General description

Research area: Cancer

Application

Diaphorase from Clostridium kluyveri has been used:
  • in lactate dehydrogenase assay in gill cells.
  • impregnated on the strip for formate dehydrogenase assay.[1]
  • in various assays to oxidate β-NADH or β-NADPH in the presence of an electron acceptor.
  • for semiquinone generation during benzoquinone reduction.[2]
  • for evaluation of glucose uptake in cultured muscle cells.[3]
  • in lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Diaphorase catalyzes the oxidation of either β-NADH or β-NADPH in the presence of an electron acceptor such as methylene blue or 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol. Diaphorases that are specific for either β-NADH or β-NADPH are known. The pig heart enzyme of Straub seems to have native diaphorase (β-NADH specific) as well as lipoic and lipoamide dehydrogenase activities.

Physical form

Supplied as a lyophilized powder containing trehalose.

Other Notes

One unit of diaphorase will oxidize 1.0 micromole of beta-NADH per minute at pH 7.5 at 25 degrees C, with the corresponding reduction of the appropriate electron acceptor.

  2. How to prepare stock solution for Diaphorase in order to use 2 units in reaction

    1 answer
    1. For assay purposes, this product is reconstituted 1 mg/ml in cold 200 mM Tris-HCl buffer containing 294 mM Potassium Chloride, 0.54 mM Riboflavin 5'-monophosphate, and 0.025% (w/v) BSA, pH 7.5. The minimum activity of this enzyme is 30 u/mg protein with a minimum protein content of 50%. At the minimum activity and minimum protein content, 2 units of 1 mg/mL stock solution would have a volume of 133 uL. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot-specific Certificate:
