General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in starch hydrolysis research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Application

α-glucosidase is used for the determination of α-amylase and the synthesis of various 1′-O-sucrose and 1-O-fructose esters. It was also used in the measurement of glycosidase inhibition.[1]
For the determination of α-amylase and the synthesis of various 1′-O-sucrose and 1-O-fructose esters

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on 1,4-α linkages. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is a prominent target in the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus[2].
Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing 1→4-linked D-glucose residues with release of D-glucose.

Packaging

Sold on basis of p-nitrophenyl α-D-glucoside units.

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Other Notes

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of D-glucose from p-nitrophenyl α-D-glucoside per min at pH 6.8 at 37 °C.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. what is its specific unit

    1 answer
    1. The protein content and enzymatic activity are determined on a lot-to-lot basis. Each value is reported in the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. The minimum protein content is 50% and the minimum enzymatic activity is 10 units per milligram protein. A review of recent lots indicates typical protein concentrations of >60% and activities of 15 - 30 units per milligram protein. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot-specific Certificate:

  2. WHAT WOULD BE THE SUBSTRATE CONCENTRATION OF 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside FOR 1 U/ml OF THE ENZYME?

    1 answer
    1. Literature indicates that the substrate concentration for using 4-Nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside with this enzyme is typically in the saturation range of 1 mM or higher.

  3. What is the molecular mass of the protein ? More information about the chain structure, number of sulfide bonds, or conditions required for its stability (ions)?

    1 answer
    1. The molecular weight of this enzyme has not been determined. The chain structure, number of sulfide bonds, and other parameters have not been characterized. However, a similar recombinant version, product G0660, lists a molecular weight of approximately 68.5 kDa. Other sources report the molecular weight of a-Glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at approximately 63 kDa.

  4. What is the best method to store a solution of this enzym? Which solvent and wat which temperature? How long can you store it without losing enzymatic activity?

    1 answer
    1. Stock solutions of this enzyme may be aliquoted and stored at -20°C. It is recommended to use within 3 to 6 months.
