PARKER,! and JO H N SAVORY, Ph.D. t Division o f Pathology, Abington Memorial Hospital, Abington, PA The Department o f Hospital Laboratories, North Carolina Memorial Hospital, Departments o f Pathology, Medicine, and Biochemistry, University o f North Carolina, Chapel Hill, JVC Division o f Pathology, University o f Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville, VA ABSTRACT A convenient, totally enzymatic procedure for amylase assay using a centrifugal analyzer is described. The reaction scheme is examined using both starch and m altotetraose as substrates. Data for the reaction kinetics, linearity and sensitivity are presented. The proposed m ethod exhibits linear reaction kinetics betw een three and five m inutes after the initiation of the reaction and is linear to 1200 U per liter of amylase. The determ ination is rapid, (five m inutes analysis time), convenient, (only one reagent), and precise, (1.2 percent within-day C.V. and 4.6 percent day-to-day C.V.), at a level of 62 U per liter. The proposed m ethod compares favorably with chrom ogenic procedures; (r = 0.979, n = 84). Principle Alpha-am ylase (EC ) is quantitated using an enzym e-coupled reaction sequence first described by Pierre.6 The hydrolysis of substrate by amylase is followed by m easuring the production of n icotinam ide-adenine din u cleo tid e, re- * Send reprint requests to Dr. Steven P.

Standard Solutions For the enzym e-coupled procedure, no activity standardization is feasible. H ow ever, to insure optimal results, it is importa n t th at centrifugal analyzers be calibrated as to cuvet tem perature and path length. T em perature calibration is performed using the m ethod described by Bowie e ta l,1and path length calibration is accom plished using th e procedure rec * Beckman Microbics, Carlsbad, CA t Roche Diagnostics, Hoffman-LaRoche, Inc., Nutiey, NJ om m ended by the analyzer m anufacturer incorporating p-nitrophenol as the dye material. The manual dye-coupled procedure is standardized using the protocol recom m ended by the m anufacturer. For this standardization, varying concentrations of triazine dye solution are m easured for their absorbance at 625 nm and a standard curve is generated. The w ater bath tem perature for the m anual procedure is m onitored using a National Bureau of Standards calibrated therm om eter.

The absorbance of the final reaction mixture is determ ined using a grating spectrophotom eter.** Procedure For the analysis of the kinetics of the enzym e-coupled reaction, coupled enzyme reagent systems containing either the starch or the maltotetraose as substrate are reconstituted using the am ount of diluent corresponding to 80 percent of the am ount required by the m anufacturer. After mixing for 15 m inutes by slow inversion, the transfer disc of the centrifugal analyzer is loaded with sample, ml, flush, ml, and reagent, ml. An absorbance print routine is loaded into the system computer, the transfer disc placed into th e instrum ent and the reaction initiated. Absorbance readings are taken at one m inute intervals. Both the starch and m altotetraose substrates are analyzed d u rin g th e sam e batch to e lim in a te betw een-batch variation. For the linearity study, both the starch and m alto tetrao se system s are used. Saline dilutions of an elevated serum sample are assayed by each m ethod using a Kinetic Rate I program containing subroutines for substrate exhaustion and absorbance change errors. Because of the differing kinetics of the two substrates indicated by the kinetic rate experim ents, 11 Lab-Line Magna-Stir, Scientific Products, McGaw Park, IL ** Model 25, Beckman Instruments, Inc., Fullerton, CA T A B L E II Program Parameters fo r th e M altotetraose Enzyme-coupled Procedure fo r Amylase Program KR I Sample volume ml Flush volume ml Run temperature 37 C Factor 3376 Lag phase 180 s Sampling interval 15 s Filter position 1 (340 nm) two separate sets of com puter parameters are used for the linearity studies. When the starch substrate is used, a lag phase of five m inutes and reading phase of two m inutes is incorporated. T he concentration factor, based on the volume fraction of serum and m olar absorptivity of NADH, is calculated to be 1688 for this assay system. The maltotetraose system, on the other hand, requires only a three m inute lag phase and two m inute reading interval. The factor calculated for this system is The computer param eters for the maltotetraose system used for routine determ inations are shown in table II. T he protocol for the dye-coupled procedure is outlined in the reagent insert. This protocol was followed explicitly with no modifications. T he m altotetraose (y-axis) and dyecoupled procedure (x-axis) are compared using the same samples. Analysis is perform ed on norm al and abnorm al specim ens by each m ethodology and the results com p ared by lin e a r reg ressio n analysis. The precision of the maltotetraose assay was determ ined by replicate analysis, both within-day and day-to-day, o f an abnormal control specim en. Results and D iscussion The data for the kinetic study are illustrated in figure 1. Linear kinetics data, using samples having elevated activities, are obtained after a three m inute lag phase for the defined substrate, maltotetraose and, after five minutes, for the starch substrate. In both cases, a reading interval of two m inutes after the initial lag phase is found to exhibit linearity. Also illustrated in figure 1 is the striking change in sensitivity w hen the two substrates are com pared. This characteristic is a result of two factors. From an examination of the reaction principle, it is evident that two moles of maltose are produced for each mole of
4 AUTOM ATED AMYLASE ASSAY 423 m altotetraose cleaved by the action of the amylase. Conversely, only one mole of m altose is produced by each catalytic attack of amylase on the starch. It has also b e e n show n by M en so n 5 th at alphaamylase exhibits a higher affinity for small oligosaccharides than for large, long chain carbohydrate moities. These two factors lead to an increase in sensitivity in assay system s u tiliz in g m alto tetrao se as substrate. T he linearity of the m ethod is graphically illustrated in figure 2. Analysis of the data shows that the assay system utilizing the maltotetraose substrate is linear to approximately 1200 U per liter of activity. For the starch substrate, the reaction is non-linear by dilutional analysis throughout the dynamic range studied. This fact is a result of the attack of amylase on the starch m olecule. Initially, the reaction m ixture contains only starch, but as the amylase cleaves the parent starch m olecule, small oligosaccharides are produced w hich serve as better substrates in the reaction. H ence, the apparent activity of the enzyme is increased. The rate of conversion of starch to oligosaccharide is dependent on the enzyme activity contained in the reaction mixture. As a result, the apparent activity is increased in samples with high amylase activities and decreased in samples with low activity when these two activity regions are compared to samples exhibiting m idrange activities. The apparent increase in activity of elevated samples found when the maltotetraose is used as substrate can be the result of several factors. It is quite possible that the maltotetraose contains som e starch fragm ents w hich cause increases in apparent activity as before, or the mechanism of action of amylase on the su b strate is very com plex, in clu d in g transglycosylation, condensation, and hydrolysis of the defined substrate. A mechanism of this complexity has been described for bacterial amylase by Matsuno et al.4 FIG U RE 1. Kinetic analysis o f the enzym e- coupled procedure for amylase. A and B. A serum sample exhibiting 340 U per liter of activity when using maltotetraose as the substrate. C and D. A serum sample having 30 U per liter activity using maltotetraose as substrate. The comparison of the enzym e-coupled procedure (y), and the dye-starch procedure (x) is graphically illustrated in figure 3. By analyzing 84 normal and pathological specim ens in duplicate, a linear regression equation of y = 0.874x 24 is obtained. The m ethod correlation is r = 0.979, and this level of correlation agrees with that shown earlier by Crouse,3 using a different enzym e-coupled reaction and the dye- starch method.

The data presented here demonstrate the utility of the enzym e-coupled assay and its applicability to the study undertaken. The m ethod is precise, has a broad range of application (to 1200 U per liter of activity), is not interfered w ith by en dogenous glucose and uses kinetic m ethodology which eliminates blanking and end-point interferences. The ability to automate the analysis of amylase is of prime importance to the clinical laboratory. The m ethod proposed here meets all requirements of an assay system in the modern laboratory.
