Anwendungsinformationen

Applikationshinweise: Determination of L-phenylalanine in serum, urine and other biological samples.

Protokoll: Use black flat-bottom plates. Prior to assay, bring all reagents to room temperature. Briefly centrifuge enzyme tubes, keep on ice during assay.
1. Standards. Prepare 400 µL 300 µML-Phenylalanine Premix by mixing 6 µL 20 mM Standard and 394 µL distilled water. Transfer 5 µL standards into separate wells of the plate.
2. Sample. Liquid samples can be assayed directly. Tissue (20 mg) or cells (2x10 6 ) can be homogenized in 200 µL ice-cold PBS, followed by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 5 min. Use clear supernatant for assay. Samples not measured on the same day can be stored frozen, preferably at -80°C. Transfer 5 µL of each sample in duplicate, one for Sample and one for Sample Blank, to separate wells of the plate.
3. Assay. For standards and sample wells, prepare enough Working Reagent, for each well, by mixing 85 µL Reagent A, 8 µL NAD, 1 µL Probe, 1 µL Enzyme A and 1 µL Enzyme B. For the Sample Blank wells, prepare Blank Reagent for each well by mixing 86 µL Reagent A, 8 µL NAD, 1 µL Probe and 1 µL Enzyme B (i.e., without Enzyme A). Add 90 µL Working Reagent to Standard and Sample wells, and 90 µL Blank Reagent to the Sample Blank wells. Tap plate to mix. Incubate for 20 min in the dark.
5. Read fluorescence intensity at exc/em = 530/595 nm.

Abstract: Phenylalanine Produkte

Substanzklasse: Amino Acid

Hintergrund: Quantitative determination of L-phenylalanine by fluorimetric (530/595nm) method.
Procedure: 30 min.

L-Phenylalanine is one of the twenty common amino acids and an important precursor for several key signal molecules such as dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and the skin pigment melanin. It is found naturally in the breast milk of mammals, and used as nutritional supplements in food and drink products. The genetic disorder phenylketonuria is the inability to metabolize phenylalanine. Individuals with this disorder are known as phenylketonurics. Individuals who cannot metabolize phenylalanine must monitor their intake of protein to control the buildup of phenylalanine. This L-Phenylalanine Assay Kit provides a convenient fluorimetric means to measure L-phenylalanine in biological samples. In the assay, L-phenylalanine is oxidized by phenylalanine dehydrogenase, producing NADH, which reduces a fluorescent dye to a highly fluorescent product. The resulting fluorescence intensity (exc/em = 530/595nm) is linear to the L-phenylalanine concentration in the sample.
