Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (Ach) to choline, and the reaction of choline with disulfide p-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) to produce 5-merhydryl-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). TNB had a characteristic absorption peak at 412 nm. By measuring the absorbance increase rate at 412 nm, the activity of AchE was calculated.
Applications
It is suitable for the detection of acetylcholinesterase activity in serum, plasma and animal tissue samples.
Procedure
1. Prepare standard samples and experimental samples. 2. Add reaction reagents in order for reaction. 3. Measure the absorbance of each tube. 4. Make the mark curve and calculate the result.
Materials
• Sample Type: serum, plasma and animal tissue samples
