description Product Description

Soil Leucine Aminopeptidase (S-LAP) Activity Assay Kit is widely used in environmental and agricultural research to assess soil health and microbial activity. It measures the activity of leucine aminopeptidase, an enzyme produced by soil microorganisms, which plays a critical role in the breakdown of proteins and peptides into amino acids. This process is essential for nutrient cycling in soil ecosystems. By quantifying S-LAP activity, researchers can evaluate the impact of agricultural practices, such as fertilization or crop rotation, on soil microbial communities. It also helps in monitoring soil degradation, assessing the effects of pollutants, and studying the recovery of contaminated soils. Additionally, this kit is valuable in ecological studies to understand the relationship between soil enzyme activity and plant growth, aiding in sustainable land management and soil conservation efforts.

Soil Leucine Aminopeptidase (S-LAP) Activity Assay Kit - Microplate Method

Product Information

Product code: 67055

S-LAP is a class of enzymes secreted by soil microorganisms that can hydrolyze peptide chains with N-terminal leucine. Changes in S-LAP activity are closely related to certain pathological states of the body.

S-LAP decomposes L-leucyl-p-nitroanilide to produce p-nitroaniline, which has a maximum absorption peak at 405 nm. S-LAP activity can be calculated by measuring absorbance at 405 nm.

Transportation and Storage

TransportationTransport with ice packs.
StorageStore Reagent I at 4 °C. Store Reagent II at -20 °C, protected from light. Shelf life is 180 days.

Instructions for Use

1. Reagent Preparation

Add 15 mL Reagent I to the Reagent II bottle and dissolve thoroughly. If dissolution is difficult, heat in a 60 °C water bath for about 30 min to promote dissolution.

Incubate in a water bath at 37 °C for mammals or 25 °C for other species for 10 min or longer.

Aliquot unused reagent and store at -20 °C. Do not freeze and thaw repeatedly.

2. Operating Procedure

  1. Preheat the microplate reader for 30 min or longer, set the wavelength to 405 nm, and zero with distilled water.
  2. Add samples according to the table below.

  1. Mix well and react with shaking at 37 °C for 1 h.
  2. Centrifuge at 8000g, 4 °C for 10 min.
  3. Transfer 200 μL of supernatant into a 96-well plate and measure the absorbance at 405 nm as A.
  4. Calculate ΔA = Aassay- Acontrol. Set one control tube for each assay tube.

3. S-LAP Activity Calculation

Unit definition: the generation of 1 μmol p-nitroaniline per day by 1 g soil sample is defined as one unit of enzyme activity.

S-LAP (μmol/d·g-1, soil sample) = ΔA × Vtotal reaction÷ (ε × d) × 106÷ W ÷ T = 29.6 × ΔA

Vtotal reactionTotal volume of the reaction system, 3 × 10-4L
εMolar extinction coefficient of p-nitroaniline, 9.72 × 103L/mol·cm-1
dOptical path length of the cuvette, 0.5 cm
