Abstract:
Adsorption of alkaline phosphatase (APase) on minerals (goethite, montmorillonite) and sediments from Taihu Lake was studied. However, the concentration of alkaline phosphatase in the supernatant cannot be analyzed by the adsorption at 280 nm due to that the UV spectroscopy was changed. Quantitative analysis of alkaline phosphatase in the supernatant by the absorption peak (252-305 nm) integration method of UV spectroscopy was developed. This method determined the concentrations of alkaline phosphatase well. Compared to the results of Bradford, the absorption peak integration method can determine the concentrations of supernatant fast, conveniently, and accurately. This method can also be applied to other protein solution analysis and similar experiments. The drawbacks of traditional single wavelength method (280nm) were overcome to some extent based on the method of absorption peak integration.
