How can the Vmax of an enzyme reaction be calculated from the colorimetric SAM assay?

Posted by The Protein Man on Jan 29, 2014 1:56:00 PM The Protein Man

To calculate the Vmax and Km of the reaction you will need to run various concentrations of the methyltransferase to be tested and calculate the activity at each concentration.

The following are example numbers and should not be used with the assay. The optimal starting amount of enzyme will need to be determined empirically

An Example: The following concentrations of a methyltransferase were used in the SAM510 assay and the activites were calculated as per the protocol.

[Methyltransferase] (mM)

Activity

0.1

0.04855

0.125

0.05664

0.167

0.06827

0.25

0.08395

0.5

0.11227

1

0.133

Convert both columns of data in the above table to the inverse. i.e Divide 1 by each number in the table above.

1/[Methyltransferase] (mM)

1/Activity

10

20.59836979

8

17.65574554

6

14.64772963

4

11.91231024

2

8.907403153

1

7.518796578

Plot the above as a chart and determine the linear equation for a linear trendline:

Vmax Determination

1/Vmax is the y-intercept. This is 6.0373 in the above example. So Vmax = 1/6.0373 = 0.1656 µmol/min/ml

The x intercept is -1/km. So in the above equation. 0=1.4527(-1/Km)+6.0373. So Km=-1.4525/-6.0337 or 4.5812mM

CB™ PROTEIN ASSAY: A Bradford Protein Assay

CB Protein Assay Graph

An improved Coomassie Dye based protein assay based on the Bradford Protein Assay. This assay is suitable for the simple and rapid estimation of protein concentration. This assay is based on a single Coomassie dye based reagent. The binding of protein to the dye results in a change of color from brown to blue. The change in color density is proportional to protein concentration. Protein estimation can be performed using as little as 0.5µg protein.

Features

  • Sensitivity: Linear responses over the range of 0.5µg-50µg protein
  • Flexible Protocols: Suitable for tube or Titer plate assays
  • Ready to use assay reagents and no preparation required
  • Long shelf life, stable for 12 months
