Simple, Sensitive Zymogram Technique for Detection of Xylanase Activity in Polyacrylamide Gels

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A method capable of detecting as little as 0.11 U of xylanase activity in polyacrylamide gels was developed. The method entails incubation of protein gels in contact with substrate gels containing unmodified xylan, followed by immersion of substrate gels in 95% ethanol. Resulting zymograms contain transparent bands corresponding to enzymatic activity against an opaque background.
