Abstract
Carboxylesterase and sorbitol dehydrogenase are separated by non-denaturing two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) of isoelectric focusing separation using 5% carrier ampholyte (pH 6-8) and 1.25% carrier ampholyte (pH 3-10) and size separation. Furthermore, activities of sorbitol, malate and lactate dehydrogenases are sequentially examined when the enzymes are separated by 2-DE and are sequentially reacted to sorbitol, malic and lactic acid, respectively, in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nitro blue tetrazolium and phenazine methosulphate. Several kinds of enzymes including lactate dehydrogenize isozymes can be simultaneously separated using 2-DE. Furthermore, the binding differences between lactate dehydrogenase isozymes and concanavalin A (con A) can be examined using a combination of 2-DE and non-denaturing stacking gel electrophoresis. The results of this study indicate that non-denaturing 2-DE can be applied to both enzyme separation and isozyme heterogeneity analysis.
