It is a copper-containing oxidase that can oxidize monophenols and diphenols to produce quinones, leading to browning. It is closely related to fruit and vegetable processing, tea quality, and tissue culture. The Plant Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) Activity Assay Kit (Catechol, Micro method) provides a simple method to detect the activity level of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in plant tissue samples.Detection Principle: Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the sample catalyzes the oxidation of catechol to produce quinones, which have a characteristic absorption peak at 410 nm. The rate of increase in absorbance at 410 nm is measured to calculate PPO activity.P1501774Component48T96TStorageP1501774AExtraction Buffer60 mL120 mL2-8℃P1501774BReagentⅠ24 mL48 mL2-8℃P1501774CReagentⅡ6 mL12 mL2-8℃.

Sample PreparationNote: Fresh samples are recommended. If not used immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for one month.2.1 Preparation of Crude Enzyme ExtractHomogenize the plant sample in ice-cold Extraction Buffer with a mass (g) to volume (mL) ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 (recommended: 0.1 g tissue + 1 mL Extraction Buffer). Centrifuge the homogenate at 8,000 g, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.2.2 Boiled Sample ControlTake an appropriate amount of the crude enzyme extract and heat it in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (seal to prevent moisture loss). Cool to room temperature.3. Assay Steps3.1 Preheat the microplate reader or visible spectrophotometer for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 410 nm. For spectrophotometers, zero the instrument with deionized water.3.2 Sample Measurement (Add reagents sequentially into 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes):ReagentControl Tube (µL)Test Tube (µL)Boiled Sample500Sample (supernatant)050ReagentⅠ200200ReagentⅡ50503.3 Mix thoroughly. Incubate in a 25°C water bath for 10 minutes, then immediately transfer to a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. After mixing, centrifuge at 5,000 g, 25°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant. Transfer 200 µL of the supernatant to a micro glass cuvette or 96-well plate. Measure the absorbance of both the Test tube and Control tube at 410 nm. Calculate ΔA = Atest - Acontrol.Note:Each test tube requires a corresponding control tube.It is recommended to perform a preliminary test with 2-3 samples expected to have significant differences before the formal experiment.The optimal reaction temperature for PPO may vary slightly among different samples and can be adjusted between 25-37°C.If the sample absorbance is less than 0.02, consider increasing the sample volume appropriately. If the sample absorbance is greater than 1, it is advisable to dilute the sample before assay.4. Calculation of ResultsNote: We provide both the derived formula and a simplified formula. They are equivalent. It is recommended to use the simplified formula in bold for final calculation.4.1 Calculation Formula when using a 96-well plate:Unit Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount that causes a change of 0.005 in absorbance at 410 nm per minute per gram of tissue per mL of reaction mixture.PPO Activity (U/g fresh weight) = ΔA × Vtotal reaction÷ (W × Vsample / Vtotal sample ) ÷ 0.005 ÷ T = 120 × ΔA / W4.2 Calculation Formula when using a micro glass cuvette:Unit Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount that causes a change of 0.01 in absorbance at 410 nm per minute per gram of tissue per mL of reaction mixture.PPO Activity (U/g fresh weight) = ΔA × Vtotal reaction ÷ (W × V sample / Vtotal sample ) ÷ 0.01 ÷ T = 60 × ΔA / WParameter Definitions:Vtotal reaction: Total volume of the reaction system (0.3 mL)Vsample : Volume of sample added to the reaction (0.05 mL)Vtotal sample : Volume of Extraction Buffer added during homogenization (1 mL)T: Reaction time (10 minutes)W: Sample weight (g)PrecautionsThis product is for research use only.

One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide,The Endo F Multi-Kit will deglycosylate N-linked glycans in both native and denatured conditions. Each enzyme has a distinct specificity for N-linked glycan release. One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide, or to use each enzyme independently and thereby determine the type of N-glycans present.Product DescriptionThe Endo F Multi-kit is recommended to deglycosylate native proteins that are resistant to PNGase F cleavage under non-denatured conditions due to the glycan location within the protein’s three-dimensional structure, as these enzymes are known to be less sensitive to protein conformation.Each of the enzymes has a different N-linked glycan specificity:Endoglycosidase F1 cleaves high mannose and some hybrid type N-glycansEndoglycosidase F2 releases biantennary and high mannose glycans (at a 40X reduced rate)Endoglycosidase F3 will release triantennarry and fucosylated biantennary N-glycansContents1 vial: Endo F1- 20 µl (0.3 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: Endo F2- 20 µl (0.1 U)10 mM sodium acetate, 25 mM NaCl, pH 4.51 vial: Endo F3- 20 µl (0.1 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium acetate, pH4.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium phosphate, pH5.5Specific ActivityDefined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the release of N-linked oligosaccharides from 1 micro-mole of denatured Ribonuclease B (Endo F1) or porcine fibrinogen peptides (Endo F2/F3) in 1 minute at 37°C, pH 5.5 (PH 4.5 for Endo F3). Cleavage is monitored by SDS-PAGE.FormulationThe enzymes are provided as a sterile-filtered solution.StabilitySeveral days exposure to ambient temperatures will not reduce activity. Stable at least 12 months when stored properly.SpecificityEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked (N-linked) high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides. Endo F2 cleaves N-linked biantennary oligosaccharides and high mannose (at a 40X reduced rate). Endo F3 cleaves free or N-linked fucosylated biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharides,as well as triamannosylchitobiose core structures. These enzymes cleave between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. The recombinant version is not glycosylated, which may result in properties differing from the native protein.Quality & PurityEndo F1, Endo F2, and Endo F3 are tested for contaminating protease as follows: 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with 2 µl of enzyme. SDS-PAGE analysis of the treated BSA shows no evidence of degradation. The absence of exoglycosidase contaminants is confirmed by extended incubations with the corresponding pNP-glycosides. Directions for use 1. Add up to 200 µg of glycoprotein to an Eppendorf tube. Adjust to 34 µl final volume with de-ionized water. 2. Add 10 µl Endo F2 &F3 5x Reaction Buffer, 250 mM sodium acetate pH 4.5. Use Endo F1 buffer, 250 mM sodium phosphate pH 5.5 if you are using the Endo F1 enzyme alone. 4. Add 2.0 µl of each enzyme to the reaction. Incubate 3 hours at 37°C. Monitor cleavage by SDS-PAGE. Applications– Deglycosylation of native proteins resistant to PNGase F cleavage– Determination of glycan type (high mannose, biantennary, tri/tetrantennary)– Deglycosylating proteins which normally precipitate when deglycosylating– X-Ray CrystallographyThese three enzymes cleave asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides between the two GlcNAc residues in the core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine, enhancing the solubility of the protein. In contrast, PNGase F removes the oligosaccharide intact...
