Catalase assay kit

Manufactured by Cayman Chemical
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The Catalase Assay Kit is a laboratory tool used to measure the activity of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an important antioxidant enzyme found in living organisms that helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The kit provides the necessary reagents and protocols to quantify catalase levels in various sample types.

Catalase Activity Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Catalase activity levels were determined with commercial Catalase Assay Kits (Catalogue no. 707002-Cayman Chemical Company, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This assay is based on the reaction of catalase with methanol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The formaldehyde produced is measured upon its reaction with Purpald chromogen which specifically forms a bicyclic compound that changes to colorless to purple color upon oxidation. Catalase activity was measured using total proteins extract as described above and was calculated in nmol.min/μg of protein. To normalize the enzyme activity, the concentration of total protein extract was used. The experiment was performed in three biological replicates.

Colon and liver tissues were homogenized in five volumes of buffer (210 mM mannitol, 1 mM EDTA, 70 mM sucrose, and 50 mM phosphate buffer, at pH 7.4) for measurement of antioxidant enzyme activities. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and catalase (CAT) activity assays were both performed using commercial kits (Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit and Catalase Assay Kit; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

For reporter catalase assays, A. baumannii strains were inoculated from freshly streaked colonies into LB and grown at 37°C for 8 hours with shaking at 180 rpm. Cells were harvested by centrifugation, washed twice with 1X PBS, and normalized to an OD600 of 1. Catalase activity was assessed using a Catalase Assay kit (Cayman Chemical) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Prior to experimentation, a fraction of diluted cells was serially diluted and spot-plated to determine CFU/mL. Activity was normalized to the CFU/mL of each sample.

For the measurement of SOD activity, cells were suspended in cold HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.2, 1 mM EGTA, 210 mM mannitol, 70 mM sucrose), and the resulting cell lysates were centrifuged at 1500' g for 5 min at 4℃. SOD activity was measured using a SOD assay kit (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI). In this assay, tetrazolium salt reacts with superoxide anion to produce formazan, which is detected at 450 nm with an ELISA microplate reader (SpectraMax190; Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA).
For the measurement of catalase activity, cells were homogenized with cold phosphate buffer (50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.0, containing 1 mM EDTA), and the resulting cell lysates were centrifuged at 10,000'g for 15 min at 4℃. Catalase activity was determined in supernatants by the reaction of catalase with methanol in the presence of an optimal concentration of H2O2. Formaldehyde production was determined using a catalase assay kit (Cayman Chemical Company) and was quantified by measuring absorbance at 540 nm using an ELISA microplate reader (SpectraMax190, Molecular Devices).

25 mg liver tissue was homogenized with 250 μl RIPA buffer and then centrifuged at 1600 ×g and 4°C for 10 minutes. The supernatant was collected and stored at −80°C for use. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver was analyzed by Randox assay kit (Cat. no. SD125, Randox Laboratories, ANT, UK) with absorbance at 340 nm. The catalase assay kit (Cat. no. 707002, Cayman Chemical, MI, USA) was used with 540 nm adsorption rate for the detection of catalase activity in the liver. For analyzing the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in mouse liver, 100 μl homogenized liver supernatant was mixed with 100 μl sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution and 4 ml color reagent under boiled water for an hour and then ice-cooled. The mixture was centrifuged at 1600 ×g under 4°C for 10 minutes and then the absorbance value was read at 535 nm spectrophotometrically. The data were expressed as equivalent malondialdehyde (MDA) µM/g protein [26 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
