play00:03

hello and welcome to the second

play00:05

experiment called the determination of

play00:08

enzymes specific activity

play00:11

the objectives of these experiments are

play00:14

determine the gst enzyme activity and

play00:17

determine the protein concentration by

play00:20

the right method and the last one is

play00:22

determine determine the specific

play00:24

activity of dsd enzyme

play00:28

the fundamental of these experiments are

play00:31

the activity of the gst enzyme in the

play00:33

protein mixtures

play00:35

depends on the amounts of protein used

play00:38

in the reaction therefore it is

play00:40

necessary to know that the protein

play00:43

content in the edit folio

play00:46

so as you can see here on the picture

play00:49

there is a monomer and polymer here

play00:51

so the monomer is a small molecule let's

play00:54

say this monomer contains a two white

play00:57

circle and

play00:58

one black circle

play01:00

while the polymer is

play01:02

is a long chain molecule made up of

play01:05

repeated patterns of monomers for

play01:08

example here there are four

play01:11

uh different uh four repeated patterns

play01:14

of monomer containing white white and a

play01:16

black circle

play01:24

so a monomer is a single molecule that

play01:27

can be joined together with other same

play01:29

molecules to form a polymer

play01:32

the building blocks of the proteins are

play01:34

amino acid which contain elements such

play01:37

as

play01:38

hnoc

play01:40

and more

play01:41

they are the monomers of the proteins

play01:44

when hundreds or thousands of amino

play01:46

acids join together they create the

play01:49

proteins which are then used for many

play01:51

tasks in organisms such as doing work in

play01:54

cells help with that with dna

play01:56

replication and so on

play01:59

so we can

play02:00

say that monomer is an amino acid itself

play02:02

and the polymer is a protein

play02:06

so amino acid there are 20 kinds of

play02:08

amino acid that differentiate by the r

play02:11

chain here

play02:13

there is an amine chain and the carboxyl

play02:16

chain here and the r can be anything so

play02:18

it can be a non-polar it can be

play02:21

uncharted polar or a chart polar

play02:26

so amino acid itself can polymerize to

play02:29

form a linear chains for example like d

play02:32

peptide here at the bottom one

play02:35

so these two

play02:36

amino acids are

play02:39

joined together with the peptide bond

play02:42

here

play02:42

so it can be said that this is a d

play02:45

peptide

play02:47

so moving on so uh

play02:50

how to quantify the protein so and

play02:53

protein quantitative analysis there are

play02:55

three types of it so there is a

play02:57

volumetric and the gastometry and sp

play03:00

spectrum for dometry and the volumetric

play03:02

analysis containing there is a dou haul

play03:06

which is uh the determination of the

play03:08

total end and then formal titration

play03:11

there so they are using the

play03:14

uh alkali metric titration and a

play03:16

gasoline while the gasometric analysis

play03:20

they used uh converting the an

play03:23

amine group to an n gas

play03:25

while the spectrophotometry here so

play03:27

there are two types of spectrophotometry

play03:30

the uv and the visible light the uv is

play03:34

used used for

play03:36

uh quantified proteins with aromatic

play03:39

groups such as phenylalanine thyrosine

play03:41

and riptophan while the visible light

play03:44

such as your buret falling and lorry

play03:49

in

play03:50

the

play03:51

way

play03:52

so in our

play03:55

in our experiment here we are going to

play03:58

use the visible light spectrophotometry

play04:01

we are using the bio-red uh

play04:04

analysis so the bare analysis is measure

play04:07

[Music]

play04:09

the protein complex between the peptide

play04:13

chains uh that

play04:15

making a complex with the

play04:18

buret

play04:19

ion such as

play04:21

co2 plus here

play04:23

and their protein complex uh between the

play04:27

protein and by red reaction here co2

play04:30

plus will be performed in a blue purple

play04:34

color which is can be measured under the

play04:37

wavelength 550 nanometer

play04:49

so the biored reaction gives a

play04:52

plus reaction to a compound containing

play04:56

ch2 and h2 or chn hn h2 rcs and h2

play05:02

the advantages of using the biored

play05:05

method is that the concentration of a

play05:07

protein is a comparable to the

play05:09

polypeptide bone

play05:11

and then the method is uh

play05:13

simple and fast all the disadvantages of

play05:16

the bird method here is they are less

play05:18

sensitive

play05:20

and then the color is sometimes an

play05:22

unstable yeah

play05:30

so why this method is less sensitive to

play05:34

others because

play05:36

many a sample that containing like this

play05:39

uh

play05:40

here chains ch2 and several this for

play05:45

this kind of chain so they can be

play05:48

measured by this method

play05:50

so

play05:51

it can be protein it can be others uh

play05:54

sample so that's why it's less sensitive

play05:58

so moving on why

play06:00

a big questions

play06:01

why we need to measure the protein

play06:04

concentration and why we need to measure

play06:07

the enzyme activities is that really

play06:10

important

play06:17

so for our experiment we are going to

play06:22

[Music]

play06:24

measure the gst enzyme so as you can see

play06:26

here in the picture the phase two enzyme

play06:29

reaction

play06:30

there uh involves three different

play06:32

enzymes such as

play06:34

glucoronaceal transferase or ugt

play06:37

in glucoronidation

play06:39

while the second one is

play06:42

enzyme sulfur transferases or st

play06:45

involving in sulfation and the last one

play06:47

is enzyme glutathione as transversal

play06:51

involved in glutathione conjugation

play06:54

so we're going to

play06:55

explain about the

play06:57

dst here or glutathione s transparency

play07:01

this phase 2 enzyme reaction are

play07:03

involved

play07:05

in the excretion of some xenobiotics in

play07:09

our body

play07:10

so including the gst one

play07:18

so as we can see here in the picture the

play07:20

glutathione and enzyme biotic

play07:23

helped by the enzyme of tst will

play07:27

transform or make a glutathione s

play07:30

conjugate to be ex

play07:32

to be excluded

play07:34

from our body

play07:43

for the glutathione conjugation as i

play07:46

already explained to you that there are

play07:48

three enzymes there so the glutathione

play07:50

conjugation

play07:51

uh include and

play07:54

several uh

play07:56

xenobiotics such as electrophilics

play07:58

antibiotics or the synovitics that

play08:02

already uh transform bio biologically to

play08:05

electrophilic trophies

play08:08

while the substrate for the gst itself

play08:11

share three common features

play08:13

such as the

play08:15

the substrate must be hydrophobic and

play08:17

the electrophilic and react to

play08:20

non-enzymatically with potassium

play08:23

at a measurable rate

play08:31

and so moving on to the next slide there

play08:33

are

play08:34

three types of uh

play08:37

gst

play08:38

conjugation or

play08:41

there is three different processes

play08:45

for making the godathion s conjugate or

play08:48

conjugation the first one is a direct

play08:51

conjugation by displacement of an

play08:54

electron uh withdrawal

play08:58

uh withdrawing group so

play09:00

sorry it's covered by this screen here

play09:03

so for example there is a four nitro

play09:06

quinoline one oxide here on the left

play09:09

so this

play09:10

nitro oxide

play09:15

group

play09:16

will be

play09:17

displaced by the gs minus one so that

play09:21

this position will be displaced by the

play09:23

gs while the direct conjugation by

play09:26

adding of glutathione here means that

play09:29

for example the

play09:30

j ethyl malaya here

play09:34

the the h plus ion or the double bond

play09:38

here in the c

play09:40

will be adding uh or will be

play09:43

broken down uh

play09:45

by the gs so the c uh double bond will

play09:49

be

play09:50

replaced by the c with the gs ion here

play09:55

while the conjugation of a strain ring

play09:57

system uh format metabolically for

play10:01

example this is a chlorobenzene or

play10:04

p450 will be

play10:06

a

play10:07

form

play10:09

or uh

play10:10

will be transformed into

play10:14

a 3 4 oxide which is a structurally

play10:18

this is

play10:20

more

play10:21

uh

play10:23

unstable

play10:24

uh by p 450 so that the gs minus or

play10:28

glutathione minus here can be

play10:32

displaced or can be

play10:34

replace

play10:35

the h

play10:36

ion here by the

play10:38

gs ion

play10:48

as you can see here there are several

play10:50

types of gst

play10:52

detoxification or types there is a alpha

play10:56

and fee in mu and tether and fee and

play10:59

zeta and so on

play11:01

and the substrate and the gst enzyme

play11:05

firstly published in 1974

play11:07

including the cdnb that you are going to

play11:10

use in your experiment

play11:12

so uh moving on uh the preparation upon

play11:16

determination of enzyme specific

play11:18

activity measurement so in this

play11:20

experiment you are going to do uh five

play11:23

different things or five uh continue

play11:26

i mean related uh experiment the first

play11:30

one is prepare the cyto cytosolic

play11:33

fraction containing the gst

play11:35

enzyme from mice this is already

play11:37

prepared by

play11:39

the

play11:39

uh by our staff and the second one is

play11:42

the determination of enzyme activity or

play11:44

gst in a red liver by the cdnb method

play11:47

and the third one is a preparation of

play11:50

provine serum albumin standard curve

play11:52

using the buyer method and the fourth

play11:54

one is determination of the protein

play11:56

content of cytosolic fraction containing

play11:58

gst by the bird method and the last one

play12:01

you're going to determine the enzyme

play12:03

specific activity calculation so overall

play12:06

there are five steps to

play12:09

finally can

play12:11

measure the specific activity of the dst

play12:14

enzyme

play12:18

so for the first preparation cytosolic

play12:21

fraction of the gst from mice

play12:26

if we can

play12:28

read here

play12:29

we have

play12:30

we we need to fit the male rats which is

play12:33

the strain sprocket only one with the

play12:36

weight 200 and up to 250 with the pellet

play12:40

and water until it full and let the red

play12:43

fast for

play12:44

24 hours prior to the next step then

play12:48

after that you need to sacrifice the red

play12:50

with the neck and leave with the neck

play12:52

dislocation

play12:54

and for the cytosolic fraction

play12:56

preparation containing dst by a

play12:58

centrifuge method so after you

play13:01

did the dislocation so

play13:04

the liver will be uh

play13:07

chop up and then will be uh

play13:11

will be uh separate between the enzyme

play13:14

and the the other fraction by using the

play13:17

centrifuge centrifugation method

play13:19

and then after that the red liver take

play13:22

the red lever and immediately

play13:24

uh put and phosphate

play13:26

buffer uh in the cold one and add ph

play13:30

seven then measure the weight and cross

play13:32

the red liver in a phosphate buffer

play13:34

using a coat blender

play13:36

for five minutes

play13:39

and after that centrifuge the refined

play13:41

homogeneity at 10 000 g for 30 minutes

play13:45

at 44 degrees

play13:48

and take an end transfer the supernatant

play13:51

to a new tube and discharge the

play13:53

precipitated layer

play13:55

and centrifuge the supernatant at

play13:58

105

play14:00

g 1000g for 90 minutes at 4 degree

play14:04

it's like a

play14:05

several step of centrifugation to take

play14:08

the tst enzyme

play14:09

and the supernatant layer is cytosolic

play14:11

fraction containing the gst enzyme as i

play14:14

already explained before

play14:16

after the centrifugation there's

play14:18

supposed to be two layers there so here

play14:21

we need to take and out the supernatant

play14:23

and store the cytosolic fraction at

play14:25

minus 80 until for the use for the cdnb

play14:29

conjugation with gsh

play14:33

and the first step that already prepared

play14:36

by our laboratories so the second step

play14:39

is we're going to determine the enzyme

play14:42

activity or gst right liver by the cdnb

play14:46

method cdnp is stand for one chloro 2.4

play14:50

d nitrobenzene

play15:03

so here as we can see on the table there

play15:05

are

play15:06

two different fraction or two different

play15:09

type one is a

play15:11

dst

play15:12

cytosol fraction one is a an arc or it's

play15:16

a distilled water

play15:18

so

play15:19

why we need to use the

play15:21

distilled water because it's going to be

play15:22

used as a blank here

play15:25

so please prepare two types of of lust

play15:28

there

play15:29

[Music]

play15:31

as you can see on the explanation of the

play15:34

experiment

play15:35

you are going to prepare two flags one

play15:37

is cytosol fraction

play15:39

and then the other one is distilled

play15:41

water and put 920 for split buffer and

play15:44

then

play15:45

put 20 microliter of gsh and 20

play15:48

microliter of cdnb

play15:50

and then the last one is add the

play15:52

cytocytosol fraction for example and

play15:55

distill water for blank the gsdnb

play15:58

conjugate when

play15:59

when after you mix it up all of this

play16:02

reagent you you will have a gsd and b

play16:05

conjugate product form and then measure

play16:09

at 340 nanometer from minute 0 to minute

play16:13

3 using a spectrum photometric as a

play16:16

simple kinetic program so it means after

play16:19

you

play16:20

mix all the reagent there so you need to

play16:24

uh measure

play16:26

the zero minute and

play16:28

minute three so you have two different

play16:31

uh

play16:32

measurement

play16:34

results for each sample so you will you

play16:37

will have

play16:38

four different measurement there

play16:41

uh the one two for example and two for

play16:43

plain

play16:52

so please make a note that the

play16:53

measurement time which is considered as

play16:56

the 0 minute the same as the other

play16:59

treatment it means that if you are mixed

play17:02

all the reaction

play17:04

so the zero minute it means the the last

play17:07

time when you edit the cdnb for the

play17:10

sample also similar for the blank one

play17:15

so starting time is calculated yeah

play17:17

after you add

play17:18

at the city and b so the city and b1

play17:21

should be added

play17:22

the last after you put all the reaction

play17:26

there

play17:27

such as first cytosol fraction phosphate

play17:29

buffer gsh and the last one you need to

play17:32

put the cdnb and

play17:34

make it as zero minute

play17:43

so the end of product will be rate or

play17:46

observation absorbent absorption per

play17:49

minute so

play17:50

after that the gst enzyme activity is

play17:53

then measured in micro mole product per

play17:56

minute so the observation you need to

play17:59

measure there is reaction speed so it

play18:02

means the absorbance the delta

play18:04

absorbance so

play18:06

before uh so as you can see here there

play18:09

is a two uh measurement

play18:11

the zero minute and the minute three so

play18:14

the delta minute it means that the

play18:17

minute three uh minus minute zero so you

play18:20

can got the delta absorbance there per

play18:24

minute

play18:25

and then

play18:27

the other calculation here is you need

play18:30

to

play18:31

calculate the gst activity and speed

play18:34

reaction in b here divided by eight

play18:37

point five hundred uh

play18:39

[Music]

play18:40

micro mole percent per micro mole

play18:42

centimeter so you can got the micro mole

play18:45

gstnb per minute is

play18:48

stated as c

play18:49

the result of this calculation is needed

play18:52

for

play18:52

further calculation the activity of the

play18:55

enzyme so you need to

play18:57

measure all of this step

play19:01

and the third

play19:02

one after you

play19:05

measure the

play19:06

speed of

play19:08

speed of reaction so the third one is

play19:10

making a standard curve why you need to

play19:13

make a standard curve because you need

play19:15

to

play19:16

measure the concentration of the gst

play19:20

enzyme so

play19:21

here is how to measure

play19:24

how to make the bsa standard curve or a

play19:28

bsa stand for the bovine serum albumin

play19:31

using the biored method

play19:33

so the first materials is biored reagent

play19:36

and the standard solution of bsa and the

play19:40

phosphate buffer you can read by

play19:42

yourself and then the procedure is very

play19:45

simple so wait

play19:46

the albumin and put it in a

play19:49

volumetric flask and add little quartz

play19:52

and make an albumin standard curve with

play19:55

the series concentration ranging from

play19:57

100 to 700 microgram per milliliter so

play20:00

the procedure in c here is very

play20:02

important because you need to make a

play20:04

range of concentration that you're going

play20:06

to use to make a standard curve

play20:10

so here it is the standard curve table

play20:13

here

play20:13

so there is one up to six and the other

play20:16

one as

play20:18

a sample so it's going to be a seven

play20:20

different uh flask or seven different

play20:23

solution you need to prepare

play20:26

the first one is a albumin solution

play20:29

which is contained the bsa one microgram

play20:32

per milliliter and the second plus you

play20:35

is the vsa concentration of 1.5 and the

play20:38

other one is 2 and 3 and 4 and for the

play20:41

last one

play20:42

there is no bsa there because it's going

play20:45

to be your blank

play20:48

and then the last one is your sample

play20:51

of gst sample that you are going to

play20:54

figure out how many uh how many

play20:57

concentration is there

play20:59

so

play21:00

the standard curve

play21:02

will be

play21:03

making this uh

play21:06

six

play21:07

uh

play21:08

six absorbance uh reading

play21:12

and you need after you read the

play21:14

absorbance there so you need to make a

play21:17

linear graph equation

play21:20

uh like this is the concentration this

play21:23

is the absorbance there so you you're

play21:26

going to find out

play21:28

the the concentration of the sample you

play21:32

are added

play21:34

uh you are going to measure so for

play21:36

example

play21:37

uh

play21:38

or after you mix all of the reaction to

play21:42

make the standard curve and then you got

play21:44

the equation like for example

play21:47

y

play21:48

uh

play21:50

y equal to b x plus a

play21:53

and for example if

play21:55

the

play21:56

absorbance is y so if the absorbance is

play22:00

0.234

play22:02

then the

play22:03

0.234 equals bx plus a

play22:07

and the x1 stands for your concentration

play22:10

your sample concentration so it means

play22:12

that

play22:14

0.234 which is y minus a divided by b

play22:22

so the four

play22:24

step is the determination of protein

play22:27

concentration of cytosol fraction

play22:29

containing the gst

play22:31

so here

play22:33

also uh all you need to do is just mix

play22:36

mix all of the reagent here cytosol

play22:38

fraction phosphate buffer and

play22:40

bioreaction

play22:42

and incubate those solution in the room

play22:45

temperature for 10 minutes and measure

play22:48

the absorbance absorption of the mixed

play22:51

solution at 550 nanometer

play22:54

against a blank

play22:56

which is containing no cytosol fraction

play23:02

and then

play23:03

after you read all of the this

play23:07

absorbance here this this this one this

play23:10

absorbance here

play23:11

you're going to

play23:13

measure the cytosol protein content

play23:16

which is the total uh

play23:20

the total volume per cytosol fraction

play23:23

milligram per microliter

play23:26

and this one is you can get this one by

play23:30

uh measuring this one

play23:33

first

play23:34

and within within the form microliter

play23:37

there were going to be

play23:39

some milligram protein so it means after

play23:42

you

play23:43

you

play23:44

measure the eggs

play23:46

uh protein concentration which is shown

play23:49

here you can put the concentration as a

play23:52

cytosol protein contained by dividing

play23:55

the

play23:56

ten thousand uh the thousand

play23:58

one

play23:59

times the total volume uh divided

play24:01

cytosol fraction volume

play24:04

and then within the four microliter

play24:06

there they are going to be

play24:08

d the cytoso protein contain within a

play24:11

four microliter they're going to be a

play24:13

milligram protein

play24:18

so please make a note the one unit of

play24:20

enzyme is the total of enzyme that

play24:23

catalyze one microliter of substrate

play24:25

reaction per minute and an enzyme

play24:27

specific activity is the total of enzyme

play24:30

units per milli divided by the protein

play24:33

concentration in milligram per milli or

play24:36

the total enzyme unit over milligram

play24:38

protein therefore the unit for specific

play24:41

enzyme activity is unit per milligram

play24:44

and then the purity of enzyme is

play24:47

proportional to the value of its

play24:49

specific activity meaning that the

play24:51

greater value of the specific activity

play24:54

the higher the purity of the enzyme

play25:02

so the next question is why we need to

play25:04

measure the enzyme activities regarding

play25:06

to the pharmaceutical fields why

play25:09

um ensuring the gst enzyme is so

play25:12

important

play25:13

for example here

play25:15

there is a

play25:17

one

play25:18

scientific report

play25:20

here

play25:21

with the title advance in antitumor

play25:24

agents start getting glutathione as

play25:26

transversal

play25:27

so the dst is as already explained to

play25:31

you that yes it's a family office 2

play25:34

detoxification enzyme

play25:36

so

play25:36

[Music]

play25:38

the this enzyme

play25:40

catalyzed the conjugation of glutathione

play25:43

including the chemotherapetic agents

play25:47

so

play25:48

the

play25:50

tst is

play25:51

an enzyme that will be excluded

play25:56

or catalyze

play25:58

or will be ex will be will will help the

play26:01

excretion of some semibiotics

play26:04

so

play26:05

the gst in a

play26:06

[Music]

play26:08

cancer patient that as you can as you

play26:10

can as you know that the cancer is

play26:13

such a cell which is uh

play26:16

have a super

play26:18

growth that they can uh divide the cell

play26:22

can divide into a multiple or trill

play26:25

multiple

play26:26

uh produce multiple cell so

play26:30

you can imagine that the tst enzyme is

play26:33

often produced there so it means

play26:37

the excretion of some xenobiotics will

play26:40

be totally also

play26:42

uh

play26:42

multiple times ex

play26:45

doing excretion

play26:47

so it means that

play26:48

whenever the cancer patients

play26:52

they receive some chemotherapy

play26:55

so it means

play26:56

the cell will be

play26:58

expressed or will be exclude

play27:00

the chemotherapetics drugs also in huge

play27:04

amounts

play27:05

so the gst enzyme

play27:08

can be

play27:11

can be targeted as an

play27:14

uh

play27:15

xenobiotic target

play27:17

so

play27:18

whenever the gst is inhibited so it

play27:21

means that the chemotheraphatic

play27:25

drug can be used or can be treated the

play27:28

cancer patient successfully because the

play27:31

gst is inhibited and the gst cannot

play27:35

express or exclude

play27:38

any

play27:39

chemotherapeutic drugs outside our body

play27:43

so it means that the chemotheraphatic

play27:45

drugs

play27:46

can

play27:48

can give any benefit a maximum benefit

play27:51

to our body

play27:53

so thank you for listening
