7.4 TEST METHOD
Inhibition Reaction
7.4.1 Pipette (in milliliters) the following reagents into a suitable containers:
7.4.2 Mix by inversion and allow to stand at 25 ºC for a minimum of five minutes and no longer than six minutes.
7.4.3 Trypsin Inhibitor (Reagent 7.3.5) aliquots may be adjusted as necessary to achieve acceptable linearity.
Enzymatic Reaction:
7.4.4 Pipette (in milliliters) the following reagents into suitable cuvettes:
7.4.5 Mix by inversion and equilibrate to 25 ºC. Monitor the A253nM until constant, using a suitably thermostatted spectrophotometer. Then add:
7.4.6 Immediately mix by inversion and record the increase in A253nM for approximately 5 minutes. Obtain the ΔA253nM/minute using the maximum linear rate for the Uninhibited Solution using a minimum of four data points over a one minute time interval.
7.4.6.1 The uninhibited Trypsin activity should be within 85% of the release value for activity.
7.4.6.2 The maximum linear rate (corrected ?Abs253nM / minute) for the uninhibited solution should be between 0.0545 and 0.0835.
7.4.7 Apply time interval for the uninhibited solution determined in 7.4.6 to each of the tests and blank. Use these rates in calculation of inhibition. The Tests should result in 20% to 80% inhibition.
7.5 CALCULATIONS
7.5.3 Where:
df = Dilution factor
0.001 = The change in A253nM/minute per unit of Trypsin at pH 7.6 at 25 ºC in a 3.2 mL reaction mix
0.10 = Volume (in milliliters) of Enzymatic Reaction Mixture used in step 7.4.5
10.0 = Total volume (in milliliters) of Inhibition Reaction in step 7.4.1
0.50 = Volume (in milliliters) of Trypsin used in 7.4.1
7.5.5 Where:
RM = Reaction Mixture
conc = Concentration
v = Volume (in milliliters) of Trypsin Inhibitor solution used in step 7.4.1
10.0 = Total volume (in milliliters) of Inhibition Reaction in step 7.4.1
7.5.6 Plot the Trypsin activity (in BAEE units/mg Trypsin) vs. Mg of Trypsin Inhibitor/RM. Record the y-intercept, slope and linear regression (R-square). The R-Squared value should be > or = to 0.95.
