Abstract

Epoxide hydrolase activities of various microbial cells were analyzed by colorimetric assay based on alkylation of epoxides with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP). The epoxide hydrolase activity was determined by measuring the decrease of color intensity at 560 nm due to the decrease of styrene oxide substrate by epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction. The experimental conditions of NBP colorimetric assay were optimized for the efficient measurement of epoxide hydrolase activities from various microbial cells.

4-(p-Nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP)의 색깔변화를 이용한 epoxide hydrolase활성 측정법을 사용하여 다양한 미생물 세포유래의 epoxide hydrolase 활성을 측정하고 평가하였다. Epoxide hydrolase의 가수분해 반응에 의해 분해되고 남은 에폭사이드 기질에 의한 NBP alkylation 반응을 통한 색깔변화로 손쉽게 epoxide hydrolase 활성을 측정할 수 있었다. NBP 반응에서 triethylamine을 첨가하여 색깔반응 효율을 높일 수 있었으며, 10mM styrene oxide에 대한 최적 세포 사용량은 12.5mg/ml로 결정하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 colorimetric assay조건에서 대용량의 미생물 후보군집으로부터 유용한 epoxide hydrolase를 가지는 신규 미생물을 효율적으로 선별할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
