔAT-ΔAB)

VRT: Total reaction volume, 0.98×10-3 L;

ε: The molar extinction coefficient of 2,6-DCPIP, 2.1×104 L/mol/cm; d: The light diameter of cuvette, 1 cm;

Vs: Sample volume, 0.03 mL;

VST: Add the volume of Reagent I and Reagent II, 1.01 mL; T: Reaction time(min), 1 minute;

Cpr: Sample protein concentration, mg/mL; W: Sample weight, g;

500: Cells or germ, 5 million.

Note

1. All reagents and samples shall be placed on ice during the determination to avoid denaturation and deactivation.
2. If ΔA is greater than 0.5, the enzyme solution should be diluted with enzyme extract to obtain ΔA with less than 0.5, which can improve the detection sensitivity.
3. Because the Extract solution contains a certain concentration of protein (about 1 mg/mL), it is necessary to subtract the protein content of the Extract solution itself when determining the protein concentration of the sample.

Experimental example:

1. Take 0.1g of kidney, add 1 mL of Reagent Ⅰ and 10 μL Reagent Ⅱ, grind the homogenate with ice bath, centrifuge at 4℃ and 11000g for 10 min, and place the supernatant on ice. According to the determination procedure, the enzyme activity is calculated as follows: ΔAT= A1T- A2T=0.82-0.681=0.139, ΔAB= A1B- A2B=905-0.904=0.001

SDH activity (U/g mass) = 961.905×(ΔAT- ΔAB) ÷ W =2168.13 U/g mass.
