A continuous spectrophotometric assay is described for the aminoacylation reaction catalyzed by Escherichia coli alanyl-transfer RNA synthetase. The assay is based on coupling the alanyl-tRNA synthetase-dependent formation of AMP to the lactate dehydrogenase oxidation of NADH. Oxidation of NADH, as monitored at 340 nm, is shown to be stoichiometric with the formation of alanyl-tRNA(Ala). This assay will facilitate the rapid accumulation and analysis of kinetic data for alanyl-tRNA synthetase and should be applicable to aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in general.
本文描述了一种用于检测大肠杆菌丙氨酰 - 转运RNA合成酶催化的氨酰化反应的连续分光光度法。该检测方法基于将丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶依赖的AMP形成与NADH的乳酸脱氢酶氧化反应偶联。在340nm处监测到的NADH氧化与丙氨酰 - tRNA(Ala)的形成呈化学计量关系。这种检测方法将有助于快速积累和分析丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶的动力学数据,并且一般应适用于氨酰 - tRNA合成酶。
