Embodiment 1

[0028] Embodiment 1: AAPY substrate assays the drafting of the standard curve of protease enzymatic activity

[0029] 1) Prepare different concentrations of p-nitroaniline solutions with DMSO.

[0030] 2) Composition of the reaction system: 80 μL of phosphate buffer (pH=7.5), 20 μL of p-nitroaniline solution, and 100 μL of phosphate buffer (pH=7.5).

[0031] 3) Take tube 0 without p-nitroaniline as blank, at OD 410 The absorbance was measured respectively.

[0032] 4) Take the absorbance A as the ordinate, and the final concentration C of p-nitroaniline as the abscissa, draw a standard curve (the curve should pass through the zero point). Calculate the concentration of p-nitroaniline when the absorbance is 1 according to the drawing, which is the absorbance constant K value. standard curve as figure 1 shown.

Embodiment 3

[0061] Embodiment 3: Utilize national standard method and method of the present invention to measure a plurality of alkaline protease samples simultaneously

[0062] The alkaline protease gene and its variants derived from Bacillus clausii were expressed in Bacillus subtilis to obtain multiple strains, and the enzyme activity data of these strains were determined by fermentation in this experiment. The protease gene number derived from Bacillus clausii is: CP019985.1. The original strain and 5 mutant strains were selected for this experiment. Naming rules for mutant strains: "amino acid replaced by the original amino acid position" is used to represent the mutant strain, and the amino acid residue uses the single-letter symbol form in the recognized nomenclature, such as G283A, indicating that the amino acid at position 283 is derived from glycine (G) of the parent protease Replaced by alanine (A), the numbering of the positions corresponds to the amino acid sequence numbering o

Abstract

The invention provides a method of simply, conveniently and quickly measuring protease activity. The method mainly includes that an oligopeptide compound Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Tyr-pNA is utilized as a substrate to prepare a reaction system composed of a solution of the substrate, buffer liquid and protease liquid, protease hydrolyzes peptide bond between tyrosine (Tyr) in oligopeptide and p-nitroaniline(pNA), pNA monomer generated after breaking of the peptide bond has an absorbing peak at OD410, and activity of protease can be obtained by measuring light absorption value of OD410. The method is simple in process operation, short in time consumption and low in sample demand and can measure enzyme activity of multiple samples at the same time and meet needs of large-scale sample measuring.
