A method for assay for an unknown enzyme suspected to be present in a liquid includes signal amplification by use of a second enzyme and a blocked modulator for the second enzyme. Unknown enzyme in the liquid removes a blocking group from the blocked modulator. The resulting modulator activates or inhibits the second enzyme which catalyzes an indicator reaction in which a substrate is converted to a product. The presence or absence of the unknown enzyme in the liquid is indicated by a signal, such as a color change or a rate of color change, associated with the indicator reaction. The concentration of the enzyme in the sample may be determined by the measurement of the signal. The invention includes a kit of materials useful for performing the method of the invention. The method involves the hydrolyzing of a blocked fluoroketone inhibitor to facilitate the analytical method.
一种用于检测液体中可能存在的未知酶的测定方法,包括使用第二种酶和第二种酶的阻塞调节剂进行信号放大。液体中的未知酶将阻塞基团从阻塞调节剂中去除。所得到的调节剂激活或抑制第二种酶,第二种酶催化指示反应,将底物转化为产物。与指示反应相关联的信号,如颜色变化或颜色变化速率,指示液体中是否存在未知酶。可以通过测量信号来确定样品中酶的浓度。本发明还包括一种用于执行本发明方法的材料套件。该方法涉及
