Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The reaction mixture was composed of 100 mM TES buffer (pH 7.0), 5 mM L-proline, 5 mM2-ketoglutaricacid, 1 mM ferrous sulfate, 5 mM L-ascorbic acid and a predetermined amount of the pure enzyme, the total volume being 100 μl. The reaction was initiated by addition of the enzyme and continued for 10 minutes at 35° C. The reaction was stopped by heating the reaction mixture at 100° C. for 2 minutes. The amount of cis-3-hydroxy-L-proline formed in the reaction mixture was determined by the pre-column derivatization method using HPLC. One hundred microliters of 0.3 M boric acid buffer (pH 10.7), 4 μl of an aqueous solution of 10% (v/v) mercaptoethanol and 16 μl of ethanol solution of 5% (w/v) OPA were added to 100 μl of the reaction mixture, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 60° C. for 30 seconds. In addition, 50 μl of ethanol solution of 2% (w/v) NBD was added thereto and the mixture was allowed to stand at 60° C. for 40 minutes. The reaction was stopped by adding 30 μl of 1 N HCl to the reaction mixture, and the precipitates formed were removed therefrom by centrifugation and filtration. The cis-3-hydroxy-L-proline formed by the reaction was quantitatively determined by HPLC analysis.
