MaintainsPhenol-chloroform ML-281 web extraction Protects Pyridine Nucleotide from Enzymatic Degradation during Preparations and Dissociates Protein-bound NADHIt has long been known that most of the NAD+ exists in free solution form while most of the NADH is protein bound [27]. In order to accurately measure the total Mirin site amount of NADH, the extraction method should be able to denature protein and release NADH. Denaturing protein will also reduce enzymatic degradation of pyridine nucleotides. We compared three extraction 1676428 methods: phenol chloroform extraction [28], chloroform-only extraction and 6 M guanidine-HCl. Guanidine-HCl extraction is a strong denaturing reagent which is capable of breaking protein secondary structure and has been used in assaying other metabolites [29,30,31]. We found guanidine extraction interfered with ADH activity (Fig. 4a) and is not suitable for this enzymatic recycling assay. For reasons unknown, phenol-chloroform treated samples also give a more linear kinetic curve than that of chloroform-only treated samples (Fig. 4a and 4b). We compared the redox ratio (NAD+/NADH) obtained from the same fly tissue homogenate: untreated control, chloroformonly treated and phenol-chloroform treated (see Table 2). Phenolchloroform treatment gives the lowest value, suggesting NADH recovery in this reaction is the highest among all three. Also noticeable is that 25837696 the amount of pyridine nucleotides detected following phenol-chloroform extraction is the highest among three treatments.Measuring Redox Ratio by a Coupled Cycling AssayFigure 2.
