Description

General description

Donor: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase
Peroxidase can be coupled to other proteins via its amino groups, as well as its carbohydrate moiety. The reconstituted solution can be used directly for conjugation without prior dialysis.

Application

Peroxidase (POD) has been used in the spermine oxidase enzyme activity assay.

Sequence

Blocking substances
Preparations does not contain substances that block the amino groups, but in contrast to other enzymes POD has only 2 to 3 free amino groups which are not accessible; even by extended dialysis of POD, the number of NH₂-groups/mol does not change.

POD
POD contains 1 molecule of protoheme IX as prosthetic group and 2 molecules of Ca²⁺.
POD exists in > 10 isoenzymic forms (some sources estimate approx. 40 isoenzymes).

Carbohydrate Content
12 to 14.5 mg/100 mg Iyophilizate

Free Amino Groups
Free amino groups: 2 to 3 mol/mol enzyme

Preparation Note

Activator: Ammonia, pyridine, imidazole, all at pH >7; detergents
Working concentration: A suggested working ratio, for immediate use in coupling procedures, is 2 mg POD to 4 mg lgG (molar ratio = 2:1, POD:IgG).
Specific activity: approximately 225U/mg lyophilizate (+25°C, guaiacol, H₂O₂) approximately 1,000 U/mg lyophilizate (+25°C, ABTS, H₂O₂, pH 5.0) approximately 3,500 U/mg lyophilizate (+25°C, tetramethylbenzidine, H₂O₂)
Amino groups: 2 - 3moles/mole enzyme

Carbohydrates: 12.0 - 14.5% (w/w)
