| T1 |
0-46 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Microchip device for performing enzyme assays. |
| T2 |
47-128 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An automated enzyme assay was performed within a microfabricated channel network. |
| T3 |
129-246 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Precise concentrations of substrate, enzyme, and inhibitor were mixed in nanoliter volumes using electrokinetic flow. |
| T4 |
247-433 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Reagent dilution and mixing were controlled by regulating the applied potential at the terminus of each channel, using voltages derived from an equivalent circuit model of the microchip. |
| T5 |
434-602 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The enzyme beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) was assayed using resorufin beta-D-galactopyranoside (RBG), a substrate that is hydrolyzed to resorufin, a fluorescent product. |
| T6 |
603-761 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Reaction kinetics were obtained by varying the concentration of substrate on-chip and monitoring the production of resorufin using laser-induced fluorescence. |
| T7 |
762-863 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Derived Michaelis--Menten constants compared well between an on-chip and a conventional enzyme assay. |
| T8 |
864-1036 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Bias in the derived K(m) and kcat was primarily due to the limited solubility of RBG and the associated lack of measurements at substrate concentrations exceeding the K(m). |
| T9 |
1037-1228 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A Ki of 8 microM for the inhibitor phenylethyl beta-D-thiogalactoside (PETG) was determined from plots of initial rate versus substrate concentration obtained at three concentrations of PETG. |
| T10 |
1229-1419 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The relative inhibition of beta-Gal by lactose, p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid, and PETG was determined by varying the inhibitor concentration with constant enzyme and substrate concentration. |
| T11 |
1420-1633 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An enzyme assay performed on the microchip within a 20-min period required only 120 pg of enzyme and 7.5 ng of substrate, reducing the amount of reagent consumed by 4 orders of magnitude over a conventional assay. |
